Thank you for your interest in Graceful Self-Help Counseling.
Graceful Self-Help Counseling offers telehealth psychotherapy for adults, couples, and families when services are clinically appropriate and within Christina's authorized scope of practice, as well as separate non-clinical wellness coaching services.
Choose the Service You're Looking For
Psychotherapy and wellness coaching are separate services. Please choose the option that best matches what you are looking for.
Psychotherapy
For individuals, couples, or families seeking clinical mental health or relational treatment. Psychotherapy may include assessment, diagnosis when appropriate, treatment planning, and therapeutic intervention.
Request PsychotherapyWellness Coaching
For individuals seeking non-clinical education, encouragement, accountability, reflection, wellness support, and goal-focused assistance. Wellness coaching is not psychotherapy or mental health treatment.
Book Wellness CoachingPsychotherapy & Wellness Coaching Are Different Services
Psychotherapy is a clinical mental health service and may include assessment, diagnosis when appropriate, treatment planning, and treatment of mental health, emotional, relational, or family concerns.
Wellness coaching is a separate non-clinical, educational, supportive, and goal-focused service. Wellness coaching does not include psychotherapy, diagnosis, clinical assessment, treatment of mental health disorders, medical care, or crisis services and does not create a psychotherapy relationship.

Getting Started With Psychotherapy
A complimentary initial consultation of up to 15 minutes may be available to briefly discuss:
- Your general reason for seeking support
- Whether Graceful Self-Help Counseling may be an appropriate fit
- Telehealth and scheduling
- Current fees and payment expectations
- General questions about beginning psychotherapy
The consultation is not psychotherapy and does not establish a therapist-client relationship.
What Happens After a Psychotherapy Request?
After an appointment request is submitted, Graceful Self-Help Counseling will review the request and follow up as appropriate regarding availability and next steps.
If Graceful Self-Help Counseling and the prospective client agree to move forward with psychotherapy, the intake process may include:
- Receiving access to Graceful Self-Help Counseling's secure Client Portal
- Completing required intake forms electronically
- Reviewing informed-consent and practice policies
- Completing privacy and telehealth documentation
- Providing payment information when required
- Scheduling the first psychotherapy appointment
- Receiving instructions for accessing telehealth sessions
Submitting an appointment request does not establish a therapist-client relationship and does not guarantee an appointment. An appointment is not considered fully established until Graceful Self-Help Counseling has accepted the client for services and required intake and consent documents have been completed.
What Happens After a Wellness Coaching Request?
After requesting wellness coaching, you may receive access to the secure Client Portal and information about available coaching appointments.
Before participating in a first wellness coaching session, clients must review and electronically sign the applicable Wellness Coaching Agreement and any required payment, consent, or participation documents.
- Review the non-clinical scope of wellness coaching
- Review coaching fees and payment expectations
- Review scheduling and cancellation terms
- Review applicable privacy and technology information
- Complete required coaching documents
- Receive information for accessing the virtual coaching session
Clients located outside the United States may be required to review additional terms or documentation applicable to cross-border wellness coaching before services begin. Availability may depend on applicable laws, regulations, professional requirements, and other circumstances.
Secure Client Portal
Established psychotherapy and wellness coaching clients may use Graceful Self-Help Counseling's secure Client Portal for available functions such as:
- Completing intake forms, questionnaires, agreements, and practice documents
- Viewing and managing available appointment information
- Sending and receiving secure messages
- Uploading documents securely
- Accessing documents shared by Graceful Self-Help Counseling
- Receiving telehealth or virtual-session instructions
- Reviewing billing or account information when available
New clients receive portal access when appropriate as part of the intake or onboarding process. Use of the same portal for psychotherapy and wellness coaching does not change the separate nature or scope of those services.
Telehealth & Virtual Services
Graceful Self-Help Counseling is a telehealth-focused practice. Psychotherapy and wellness coaching sessions are provided remotely using approved technology.
Clients should participate from a reasonably private location with reliable internet access and a compatible phone, tablet, or computer.
For psychotherapy, the client must be physically located at the time of each session in a jurisdiction where Christina is legally authorized to provide professional services.
Wellness coaching is a separate non-clinical service. Clients outside the United States may be subject to additional documentation, eligibility requirements, or service limitations before cross-border coaching begins.
