These are the questions I hear most often.
If yours isn’t here, just ask – that’s what the consultation is for.
Where is your office located?
My office is at:
7710 N. Union Blvd., Suite 100C
Colorado Springs, CO 80920
I am on the corner of N. Union Boulevard and Zephyr Drive, on the left, just north of VASA Fitness.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. I see couples and individual adults virtually as well as in person. I especially enjoy virtual sessions from home, because my dogs Cookie and Candi are usually asleep at my feet under the desk.
How do I get started?
Call or email me to set up a free 15-minute consultation so you can experience what it would be like if we worked together. You can reach me at (719) 357-7275 or pikespeakchristiancounseling@gmail.com.
What is a free initial phone consultation?
It’s a no-cost 15-minute call where we get a feel for whether I’m the right fit for what you’re working on. You can ask questions about my approach, share a little about what’s bringing you in, and decide whether you want to schedule a first full session.
How long is a typical session?
Therapy sessions are scheduled for 55 minutes.
Who do you work with?
My primary focus is couples and individuals. Sometimes couples work evolves into family therapy when parenting issues turn out to be a major piece of what the couple is navigating together.
Anything else you’d like clients to know?
If you’ve been thinking about reaching out for a while, this is a good week to do it. The hardest part is the first phone call, and it’s only fifteen minutes long.
What is your educational background?
I have a BS in Industrial Technology, an MS in Information Technology, a Masters in Special Education, and a Masters in Clinical Social Work.
Are you licensed?
My Colorado licenses include Licensed Clinical Social Work, Special Education Teacher, and School Administration.
Is your furniture comfortable?
In the office you have a choice of a sofa or chairs. And yes, they’re quite comfortable.
Do I have to lie on a couch?
You decide if you sit or lie. Many of my teenage clients go prone while talking! On a rare occasion, some have nodded off in a session.
Should I wear waterproof mascara?
I must admit I have never worn waterproof mascara, but there is a good amount of tears – of joy and pain. An ample supply of tissues is available in a variety of colors.
Am I allowed to ask personal questions?
Through the course of time and therapy, we develop a very professional, but friendly relationship that lends itself to knowing each other quite well.
Cats or dogs?
For sure, dogs! But through the years we have had cats and dogs and rabbits and snakes and chickens and bees.
You don't have to keep living in the same cycle of conflict, distance, or frustration. Start your journey to an intimate marriage and the home you deserve.
