Welcome! I am so glad you found me and am honored to walk alongside your journey.

I recommend you schedule a free 15 minute consultation call with me to see if we are a good fit for  each other. If you feel at peace moving forward please complete this Intake Form. This will help me get to know you better and better prepare myself to accompany you in this journey. 

Prior to our meeting, please review and sign this  Consent Form.

Once you have completed the intake and consent form, you may book your appointment here.

Telehealth Appointments

I provide Telehealth sessions through HIPAA-compliant platforms that offer a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA). I follow the recommendations of the Board of Social Workers and all applicable state laws to protect your confidentiality. While no electronic method is ever 100% secure, I use updated encryption, firewalls, and secure systems to safeguard your information to the best of my ability.

Virtual appointments offer flexibility and can support our healing process. However, part of our ongoing therapeutic work will be assessing whether virtual connection continues to meet your innate need for presence, authenticity, and relational attunement. If we notice that Telehealth no longer supports this need, we will explore sustainable options in your community or transition to in-person care if available.

Technology Requirements & Preparation

Please prepare for our virtual sessions with intention:

• Choose a private, quiet, uninterrupted space.

• Use a stable internet connection and a device capable of audio and video (unless other arrangements are made).

• Avoid public Wi-Fi or shared devices whenever possible.
  
  

If the connection becomes unstable, I will attempt to reconnect once. If this is not possible, we will discuss whether to transition briefly to phone, reschedule, or make another plan. Repeated connection issues may be considered a cancellation.

Sessions Will Be Cancelled (with a $100 Fee) If:

• You are driving.
  I do not conduct sessions while a client is operating a vehicle. This endangers your safety and prevents meaningful therapeutic work.

• There are unannounced third parties present.
  If someone enters the session space unexpectedly, it breaches safety and confidentiality. If you’d like someone included, please tell me in advance.

In-Person Sessions & Liability

By attending in-person sessions, you acknowledge that therapeutic work carries some emotional and physical vulnerability. While I take reasonable precautions to maintain a safe and accessible environment, I cannot be held liable for accidents or injuries that may occur on the premises. You agree to take responsibility for your personal safety and to notify me of any medical, physical, or accessibility needs that may affect your care.

Emergency Procedures & Location Disclosure

Because Telehealth limits my ability to respond physically in an emergency, you agree to:

• Share your physical location at the start of each session.

• Provide a current emergency contact.

• Understand that if you are in crisis and unable to ensure your own safety, I may contact emergency services or your emergency contact.
  
  

Telehealth may not be sufficient for acute crises such as active suicidal intent, medical emergencies, or domestic violence emergencies. In these cases, I may recommend in-person or higher-level care.

Licensing & Location Restrictions

I can only provide psychotherapy services when you are physically located in states where I am licensed to practice. You agree to inform me of any change in your physical location before or during our session.

Confidentiality

I have a legal and ethical responsibility to protect all communications during Telehealth services. While I take every reasonable step to secure your information, electronic communication may be vulnerable to interception or unauthorized access.

You can support confidentiality by:

• Using secure networks

• Password-protecting your device

• Limiting who has access to your devices

• Using headphones for privacy
  
  

Client Rights

You have the right to:

• Withdraw or withhold consent for Telehealth at any time without affecting future treatment.

• Ask questions about Telehealth, treatment, risks, or alternatives at any point.

• Request copies of your clinical notes, treatment plan, or treatment summary at any time during or after treatment.

• Decline any modality or intervention that does not feel aligned with your needs.

All fees are due at the time of service unless another agreement has been made.

Payment may be made by IVY pay.

Cancellation Policy

Appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance or a $100 cancellation fee will be charged.

If you do not enter the session within 15 minutes, the session will be considered a no-show and the cancellation fee will be applied.

Email & Text Communication

I may contact you by text or email for:

• Scheduling

• Billing

• Appointment reminders or changes

• Psychoeducation or resources

You can revoke this consent at any time in writing. Text and email are not encrypted and carry risks, including possible interception or unauthorized access. I recommend deleting messages after you read them.

Availability & Communication

I am available on Mondays and Tuesdays from 3:00–7:00 PM EST and Thursdays from 5:00–8:00 PM EST virtually. Messages received outside of these hours will not be responded to by phone or text. If you contact me outside of my availability, you can expect a response within 24–48 hours.

I do not provide emergency or crisis services. If you are experiencing a crisis or need immediate support, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or call 911.

Privacy Policy & Exceptions to Confidentiality

Your clinical information will not be released without your written consent except in the following cases required by law:

• Suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or disabled person

• Serious risk of harm to yourself or others

• Court orders requiring release of records or testimony

• Professional consultation for clinical guidance (identifying information minimized whenever possible)
  
  

Case material may be used for training or academic purposes only after all identifying information is removed.

Recording Policy

Recording sessions (audio, video, screenshots) is not permitted unless we both provide explicit written consent.

Social Media Boundary

To protect your confidentiality and maintain the therapeutic relationship:

• I do not accept friend or follow requests from clients on my personal social media.

• You are welcome to follow @awayuhealing, but messages will not be responded to, as social media is not HIPAA compliant.

• Please use my website or email/text for communication.

Accessibility & Accommodations

If you require disability or language-related accommodations, please let me know. I will make every reasonable effort to support your access to care.

Acknowledgment & Agreement

I have read and understand the information provided above.
I understand the risks and benefits of Telehealth, the limits of confidentiality, my rights as a client, and all policies regarding payment and cancellations.
I agree to these terms and consent to treatment via Telehealth services with Awayu Healing LLC.

Prepare your space 

Cultivating a space for inner work is a lifelong journey. Here are some tips that can help you set up a nurturing and safe-enough space for personal insight and exploration. Find a quiet and comfortable environment free of interruptions. This space could be indoors and outdoors. 

Create a calming ambiance using lighting, scents, or soothing sounds to create a peaceful atmosphere. This can help you feel more relaxed and have greater access to self-healing energy.

Set up your device in a place where you are not holding it with your hand and I can see you. Set up your phone on do not disturb and make sure it is charged and have access to reliable internet. 

Gather your support tools

• Notebook and a good writing utensil: Much of the work we will do in therapy is clearing out the debris so you can see clearly what needs your attention and access your inner wisdom to address the challenges in your life with confidence and peace. Jotting down your thoughts in a journal specifically designed for your inner-work journey can be a powerful tool not only for now but for your future self. 

• Essential oils, plants, and natural sounds help us connect to the earth and feel more grounded and rooted as we embark on this journey. If you do choose to use essential oils, you may want to do some research and use a high quality product that guarantees quality and your body does not have an adverse reaction. 

• Water or tea

• Other suggestions: If you anticipate your first appointment to be difficult to talk, it may be helpful to bring something you can do with your hands. The possibilities are endless but here are a few of our favorites, knitting, water color, color pencils, etc. 

Reflect on what you hope to get out of therapy 

Prior to your initial appointment, it may be helpful to jot down what you hope to focus on in therapy or what you hope to accomplish in therapy. If nothing comes to mind, don't worry! We will explore together.

I look forward to meeting you and if you have any questions prior to your appointment, feel free to send me an email at nabi@awayuhealing.org

My psychotherapy service rate is $200 for a 90 minute session and $170 for a 60 minute session. 

As of August 15, 2025 I am no longer paneled with insurance companies. I use IVY Pay to charge for my fees. 

Ivy Pay is a secure, HIPAA-compliant, and hassle-free payment processor that provides super bills if you choose to submit them to your insurance for reimbursement. 

We explore our inner journey through an Internal Family Systems (IFS)approach where work with different aspects or "parts" within ourselves in a non pathologizing way. Throughout life, we develop parts as a way to protect or cope with various experiences and emotions. Some parts or aspects of our personality can bring disharmony and destruction to ourselves and others. We explore these parts with compassion, empathy and respect. Our work focuses in fostering understanding and trust within parts so we can cultivate inner harmony and well-being.  

Trauma lives a residue in the body and it is also in the body that we access the wisdom to live through difficult and disorienting moments in our lives. In our work together, we incorporate stillness, movement, and the breath to access the inner landscape of your body. 

Sliding Scale: A Nurturing, Parent centered approach

Healing deserves to be accessible, tender, and rooted in the understanding that we all move through the world with different levels of support. My sliding scale is designed with a care-based, anti-capitalist, and parent-centered lens. It honors the labor of caregiving, the pressures of survival, and the reality that our financial resources ebb and flow.

Tier 1 – Supported Rate

For clients with limited financial resources, caregivers with no or low income, those facing systemic oppression, or crisis situations.
Typical range: $30 – $80 per session

Tier 2 – Sustainable Rate

For clients who can meet basic needs but have little or no expendable income.
Typical range: $80 – $130 per session

Tier 3 – Community Resourcing / Full Cost Rate

For clients with financial security who can help subsidize care for others.
Typical range: $130 – $200+ per session

Sliding scale options will be re-evaluate every 6 months. 

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
