Wellness Consults

An Effective Alternative to Traditional Psychotherapy

Perhaps you would like to learn skills to better manage stress, improve the quality of your sleep, or reduce your use of nicotine but you don’t have the time, money, or bandwidth to dedicate to the process of individual talk therapy. While therapy can be a useful avenue for establishing healthy habits, it is not the only way.

Breakwater Psychotherapy is pleased to offer single- and three-session packages for people who are looking for a quicker, more compartmentalized approach to managing concerns around sleep, attention, performance anxiety, nicotine use, and stress.

How Wellness Consults Work

Wellness Consults are tailored to your individual circumstances, but focus on teaching and practicing concrete and sustainable skills that can result in behavior change. During your wellness consult, you will work with a licensed Breakwater clinician to:

establish a session focus
briefly explore your presenting concern
identify concrete goals, and
develop and practice new skills

Wellness Consults typically last 40-55 minutes, and for many, that is enough to start meaningful progress towards your goal. If you choose the three-session option, we schedule the first two sessions two weeks apart, and third session several weeks afterward. This schedule allows for enough time for reflection, education, practice, exploration of success and barriers and discussion of next steps.
