Individual therapy
Weekly or bi-weekly conversations for adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity, grief, work, and the patterns that keep returning.
Our approach
A relational practice, not a clinical service.
Fold was built around a small idea. Therapy is, before anything else, a conversation between two people. The work that happens in our rooms is shaped by the particular practitioner you sit with as much as by the modality on the door. We think the website's job is to give you enough of our voice to know whether one of us is the person you want to talk to.
Who we work with
Adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity, life transitions, grief, work and creative blocks, and the patterns that quietly keep returning. Couples in conflict, in repair, or in the slow work of learning the same conversation over again. People with developmental and complex trauma who want to do work that moves below the words.
Who we are not
We are not a fit for active eating disorder treatment, active substance use treatment, or acute psychosis. We are not a crisis service. Where another setting would serve someone better, we say so on the consultation call and offer a referral. The first conversation is for both of us to find that out.
Services
What the work looks like.
Four ways we work with people. The short summaries here are a starting place. The services page goes into more detail.
Couples and relational
For two people working through conflict cycles, intimacy, communication, family-of-origin patterns, or repair after rupture.
Trauma and complex trauma
Long-form work with people carrying developmental trauma, single-incident trauma, or the slower kind that does not have a name.
Initial consultation
A 20-minute conversation, free of charge, to see whether we might be a good fit for the work you want to do.
Practitioners
The people you would be sitting with.
Therapy fit is the single largest factor in whether the work helps. Read who we are. The practitioner you choose matters more than the modality on the door.
What to expect
From the first message to the first session.
It is normal to feel uncertain about reaching out. Here is what happens after you do.
01
Reach out
Send a short note through the contact form or book a 20-minute consultation directly. There is no intake questionnaire to complete first. A few sentences about what is bringing you in is enough.
02
Consultation call
We talk for 20 minutes. You ask anything you want to ask. We share how we work and who we tend to work well with. If we are not the right fit, we say so and offer a referral.
03
First session
First sessions are 50 minutes. We do not run a structured intake. We start where you want to start, and we let the shape of the work emerge over the first three or four sessions.
04
Ongoing work
Most clients work weekly for the first several months. The cadence often shifts to bi-weekly once the work has settled. There is no minimum or maximum number of sessions. We talk openly about how the work is going and when an ending is approaching.
In their words
Reflections from people we have worked with.
“I had been to therapy a few times in my twenties and always felt like I was performing for the therapist. With Fold I just stopped doing that, slowly, over the first six months. I did not know that was the thing I needed.”

“Our couples sessions are the only place we can have the conversations that mattered for years and never went anywhere. Whatever the structure is, it works.”

“The first thing I noticed was that nobody was in a hurry. After a while I noticed I was not in a hurry either.”

Frequently asked
Questions we hear most often.
It depends on what you are bringing and what you want from the work. Some clients work with us for three or four months on a specific transition. Others stay for several years on slower, deeper work. We will check in openly about how it is going and when an ending feels close.
Begin
A consultation call is the right place to start.
Twenty minutes. Free of charge. You bring your questions, we bring ours, and we both decide whether to continue.
