Roots and Realms FAQ
What is the difference between Holistic Mentorship Services and Psychotherapy?
Holistic Mentorship Services are ideal for those who want an open approach to self exploration, identity, life direction, and wellness. They are best suited for those who feel relatively good in their day to day life, but have specific areas they would like to see change or make progress in. Psychotherapy on the other hand is offered through a mental health model where there are clearly defined adverse symptoms impacting one's daily life and which are addressed using specific interventions and measurable outcomes. While I approach all of my services with a relational and holistic lens, the way I conceptualize and track progress is completely different.
What if I don't know what service is best for me?
No problem! Feel free to schedule a free consultation so we discuss more or use this short questionnaire as a guide. Service Distinction Questionnaire: ⸻ 1. Main Reason for Seeking Support A. I want help with mental health symptoms such as excessive worry, depressed mood, relationship issues, grief, and more. B. I want guidance with personal growth, meaning, spirituality, or integration of experiences. ⸻ 2. Daily Functioning A. My struggles interfere significantly with my work, relationships, sleep, or daily life. B. I’m functioning okay, but I want to go deeper into growth, clarity, or purpose. ⸻ 3. Mental Health & Safety A. I have been diagnosed with a mental health condition or am currently struggling with overwhelming emotions and need help regulating them. B. I feel generally stable and safe, though I may have ups and downs like anyone. ⸻ 4. Preferred Approach A. I want structured treatment with goals and measurable progress. B. I want open-ended mentorship, exploration, and guidance for a broad intention that is non-clinical. ⸻ 5. Integration & Spiritual Work A. I am looking primarily for help with symptom relief and coping strategies. B. I am interested in integrating psychedelic or transformative experiences, or deepening my connection with myself and my spirituality. If you answered mostly A's than you are better suited for Psychotherapy services. If you answered mostly B's then you would be a great fit for my Holistic Mentorship Services. If it is a mix of both than it is probably best to only stick with Psychotherapy to manage any possible adverse symptoms.
What is your cancellation policy?
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy which means that those who cancel within 24 hours of their appointment are required to pay the full session fee out of pocket. Late cancellations can be rescheduled for a $25 fee as long as the request for a new appointment is made within 24 hours of the missed appointment. Please feel free to read the client service agreement or practice polices form provided during your intake for more information.
How do I pay?
Clients in Australia can direct deposit using the invoice information provided at the end of sessions. American clients can pay via credit card and/or autopay.
Do you accept insurance?
I am not accepting Insurance at this time, however I do have a limited number of sliding scale options for those who are eligible.
