Contact Healthy Couples

NOTE: For those who have found me through the Grow My Relationship couple's support platform, with this platform, I do things differently. So, refer to that website for the guidelines for consultation and first sessions. Here is a link to their website: https://growmyrelationship.com/

 The free, no obligation consultation is almost always a phone call. I also work with individual people who are looking for support--whether relationships or other concerns.

If this is a couple or family situation (more than one person is to be coming to sessions), Bill usually has the consultation with each person—but at separate times. If you have a strong preference for meeting in person or over video, it is also possible to arrange that. A phone call is simpler and works well for 98% of clients.

The basic idea for the consultation is for Bill to assess your situation, for you to get your questions answered, and for each of us to assess if we’re a good match to work together. Bill allots up to a total of 30 minutes of free time—whether that be time via phone or e-mail, or in person.

The consultation is not a place to vent all your concerns and complaints. Although most people have a need to get some things off their chest, there is time for that in our sessions. The consultation is about gathering some facts and answering questions.

If we find we need more than 30 minutes total with all parties to discover if we’re a good match, Bill charges a reduced rate of $1 a minute for the extra time. Sometimes we may need an extra 30 minutes to an hour to assess what we’re going to be doing as a first step.

 

Towards the end of the consultation, Bill will explain the general range of fees. Fees are based on the complexity of your situation and whether more than one person is in session at the same time. After the initial individual sessions, Bill will be able to assess the complexity of your situation and will discuss the fees for your situation. In general, the fees are $90 an hour for individual work, and $125 an hour for more than one person in session at the same time.

 

Bill’s work is unique and his results tend to be quicker than most. If you compare professionals primarily based on fees—not on projected results and skill level—you may make a choice that doesn’t serve you.

 

All interactions in the consultation are strictly confidential. Anything that you don’t want Bill to pass on to the other persons who will be coming into session will be kept confidential. You decide when you’re ready to provide those communications.

 

Disclaimer, primarily for couples and families: Although quick and dramatic results are common, some situations require a more methodical unraveling.
