FAQs

1. How is coaching different from traditional therapy?

Traditional therapy is often shaped by insurance requirements and rigid structures. Sessions are limited, approaches are standardized, and the focus can lean more toward symptom management than deep transformation. My work steps outside of those constraints to offer something more expansive, flexible, and personal.

2. How is this different from modern medical and wellness care?

Most medical and wellness models are built on efficiency and preset protocols. You’re often treated as a diagnosis or case rather than a whole person. Concierge Coaching & Therapy flips that—every part of the process is tailored to you: your story, your pace, your goals, and your healing journey.

3. What does working outside the insurance model make possible?

It allows me to offer holistic, integrative, and alternative healing approaches without restriction. We can weave together psychoeducation, trauma-informed care, spiritual practices, and complementary modalities in ways that are fully aligned with you. No box-checking, no clock-watching—just care designed to meet you deeply where you are.

4. What does “going deeper” actually mean here?

Instead of stopping at symptom relief or surface-level change, we work toward integration and transformation. This means tending to the root, not just the branches—unwinding old patterns, reclaiming your clarity, and building practices that align your inner life with the future you’re creating.

5. What makes Hope a high-level, set-apart coach and therapist?

I bring over a decade of experience as a practicing, premium trauma therapist, and I’ve built my own thriving therapy practice (www.Psychsomatica.com), a nonprofit (www.Humorforhope.com), and several businesses (TheTherapeuticImprovInstitute.com) from the ground up. I’ve worked in hospitals, level 1 trauma centers, refugee camps, in functional medicine clinics, and have trained with Indigenous elders in plant medicine practices for over a decade. My background allows me to bridge the worlds of deep emotional healing, grounded business wisdom, and spiritual growth with integrity and precision.

My work moves beyond traditional systems. I combine evidence-based therapy, somatic and alternative healing modalities, and spiritual guidance into a highly customized, concierge-level experience. Each client receives individualized care that honors their story, nervous system, and vision for their life.

What sets this work apart is the presence and depth it offers. It’s not formulaic or surface-level—it’s relational, intuitive, and transformational. This is care designed for those ready to go deeper and live more fully aligned, integrated, and free.

6. What is the investment?

This work is not a quick fix—it’s a high-touch, deeply personalized process. Investment reflects the level of care, access, and intentional energy poured into your journey. Because every engagement is customized, rates vary depending on the depth and structure of the work we design together.

Think of it less as a cost and more as an investment in building a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and sustainable. If you’re ready to explore this path, we’ll discuss the best structure for your needs during an initial consultation.
