It’s not uncommon to feel discomfort when working with a new therapist for the first time or uncertain about starting a therapeutic agenda. I do want to reassure you and alleviate your anxiety so I put together a list of common questions about working with a relationship therapist.
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments and want to hear from me directly, reach out to me and I can address each and every question you have. My goal is to make this process as comfortable as possible — so you can manage the conflicts in your life, make better choices, and cultivate satisfying relationships.
-
How soon can we meet?Once you fill out the contact form, pay for the session, and submit your New Client Forms, you’ll get a call from me by the end of the day. Or within 24 hours if it’s an after-hours or late night request.
-
Do I have to be an existing client to schedule an on-demand therapy session?No, you don’t have to be an existing client. With on-demand therapy, it’s typical for me to see a mix of existing and new clients — because this type of therapy is for anyone going through an emotional or relationship crisis. But if you are a new client, you’ll be required to submit the New Client Forms before the start of our session.
-
How much does Doug-on-Demand cost?Each session costs $225 for up to 90 minutes of time to work with me. I understand how on-demand access to a sex, couples, and relationship therapist can be a powerful and effective tool — especially during emotional crises. So I make it easy and clear to work with me by charging a flat, upfront rate. Once you fill out the contact form, you’ll be directed to the payment page, where all major credit cards are accepted.
-
Do you accept insurance for on-demand sessions?No, I don’t accept insurance for these sessions.
-
Will our on-demand therapy session be in-person?No, all sessions will take place virtually or when other arrangements have been made. When you fill out your basic information on the contact form, please make sure to include a valid phone number. This will be the number I’ll call to start our session together.
-
Do I have to live in Texas, Louisiana, or Colorado to use this service?Yes, I’m licensed to treat clients only in these states.
-
What if I’m experiencing a medical emergency?If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please dial 911 immediately.
“Ask questions. Be honest. Remove ego. Be curious. Level up. Doug is brilliant at helping shed layers of bullshit from my life; lies I’ve been telling myself for decades about [my decisions] or the conditioning I’ve experienced. Everything is a choice, and how can I actively live my life without being pushed around by things outside of my control?”
