My standard rate for Surrogate Partner Therapy is $200/hour.
Format #1: Meeting regularly in the Bay Area.
In this format, we would meet for 2-4 hours per session, either once or twice a month. Ideally, we would work together until you, your therapist, and I felt your therapeutic goals had been met.
Format #2: Meeting for an intensive.
In this format, we would meet for 5-8 days straight, 4 hours/day (with a half-hour break in the middle). I am available for intensives in the Bay Area, and depending on my schedule, I might also be able to travel to you. If I am traveling to you, you would be responsible for my accommodations and travel expenses.
Here is a general outline of the SPT process:
Step 1: Fill out my Surrogate Partner Therapy intake form. I will email you upon receipt.
Step 2: I will have a consultation phone call with your therapist, and if we decide to move forward, I will add you to my waitlist.
Step 3: Once I have availability in my schedule, I will email you and your therapist. We will schedule an initial triadic session (one hour over Zoom).
Step 4: Our initial triadic call will allow us to get to know each other and clarify our goals and intentions.
Step 5: You and I will meet every other week or for an intensive. During this time, you will check in with your therapist between each session with me. Your therapist and I will also connect between each session.
Step 6: Once we feel we have accomplished our goals or we have completed our intensive, we will make a collective decision to end Surrogate Partner Therapy. This could involve a final triadic call and/or a closure ritual.
It is my hope that you will continue to work with your therapist to process, integrate, and apply your SPT learnings in your dating life and future relationships!
