Sometimes we just need someone to listen…
Some topics are difficult to talk about with the people we are close to, or perhaps you don’t feel heard or validated by those around you.
As a professional listener, I am not a coach, counselor or therapist. I am someone you can confidentially talk to who will listen without judgement. Talking with a listener can help you release pent up feelings, frustrations and concerns without worry about how you will be perceived or how your feelings may impact those you care about.
While listening, I don’t offer advice or recomend actions unless directly asked my opinion. I can provide referrals for further support services, or factual information about the topic, but you are in control of the discussion at all times. Confidentiality and a nonjudgemental ear are the conerstones of what I offfer.
My experience working with young families during the child bearing years makes me an exceptionally qualified listener on all topics related to pregnancy, birth, birth trauma, newborns, postpartum, parenting issues, fertility, and perinatal bereavement.
Sessions are generally done via video chat or phone (without video) if that is more comfortable. In some instances in-person services are available. These sessions are for you, and there is no judgement about how you show up. Pajamas, wet hair, tears, grabbing a meal, dogs and kids, are all very common for the population I am serving. Come as you are/can.
Professional listening is not a substitute for clinical care.
Cost
Cost for Gentle Listening is $50/50 minutes.
Scheduled in advance and prepaid. Phone or video chat. (your preference) Gentle Listening sessions may be rescheduled at no charge up to 24 hours before session time. With less than 24 hours notice, you will receive a 50% credit toward a rescheduled session. Please understand that I cannot usually fill a session that has been cancelled last minute, so we are both sharing the cost.
