Individual Therapy and Coaching with Relate - Free Consultation
Take the First Step Toward More Meaning & Well‑Being
While we’re known for transformative couples therapy, many life challenges arise beyond relationship dynamics. Whether you’re seeking clarity around self‑identity, emotional regulation, anxiety, grief, or life transitions, individual support can help you move forward.
What To Expect With Your Free Consultation
1.Request a 20‑Minute Zoom Intro Session
Submit our simple intake form, we’ll review your information and we'll send you a link to schedule a zoom consult. This is your chance to share what brought you here and what you're hoping to explore.
2. Matching Your Needs To Our Skills
Dan Gummo, Relate’s Practice Manager with 15+ years of experience, will lead this session. Based on your goals, personality, availability, and if you meet the requirements, Dan will either continue working with you personally or find the best match from our broader Relate team of therapists.
3. Personalized Path Forward
You’ll receive a clear recommendation—whether that’s working with Dan for short‑term guidance or transitioning to another specialist with complementary expertise. In either case, the process is crafted to be direct, meaningful, and tailored to your needs.
Why Start With This Intro Session?
Human‑Centered Assessment not algorithmic. Dan’s experienced eye ensures you’re matched thoughtfully, not automatically.
Avoid wasting time and energy—get clarity quickly, whether with Dan or another therapist on our team.
Begin to feel progress—many people report relief, insight, or direction after having a sense of clarity.
