The one thing you can’t out-work.

Private, self-pay counseling and coaching for high achieving individuals. Your coach is a licensed therapist.

  • Your coach is a licensed therapist. Not a certificate from a weekend course.
  • The first 15–20 minutes are free. A short consult online or by phone, to see whether the fit is there.
  • $200 USD per session. 50–60 minute sessions. Out-of-network by choice, so no diagnosis on file and no session limits.
  • Online or in person, evenings and early mornings. Built around your schedule.

Step 1 of 5

What should we call you?

First name is enough for now.

What state are you in?

It decides whether this is counseling or coaching. Both are him.

What’s bringing you in?

Closest one. Nothing here is binding.

When can you actually talk?

Pick every window that works — it decides which times he offers you.

Where should we reach you?

Last step. Nothing is shared with an insurer or an employer.

Not for emergencies — if you’re in crisis, call or text 988.

Good. Now pick your consult.

Start with the free 15–20 minute consult. Times below are his real availability, and whatever you pick reaches him with your answers already attached.

Booking runs in his practice software — private and HIPAA-compliant.

Who this is for

People who are good at everything except sitting with this.

High achieving individuals. You already solve problems for a living — that's exactly why this one is annoying. It doesn't respond to the tools that made you successful.

Counseling or coaching

Same clinician. The label depends on where you sit.

Licensure is a state line, not a measure of skill. The honest version, so nobody's surprised at intake.

IN MICHIGAN

Counseling, under a clinical license

Full scope of practice. Still self-pay — insurance is never billed, so nothing reaches a carrier.

EVERYWHERE ELSE

Coaching, from a licensed therapist

Same person, same training, same method — delivered as coaching rather than therapy. No diagnosis, no clinical record. Most of what high achieving individuals need from this work sits comfortably on that side of the line.

How it works

Short engagements. Specific problems.

Solution-focused work, not open-ended processing. Most people come in with something concrete and leave when it's handled.

01

A free consult, 15–20 minutes

Online over Teams, or a phone call. No charge and no obligation — it exists to find out whether you two are a good fit before anyone books anything.

02

First session

50–60 minutes, online or in person. You describe the problem; you leave with a working definition of it and something to do before the next one.

03

Then as needed

Most clients see results in the first four or five sessions and finish inside three to four months. No minimum commitment and no package to buy.

The rate

Self-pay, on purpose.

Insurance requires a billable diagnosis and gives a claims processor a say in how long you're allowed to work on your own life. For people in licensed professions and under contract, that's not a small detail.

$200 USD per session · 50–60 minutes
  • No diagnostic code, ever
  • No records released to a carrier or employer
  • No session caps and no authorizations
  • No packages, retainers, or minimum terms
  • The first 15–20 minute consult costs nothing
  • Superbill or monthly statement on request for out-of-network reimbursement

Booking

Four questions, then his calendar.

The questions take about thirty seconds and decide which times he offers you. What you book first is the free 15–20 minute consult — and if you'd rather skip the questions, you can go straight to the calendar.

Book the free consult

Before you ask

Fair questions.

What happens on the free consult?

Fifteen to twenty minutes, online over Teams or on the phone. You say what's going on, he tells you whether he's the right person for it. No charge, and nothing is booked until you want it to be.

Is this therapy or coaching?

In Michigan, counseling under a clinical license. Outside Michigan, coaching — delivered by someone who holds that license and was trained as a therapist. The method doesn't change; the legal framing does.

Will any of this reach my licensing board, employer, or malpractice carrier?

No. There's no insurance claim, so there's no diagnostic code and no third party receiving records. Records are released only if you request it in writing, or in the narrow circumstances every clinician is legally required to act on.

Do you take insurance?

Metanoia is an out-of-network provider and does not participate with insurance companies. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be entitled to partial or full reimbursement depending on your plan.

Metanoia can provide a superbill or invoice to submit to your insurer, and a monthly statement on request with the information needed for reimbursement.

The reason for staying out of network is confidentiality — once a claim is submitted, control over sensitive client information goes with it. Insurers also generally require a diagnosis before a provider can be reimbursed, and a diagnosis on file carries long-term implications worth thinking about, particularly for high achieving professionals.

Is it in person or online?

Both. Online is what makes evenings and early mornings possible; in person is available if you'd rather be in the room.

How many sessions is this going to take?

That depends on you. Most clients see results in the first four or five sessions and are finished with their treatment in three to four months.

Do my spouse and I both need to be there?

That's up to you — but please mention it on the form so we can schedule accordingly.

Waiting for it to resolve on its own hasn't worked yet.

Fifteen minutes, no charge, and you'll know whether this is worth your time.
