If This Is You
- You hold a high-responsibility or high-visibility role.
- Privacy and discretion are non-negotiable.
- Your calendar doesn't fit a standard weekday slot.
- You want support between sessions, not only during them.
- You value efficiency and real depth.
- You would rather meet at home or a private location.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
What Concierge Counseling Means
Standard therapy fits you into the practice’s calendar. Concierge counseling builds the practice around yours: more scheduling options, a direct line to me and sessions where you are most comfortable, with the same licensed, confidential care at the center.
What Your Access Includes
Flexible, priority scheduling
More booking options, including select evening and weekend times, plus longer sessions when you need them.
Direct access
Reach me between sessions by call or text when something comes up.
In-home and private sessions
Meet at your home or another private location for maximum privacy and convenience.
Care shaped around your goals
Burnout and chronic stress, anxiety, relationships, life transitions, trauma (including EMDR) and a resilient high-performance mindset.

Private, Clear and Simple
Priced by consultation: retainer, intensive package or premium session access. Private pay, so nothing goes on an insurance record. Superbills, HSA and FSA welcome. See fees and insurance.
For clients who cannot be seen in a waiting room, John's concierge model is the reason they finally get help.
Questions About Concierge Care
Who is concierge counseling a good fit for?
Clients in high-responsibility or high-visibility roles who prioritize privacy, value efficiency and still want the depth of a relationship-based approach.
What does concierge care include?
Priority scheduling with select evening and weekend times, longer sessions when you need them, call or text access between sessions, and sessions at your home, a private location, the office or online.
What does it cost?
It depends on the format you choose, such as a monthly retainer, an intensive package or premium session access. You will review options during your consultation.
How quickly do you respond between sessions?
Response times are agreed as part of your plan. Between-session contact is not an emergency service; in a crisis, call or text 988 or call 911.
Where do sessions happen?
At your home, a private location, the Brentwood office or by secure video, whichever suits your week.
Is concierge care still confidential?
Yes. It is private pay with no insurance involvement, so nothing goes on an insurance record.
Why is there a limit on concierge clients?
Direct access only works when it is real. Keeping the number small means I can respond and schedule the way the plan promises.
