Don’t go it alone!
The Fifty-Minute Hour
We’d like to help you navigate through the challenges of being a modern therapist. We know how hard it can be to sort through things and we don’t want you to feel alone in this.
Schedule time with either Curt or Katie to get your burning questions answered or to start some strategic thinking about the next steps in your career as a therapist. This time is completely individualized to what you want to explore, usually with specific action steps or plans that you can implement right away. We’re excited to connect with you one on one! All sessions will be performed via video or phone conference.
