Stuck? Get a plan in just one session!

Introducing: The Single-Session Consultation (SSC)

Waiting for therapy can be hard.  In this one-time, brief consultation, we help you tackle a specific challenge and leave with a clear plan of what to do next. 

Is this right for me? This service is ideal if you are:

  • On a waitlist for therapy, but need a plan right now.
  • Facing a specific decision (job, relationship, school).
  • Feeling stuck with a certain behavior, conflict, or stressor.
  • Too busy for weekly sessions, but need professional insight.

"Research shows meaningful improvements can happen in just one session."

What is a single-session consultation (SSC)

Single-session interventions (SSI) are specific, structured programs that intentionally involve just one visit with a counselor.  The SSC, a type of SSI, uses a solution-focused brief therapy-based intervention to identify a modifiable challenge and develop a personalized action plan to make improvements in one visit.  

What kinds of problems can be address during a session?

The SCC is an evidence-based, flexible program that directly addresses the need to support people when they seek care, rather than weeks to months later, regardless of their specific clinical needs.  It takes less than 60 minutes!

What kind of evidence is there with the SSC?

Details about academic research on the SCC can be found at "The Lab for Scalable Mental Health" Northwestern University  They have demonstrated that the SSC helped reduce hopelessness, anxiety, distress, and improve agency (the belief that you have control over some aspect of your life) among people on waiting-lists for treatment.

How much does it cost?

Single-Session Consultations are private pay only at $100 for up to an hour appointment.  SSCs  are not reimbursable by insurance, as no diagnosis will be provided.
