*Frequently asked questions
How Do I Get Started?
• Please contact me via the contact page here or at ethan.taylor@venueclinic.com to schedule a time to speak about starting treatment.• I offer one or more free preliminary consultations. Beginning treatment is a serious commitment, and these conversations allow us to address practical considerations, including scheduling, fees, and any reservations you may have.• Our initial conversations are not separate from the work itself. From the very first call, you'll be invited to speak about whatever brings you here. Questions are always welcome, but these conversations are not simply question-and-answer sessions. They are an opportunity for us to begin working together.
Who I Work With
• I am currently able to treat residents of South Carolina and Georgia.• I work with adults who come on their own terms, seeking treatment for themselves. • No prior diagnosis is excludes you from this work, nor is one required to begin.
• Sexuality and gender are not treated here as problems to be corrected. They are also not reduced to labels or predetermined explanations. Questions of sexuality, gender, identity, relationships, and desire can be explored seriously and openly, wherever that exploration leads.
• I do not treat couples or families.• When substance use is active to the point that it structures your day or carries into sessions, this work is not likely to be effective. I’m happy to help connect you with services focused on stabilization and revisit this work when appropriate.
Frequency & Time
• Meeting at a minimum of once weekly is preferable to sustain the frame for our work.
• I practice a variable length session. Our time is set by the movement of the work, not the clock.
Health Insurance & Fees
• I do not participate with health insurance. • My usual fee is $150 per session. In some cases, a different fee may be arranged.
