Options for coaching with Ash

If you’re looking for support as you navigate your inner world, here are all the ways I can help. We’ll meet by secure video call, unless you would prefer to meet at my home office in Northeast Minneapolis—just ask. This page explains pricing options, payment terms, and how to get support for less.

💵 Pricing and payment

Because I work entirely outside the healthcare system, my clients can’t use health insurance to pay me. For that reason, I think a lot about how to make this healing and liberating inner work as accessible as possible. (Particularly nowadays, as the world economy gets worse for pretty much everybody.)

Choose your own price

Every new client’s hour-long exploration session is absolutely free. Once you decide to work with me, you get to choose your own price from a three-tier scale, no questions asked:

  • 💰💰💰 Clients who can afford it choose my generosity rate, $200 per hour, to help make coaching more accessible for others. (Does anybody choose to pay this much? To my delight, indeed they do.)
  • 💰💰 Most clients choose my standard rate, $150 per hour—close to the “market rate” for expert one-on-one support of the kind I offer. (This is what I pay to work with other practitioners like me.)
  • 💰 My accessibility rate is $100 per hour. This is the lowest rate I can advertise publicly without devaluing the work of professionals like me. (Choose this rate if the standard rate is too spendy.)

If these prices are out of reach for you right now, click here for options.

Which rate should you pick? A rule of thumb: think about what you’re willing to pay out of pocket for other expert personal services (like bodywork, hair, personal training, and such).

Ways to work together

🧭 INNER INTENSIVE

Three months of coaching, 60 minutes every week, to get to know your whole self.

If you’ve never explored your inner world before, this is the place to start. When you want to get better acquainted with all of your complicated self, an Inner Intensive lets you bring focused attention to your own experience over 12 consecutive weeks.

  • In weekly hour-long coaching sessions, online or at my office in Minneapolis, I’ll support your inner exploration with compassionate guidance, honest encouragement, and steadfast solidarity.
  • My approach to coaching is designed to let you explore deeply enough to achieve transformative results — and gently enough to let you get on with ordinary life between sessions.
  • The new inner communication skills you learn in your Intensive will help you sustain the progress you make toward healing and liberation long after our last session.

📍 INNER FOCUS

Four 90-minute coaching sessions, with a specific goal in mind.

Focused support for your inner world for a particular reason. Sometimes, you don’t need to explore your whole inner world — just a the parts of it that are causing you trouble right now.

  • Maybe a new part of yourself has just emerged, and you want some help integrating them into your internal family.
  • Maybe there’s a big challenge going on in your life, and you want some support to make sense of it and get through it more comfortably.
  • Maybe there’s a specific pattern in your thinking or behavior that you feel ready to change for the better.

💡How to get support for less

I believe everyone deserves the chance to make peace with their inner world, no matter how much money they have. If the prices on this page are standing between you and the support you’re looking for, here are some ideas:

  • 🫶 Ask me about lower rates or post-paid sessions. If my lowest rate would cause you economic hardship, just tell me during our free first call. I’ll work with you to see if we can find a price and payment structure that you can manage.
  • 📚 Do-it-yourself inner exploration. Try these free and cheap resources to explore your inner world on your own. That’s how I started this work myself.
  • 🏥 Using health insurance. If you have health insurance through your employer, an independent health plan, or a government program like Medicare or Medical Assistance, a mental-health professional trained in Internal Family Systems might be a more affordable option. Here’s some advice about finding a therapist who takes insurance.

🆓 Start with a free exploration session

Rather than offering a 15- or 30-minute consultation, I take a whole hour to get to know every potential client. Zero pressure, totally confidential — just an hour for us to talk.
