Transitions Individual & Couple’s Counseling and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: Harrisonburg, Virginia — Make Changes that Last

I am in my late-forties and have been counseling in Harrisonburg since 2008. I use my understanding of personality types to tailor counseling to your specific needs. And my relational approach provides a safe context for you to work through the places you are stuck and to thus become more fully yourself.

Compassionate & Hopeful Christian Counseling

Coming from a Christian perspective, I have deep compassion for the ways that growth can be difficult and painful at times, and also great hope for each person’s innate ability to change. Additionally I am able to help you to make sense of spiritual aspects of your life (if that is something you wish to incorporate). I am informed by my Christian faith (especially the compassionate life of Jesus), and I also respect others’ views. Clients from all faith and non-faith backgrounds are welcome. The discussion of spiritual topics is always at the discretion of each client.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Using Ketamine

I always aim to facilitate deep, lasting change in all of the counseling I provide. It is incredibly discouraging to feel like we are perpetually stuck, repeating the same patterns over and over. For those that are interested, Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy is a unique option, which when used wisely, can greatly aid in psychological, spiritual and relational growth and healing. Psychedelics temporarily loosen the structures of the mind, enabling you to face and do more difficult work, which then, if properly integrated in subsequent sessions, can have positive, lasting effects. With the legal, safe Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) I offer here at Transitions I help clients through the entire process: preparing for their KAP dosing session; guiding and assisting during their session; and solidifying changes through integration sessions.

My counseling fee for New Clients ▦ is a sliding-scale ($320 to $180), and the first session is half-price. I do not accept insurance, but I can provide monthly statements if you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance carrier. Note that using health insurance (directly or indirectly) for counseling requires that you meet the criteria for a mental health diagnosis, which then becomes a permanent part of your medical record. Please explore the FAQ for more details on health insurance reimbursement and alternatives to using health insurance for counseling (e.g., HSAs, FSAs, tax deductions, etc.).

Methods of Payment: I accept Cash, Check or Online Payment (via Venmo, Zelle, etc.). I do not accept credit cards. Consult the FAQ for more details.
