Why should I choose your practice?
We believe that therapy should be accessible and translatable to the way one dwells. Bringing psychotherapy into the home gives us the opportunity to help clients shape for the better an environment that often profoundly influences feelings of safety, comfort, and love. We aim to collaborate with clients, to draw upon their inherent resilience and resources and let go of what is in their way, in real time, in the environment in which they experience it. Together we can rebuild or redesign the emotional foundation of the home and cultivate new ways to relate to one another.
Our multidisciplinary team of clinical experts listen to clients’ stories and use their spaces to develop out-of-the-box, creative, interventions for transformative change. With extensive experience working outside of an office setting, our clinicians are flexible and familiar with pivoting their service provision from in-person (at home or outdoors) to teletherapy based on circumstances and client needs.
How does payment work at your practice?
Dwellness clients are billed following their initial consultation and then monthly (at a minimum). Dwellness accepts payment through credit card, Zelle, or check.
