About Approach Work With Me FAQ Apply
Apply

Before we begin, I need to understand your situation.

The application is not a screening device. It's the first step in understanding whether this work is the right fit — for both of us. Fill it out honestly. I review every submission personally and respond within 48 hours.

Used only to respond to your application. Not shared or added to any list.

There is no right way to describe this. Specificity is more useful than completeness.

This is the most important field. Be as concrete as you can.

If the standard rate is a genuine barrier, select this. The conversation will be direct and without judgment.

Personal response within 48 hours. Every application is read, not screened.

Application received.

I'll review your submission and respond within 48 hours. Check your email — including your spam folder if you don't see a reply by then.

If you need to add something to your application before I respond, you can reach me at shepardscale@proton.me.

What to expect

  • Personal review — not an automated screen
  • Response within 48 hours
  • If it's a fit: a scheduling link for your first session
  • If it's not: an honest explanation and a direction toward what would serve you better
  • If more information is needed: a specific follow-up question, not a generic request

Before you apply

  • Read the Approach page — it describes exactly how sessions work and what the four phases involve
  • Read the fit section — this work isn't for everyone, and that's intentional
  • Check the FAQ for questions about coaching vs. therapy, insurance, and sliding scale
