Change Begins with Exploration of Self and Life
It is both my honor and privilege to be a part of your journey.
You are ready to take the first step. This part is super easy—begin by scheduling your free video consultation. Your appointment request gets sent directly to me. Once I confirm our appointment, I will email you a brief questionnaire so that I can learn more about your current challenges and what you are hoping to get out of therapy.
Your free video consultation is an opportunity to determine if we would be a good fit. On the call, I’ll ask more in-depth questions, tell you more about what it’s like to work with me, and answer any questions you might have.
If we feel like it’s a good fit, we will schedule an initial intake appointment. You will then have access to an online, confidential client portal where you can easily and conveniently complete treatment paperwork, change or schedule new appointments, and securely message me with any questions or needs.
The work that we do together will start with where you are. We will explore what has been going on in your life that brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your goals and I will personalize therapy to fit your unique needs. Along the way, I will show you unconditional positive regard and compassion, allow you to envision your own path forward, and let you fly out of the nest, returning only when needing a reminder of who you are. If you are game, so am I.

In-person and Online Rates
Video Consultation
15 minutes/Free
Individual Counseling
60 minutes/$140 or 90 minutes/$210
Couples, Family, Business Partners Counseling

Relational therapy sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes, twice a month. This extended time frame allows for a deeper exploration of relational dynamics and significant discussions, insights, and skill development. Additionally, having sessions twice monthly creates an opportunity for skill practice in your daily lives, facilitating personal and relational growth and strengthening connections between sessions. However, in order to provide flexible options for your care, sessions may be reduced to 60 minutes at a rate of $165 upon request and when appropriate for your care plan, based on availability.
Payment
My counseling services are self-pay. Payment is due at the time of service, and I accept cash, check, and all major credit cards.
scholarships
I am able to offer scholarships; financial support to aid those wanting to pursue their study of self and life. Currently, all scholarships have been awarded. If you would like to be put on my scholarship wait list, please feel free to email me at lisarivers@counselingmail.com.
Commitment to therapy
Once we choose your session frequency, day, and time, your sessions will be specifically reserved for you until availability changes, you have met your treatment goals, or you are ready to discontinue therapy. If you need to reschedule your session, you may do so, dependent on availability, within a three-week window of your original appointment (the week prior to, the week of, or the week after your original session). Please note that rescheduling an appointment within the three week window will not change the frequency, day, and time of your regularly scheduled appointments. Late cancellations with less than 24 hour notice, no shows, and missed appointments will be charged the full session fee.
