What can I expect from Life, Couples, or Executive Coaching sessions?

As my client, your goals are my goals. I am interactive and work hard to ensure that you strengthen your ability to successfully navigate your world. You can expect to walk away from our time together with effective tools and greater insights. I am here to help you sharpen your existing skill set so that you improve every aspect of how you approach your life. My approach is very direct and I don’t sugarcoat what I see as being obstacles to your peace and happiness. I am a gentle and kind person with your best interest at heart. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear. Usually though, hearing the truth out loud is a catalyst for change. If you are looking for something less interactive, please explore traditional therapy options with other practitioners.

I am here to help you sort through your life today and to strategize for the future. I do this work because I am an expert at everything regarding life. I hold two Master’s degrees. I have trained with and learned from some of the best minds in various fields including but not limited to psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology, interpersonal neurobiology, anthropology, sociology, business, and much more. I do this work to change how the world works. If I can help you be more productive and peaceful, you can go out there and be your best self. The ripple effect of this change will play out for generations to come.

Details about payment

My standard fee is $350/hr prorated for longer sessions as needed. For the first appointment, I recommend 1-2 hours for individuals and 2-3 hours for couples and families. If you are looking for lower fee appointments, please let me know and I am more than happy to refer you based on your needs.

I accept Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Apple Pay, as well as all debit, credit, FSA or HSA cards for payment. Whether you are scheduling an appointment as an individual, couple, or with your family, my fee is the same. The time of your appointment begins at the time we set unless otherwise noted. I am generally flexible if you need to reschedule.

Please feel free to get in touch with me via my Contact page, by email, phone, or by text with any further questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment. My cell phone number is 818-641-6127. I look forward to being helpful to you in any way I can.

Do you accept insurances?

My office does not accept any insurances. I am not a licensed therapist in any state so insurances will generally not reimburse you for our sessions. You can inquire directly with your insurance company for further details as I have periodically seen exceptions for Life Coaching being covered. If you are looking to work with someone who accepts your insurance, your best bet is to contact your insurance company directly and request a list of service providers which are covered in your plan.

How long are sessions?

I am here to help you arrive at conclusions and to gain a clear understanding of what your challenges are. I will give you easy to implement skills and tools that I know will change the direction of your life for the better during the first session. First sessions can range anywhere from 1-3 hours or more depending on how many people are in session and how much information you are presenting with. I am flexible so that you have the time and space you need to change your life after one conversation. I ask lots of questions and provide as much expert feedback as possible.

What do I need to know about scheduling an appointment?

You can contact me through the form on my Contact page, by phone, or by text to schedule an appointment or ask me any specific questions. I am very responsive. If I am in session or unavailable, my phone is always on silent so don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

The hours that I schedule appointments are flexible 7 days a week depending on when works best for both of our schedules. I am available for appointments Monday through Friday between 8am and 5pm PST. I offer in person appointments at my office in Scottsdale, Arizona or virtual appointments by phone or by video conferencing to clients in the US and around the world.

I offer a complimentary 15 minute phone call for us to collaboratively decide if we are a good fit. We can also communicate by email or text. This gives you the opportunity to provide me with a general summary of what is going on in your life so that I can provide you with information as to how our process together would work specifically for you. I can also answer any specific questions you may have about working with me during this conversation. We can schedule an appointment at that time as well.

I generally recommend 1-3 hours for first appointments for couples and families and 1-2 hours for individuals. These time frames can vary depending on how much information you are presenting with. Appointments after the first one are generally about 1 hour. The shortest appointment I offer is 1 hour.  

After the first hour, I only charge for the amount of time used, not another full hour. In the initial consultation and in the first session, you and I will discuss your specific needs and goals in order to structure a plan that will focus on tangible results. Most clients find that just one or a few sessions get them to where they want to be while others are looking for longer term, more insight-based work to develop deeper levels of consciousness. It's completely up to you. I am very flexible and no part of my practice is traditional.

I generally have availability within a day or few days of when you reach out. I set appointments by phone or by video conferencing only. I do not see clients in person. I do not accept any insurances and my standard fee is prorated for longer sessions as needed depending on which package you choose or if you would like to be seen on an hourly basis.

If you are a student, teacher, active military, or veteran, I appreciate your hard work in society. Should anyone in these fields or other fields need a lower fee service, please let me know as I’m happy to get you connected with one of the Life Coaches in my office who I have trained and can see you for a lower fee.

If there will be more than one person who will be attending sessions, please have their schedule information available when calling for appointments. If you can provide me with some time frames that work best for you and anyone else who will be attending sessions, I can give you appointment options. 

Should you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please do so within 2 hours of the start of your scheduled appointment time so that you are not charged for one missed hour. I am very flexible with rescheduling and cancelations and I expect that my time is also respected. I want your experience with Life Coaching to be as stress free as possible.

If you miss your appointment and do not notify me until after your appointment time has started, I charge for one missed hour. This is very rare, but I like for all of my clients to be aware of my policy.

What languages do you speak fluently?

I work with people around the world from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds and conduct Life Coaching sessions in English, Farsi, and Armenian.
