This example is how some clients engage with us but is not required or expected. We are open to meeting you where you are and supporting you as you need.
A couple came to us for Financial Therapy to help them get on the same page about major financial decisions like how much to contribute to their kid’s college fund and what retirement will look like.
After a few sessions, they had enough clarity to begin planning and worked with us through a series of Hourly 1-on-1 Financial Coaching sessions to get support in building a plan they will implement themselves.
