Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 30 minute intro call?
To answer a frequently asked question, this free introductory session is designed for us to get to know each other and see if coaching is a good fit for your needs. We will briefly discuss your current circumstance and how I can help you navigate your caregiving journey.
What is the cost, length and delivery method of a session?
Sessions are 50 minutes long and are conducted via Zoom. Understanding that financial strain is often part of this journey, caregiver coaching sessions are priced accordingly. We can talk over pricing and the cadence of sessions in the intro call. Sessions can be scheduled directly via email with me, through Calendly, or at the end of our session together.
What is the difference between Coaching and Psychotherapy?
Coaching is future-oriented and focuses on goal-setting, strategic planning, and practical solutions for your current situation. Psychotherapy often explores past experiences and deep-seated emotional wounds to provide healing. While the two can be complementary, my focus is on helping you navigate the immediate logistical and emotional challenges of caregiving, not replacing the support a therapist can provide.
Are you a licensed therapist?
I am a certified coach, not a licensed therapist. I am currently pursuing a Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Pittsburgh, which will allow me to sit for my Licensed Social Worker (LSW) or Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensure upon graduation.
Is there a support group I can join?
Red Boots Advisory Group does not currently offer support groups, but it is something we are working toward. We do offer group workshops which will be scheduled periodically. If support groups are of interest to you, we can discuss resources local to you that may be a good fit for your specific situation.
Why is this called Red Boots Advisory Group?
Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman was my childhood superhero. Her belt turned into a truth lasso, her gold cuff bracelets defended her against bullets, she spun like a ballerina to turn into Wonder Woman and she had no problem running or landing from tall buildings in her stylish red boots. For me, red boots came to symbolize strength, resilience, and the ability to walk with confidence. Navigating the complexities of being a caregiver requires that we exhibit these characteristics and so red boots seemed like the perfect name.
