The Briefing
Apply Privately

Apply for a Private Fit Consultation

A carefully considered first step — reviewed personally, designed for those who are serious about long-term, bespoke care.

How the Process Works

Applications are not processed automatically. Every submission is read personally and evaluated for fit before any next step is offered. This is intentional — the consultation is not a product to be purchased on demand, but an invitation extended when alignment is clear.

01

Submit Your Application

Complete the form below with honesty and care. There are no right answers — only the ones that help us understand where you are and what you are looking for.

02

Personal Review Within Three Business Days

Your application is read by a person, not a system. If there is a meaningful basis for proceeding, you will receive a private, individualized link to schedule and complete payment.

03

The Fit Consultation Takes Place

A focused, substantive session — held under clinical confidence — that functions simultaneously as a meaningful first formulation and a mutual assessment of fit for the annual membership.

04

Invitation to Annual Membership

The consultation is required before any invitation into the annual membership is extended. It is the only path in. If membership is the right next step, it will be offered at the close of the consultation.

Consultation Investment

$2,500

Starting Fee

For focused, defined scope engagements

$5,000

Extended Scope

For more complex or layered presentations

The fee is determined by scope and is confirmed before scheduling. It is not a deposit — it is the full cost of the consultation itself, which stands as a meaningful piece of work regardless of what follows.

What to Expect — and What This Is Not

Clarity about scope protects your time and ours. Please read the following carefully before applying.

What Is in Scope

A Genuine First Formulation

The consultation is clinical work. We will develop a coherent, individualized understanding of your history, your current situation, and what meaningful support might look like for you specifically.

Honest Fit Assessment

We will assess together whether the annual membership — its structure, its pace, its demands — is genuinely suited to your needs and circumstances at this time. This is a two-way evaluation.

A Clear Path Forward

Whether or not membership follows, you will leave the consultation with a clear picture of what we found, what we recommend, and what your options are.

What Is Not in Scope

Emergency or Crisis Care

This practice does not provide emergency services, crisis intervention, or acute psychiatric care. If you are in crisis, please use the resources listed at the bottom of this page. Your safety comes first.

Open-Ended Intake

The consultation is bounded and purposeful. It is not an open intake session, a trial period, or a free-form exploration without structure. It has a defined beginning, middle, and end.

Guaranteed Membership Offer

Completing the consultation does not guarantee an invitation to membership. If the fit is not right, we will say so clearly and, where possible, offer a thoughtful referral.

Why the Consultation Is Paid

The consultation fee reflects the reality that substantive clinical work begins the moment we sit down together. A paid consultation is not a gatekeeping mechanism — it is an acknowledgment that your time and ours carry weight, and that the work we do together in that session has genuine value independent of what follows.

Real Work, Not a Sales Call

You receive a formulation — a clinically grounded account of your situation — not a pitch for services.

Mutual Seriousness

The fee signals that both parties are entering the conversation with genuine intent. It filters for readiness, not wealth.

Protected Time and Attention

Paid consultations receive the full preparation, documentation, and follow-through that serious clinical work requires.

From Consultation to Membership

The annual membership is a sustained, high-touch engagement — not a subscription to sessions, but a structured relationship with defined rhythms, access, and accountability. The consultation is the only entry point because it is the only way to know, with confidence, that the membership will serve you well. If it will, the invitation follows naturally. If it will not, we will tell you honestly and help you find what will.
