Answering FREQUENTLY asked questions

Who is this for

This is for any person or system that is stuck in some way, whether emotionally, mentally, relationally or professionally.

Who is this not for

This service is not for anyone with safety concerns in their life. NOT for ppl targeting major mental health conditions ie; personality D/O, OCD, ADD, ADHD, PMDD, PPD and Bipolar disorders (However, if these are well managed, we can work on other ventures unrelated). Also not for anyone who has been hospitalized for mental health reasons in the last 5 years). This is not traditional mental healthcare.

Are meetings virtual or in person?

Phone, video and in person (In Boston) are available. We are also available for in-person satellite location meetings (Please Inquire.) 

Do I need anything for meetings? 

This is totally up to you, although we encourage a pen and paper or however you take notes. If using a computer, we encourage closing all other windows and turning to airplane mode to eliminate distractions.

Is this confidential?

Yes, completely. BH Alchemy adheres to HIPPA regulations as a client courtesy. If we see you out in the world, although my face may register recognition,  we will not greet you.

How many meetings will I need?

This will be totally dependent on the body of  work we are looking at, as well as your pathway selection. Maybe one session is enough, maybe 12. This will be guided by the feedback loop (you). There is no requirement on this end. We may also adjust as needed. Additionally people are absolutely welcome to come back as new bodies of work emerge in their lives.

How is this different than traditional psychotherapy? 

BH Alchemy is more concise, focused, intentional and intuitive. It takes less time.  We are creating custom made applications for each client  We will have a very clear body of work that we are doing and no more.  We will not diagnose what is being presented as a mental health disorder There will be a clear beginning and end.  There is minimal to no background taking, only as relevant or as you would like to share.   We can “meet” no matter where either of us are located geographically.  Our conceptualization of feelings is totally different in this space. We approach feelings as informants/messengers. We are not thinking in terms of symptomology and diagnosis, but in feedback loops and information. It's all valuable.  Our meeting times may vary between 30,60, 90, and 120 minutes We do not meet weekly unless it makes sense.

Cancellation Policy?

24 Hours.

What if I’m late? 

If you are more than 15 minutes late we will cancel the session. Otherwise we will work with the remaining time as scheduled.
