Scheduling & Waitlist Notice

Due to high demand for counseling with Ryan and Maddy, availability can vary, and while many new inquiries are scheduled right away, some requests may be placed on our waitlist depending on timing and openings. Please don’t let that discourage you from reaching out.

​

If added to the waitlist, you’ll be contacted in the order requests are received when an opening matches your availability. We appreciate your patience and look forward to working with you soon.

​

Scheduling Update: Maddy Hesslau will be on maternity leave from May 15 through mid-August. If you are requesting her, please know that you will be added to her waitlist until then. If you inquire before May 15, she will contact you directly
