Schedule a Free Consultation

I offer a 20 minute Zoom or phone consultation to all prospective clients. During this time we will talk about your goals and my work so that you can assess whether working together feels right.

Email me at sam@sambernier.com in order to schedule.

Logistics

I meet with clients weekly or every other week.  Sessions are 50 minutes long (or 75 minutes for couples) and happen in my Santa Rosa office, by ZOOM, or by telephone.

Transforming old patterns and finding new pathways into the life we want takes consistent practice, and mindful attention over time.  I work with most clients for between three months and a year.  This period of time ensures that the presenting pattern is adequately processed, and a new way of being is thoroughly installed and integrated into day-to-day life.  

Our work together is complete when you feel well established in a new way of being yourself and relating to the world.

Fee

I believe therapy should be financially accessible to everyone who seeks it. My full fee is $250 for a 50 minute session or $375 for 75 minutes. Clients paying my full fee help to balance my practice so that a percentage of the people I serve can be lower income clients and people who do non-profit/community service work. If you cannot afford my full fee please inquire about the availability of lower fee spots.
