WHAT TO EXPECT

our work together

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Your first and second session are a bit discounted: in the first session, we will go over a Safety Protocol to ensure that we’re an appropriate fit to work together, and so that I can assist you in finding additional help if needed. The second session involves a more detailed client intake form so I can better understand your history and your intentions for moving forward. After these first two sessions, there is no agenda; I will meet you where you are and we will use an Internal Family Systems (IFS) - informed approach to help you bring healing energy to any conflicts you’re experiencing internally or externally.

    You can read more about Internal Family Systems here.

  • My fees are as follows:

    ·      $120 for each of the first and second 60-minute appointment, as a one-on-one session
    ·      $140 per session for a 60-minute, one-on-one session thereafter
    ·      $250 for a five-week group course
    ·      $0 for monthly Free Discussion Circles

    If these fees are inaccessible to you but you are interested in working together, please contact me at info@patriceriley.com and we can discuss whether there is an amount that is manageable for both of us.

  • ·      If you are unable to attend a session, please let me know by twenty-four (24) hours before the appointment start time. If we are unable to reach an alternative time, I will process your refund within thirty (30) days

    ·      If you choose to cancel an appointment by twenty-four (24) hours before the appointment start time and do not reschedule, I will process your full refund within thirty (30) days

    ·      If you register for a multi-session workshop, seminar, or paid class and decide not to continue to attend after attending the initial session, you will not be entitled to a refund. If a refund is given, it will be at my sole discretion, and it will be pro-rated according to the number of sessions remaining minus any fees involved with the refund

    ·      Please adhere to the "Guidelines for Safe & Neuro-Affirming Spaces" that you’ll agree to when signing up.

You can expect

In our coaching relationship, you’ll find:

  • A trauma-informed space that prioritizes your safety and autonomy

  • Recognition of the intersecting impacts of neurodivergence, trauma, and if relevant, cultural displacement

  • Respect for your pace and boundaries

  • Support in reconnecting with aspects of identity and heritage that bring healing

What won’t happen

You will not experience:

  • Any kind of assessment or mental health diagnosis

  • Crisis intervention, though I can help you develop a clear plan for accessing emergency services

  • Deep psychological analysis; our work will focus on the present and the future. If you need specific support for trauma processing, I can help you connect you with therapists who understand your experiences.
