How is Philosophical Consulting not the same as psychotherapy?
The difference between philosophical consulting and psychotherapy is that I will not be able to do the deep work that is necessary in treating mental diagnoses per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 within the context of this professional philosophical consulting relationship. Being that I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I am aware when you are experiencing something that needs the help of a professional mental health provider. I will bring this to your attention and refer you to a therapist in your local area, to make sure you receive the care you are needing. You may see your therapist in conjunction with me depending on the situation.

Reading writing outside the session time:
Many of my clients who meet with me for philosophical consulting are working on writing projects, or have already written work that they feel would enhance my understanding of them, their craft, and our work as a whole.
I schedule time in my work calendar hours to read your writing outside of our zoom meetings. This allows for me to dedicate time, presence, and attention to your work. While reading I make comments, note any suggestions/thoughts that arise, while considering the work we are doing together. I do not speed read, I am not an extremely fast reader, though I will try to cover as much reading as I can during the allotted time.
I will review all my thoughts and notations with you in our next zoom meeting.
Reading your writing- $150 per hour
I would love to read your work regardless, though this is not just casual reading. I read your work with the same level of care, thought, and presence I would offer as if I was sitting with you. Outside my calendar working hours, I am being intentional with my time to execute my own writing/reading projects, to spend time with friends/family, get outside away from screens, dance, and practice vinyasa.
