A little clarity
before you begin.
Explore common questions about the approach, services, and practical details.
What working together can look like.
What does neuroaffirming mean?
It means support starts with your needs, communication style, context, and capacity. ADHD and autism are not defects to erase. The work can address real difficulties while respecting your identity.
Does neuroaffirming care still address problems?
Yes. The work can address anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, executive-function challenges, relationships, and emotional distress. Goals and structure can be part of care; appearing more neurotypical is not the aim.
Do I need to choose a service before reaching out?
No. A consultation is a place to discuss your needs and explore the differences between counseling, music therapy, and coaching.
Can counseling include practical strategies?
Yes. Counseling can include routines, planning, and executive-function supports while also addressing mental health, emotional distress, identity, and relationships.
Do I need musical experience for music therapy?
No musical training or performance ability is required. Music therapy is a clinical process adapted to your preferences and goals.
Is coaching therapy?
No. Coaching is practical and goal-focused. It does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions and does not replace psychotherapy when treatment is needed.
Sessions, fees, and getting started.
How much are sessions?
A 60-minute session is $230, a 90-minute session is $345, and a 120-minute session is $460. During the consultation, Jared can help you discuss the length and service that fit your needs.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. The initial 20-minute consultation is free. It is a chance to ask questions and explore fit.
Can I choose a longer session?
Extended sessions of 90 or 120 minutes can be discussed with Jared. The length of a session should fit the work you plan to do together.
How do I ask about insurance or payment?
Contact Jared before scheduling to discuss insurance, reimbursement, payment arrangements, and cancellation terms. Those details should be clear before you begin.
Where can I receive virtual sessions?
Virtual therapy is offered in California and Massachusetts. Please share where you will be located during sessions so Jared can confirm service availability. Coaching availability can also be discussed during the consultation.
Still have a question?
You’re welcome to ask. A consultation is a chance to talk through what matters to you before deciding on a next step.
