What to Expect in Your First Session

Reaching out is often the hardest part. Here’s what actually happens after that.

Before You Come In

You’ll book directly through Jeni’s Availability, a secure client portal where you can see real open times and pick what works for you. Sessions are offered both virtually and in person in Los Gatos, California.

The First Session Itself

The first session is 50 minutes, and it’s less about telling your entire history and more about getting oriented: what brought you in, what’s happening right now, and what you’re hoping is possible. You won’t be asked to have a plan, a decision, or a tidy version of events. Messy is fine. Uncertain is fine.

Fees

Individual therapy is $275 for a 50-minute session. Couples therapy is $300 for a 50-minute session. Sessions are private pay and out-of-network; a monthly superbill is provided automatically so you can seek reimbursement from your insurance if your plan allows it.

What This Session Won’t Do

It won’t resolve everything, and it won’t tell you what to decide about the relationship. It also won’t take sides. I am not here to choose the good person and the bad person, and I am not here to shame or judge you. I am curious about you.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least 48 hours notice.
