Ask an Elder

One Good Conversation Can Go a Long Way

Sometimes you don’t need a whole therapy process—you just need a wise, steady voice when the road forks.

Ask an Elder is a one-time session for when life throws a hard question your way. Whether you're wrestling with a decision, sitting in heartbreak, or trying to find your next step, this is a place to slow down and talk it through.

You’ll meet with someone who’s walked a few miles ahead, who brings depth, clinical training, and the kind of perspective that doesn’t come from textbooks.

How It Works (and What It's For)

What is this, exactly?

Ask an Elder is a one-time session with a seasoned guide. It’s not therapy, and it’s not coaching. It’s a good, honest conversation with someone trained in clinical care and life wisdom—meant to help you see more clearly and choose more courageously.

When is it helpful?

These sessions are made for thresholds—moments when something’s ending, beginning, or uncertain. Think: heartbreak, job changes, moral dilemmas, family tension, identity shifts, or just plain stuckness.

What do I walk away with?

Not a diagnosis. Not a to-do list.
You’ll leave with clearer eyes, a steadier heart, and a stronger sense of what matters now.
Sometimes that means a decision. Sometimes it means a shift inside you.
Either way, it’s something real—and you’ll know it.

Is this therapy?

Nope. And it’s not advice, either.
This is a one-time, confidential conversation with someone who’s walked a ways and knows how to hold complexity.
It’s not therapy—but it is informed by decades of clinical experience and rooted in wisdom traditions that honor life’s big questions.
A place to speak freely, sort through something real, and feel less alone as you do.

A place to pause and ask something real.

There are moments in life that don’t call for therapy—but do call for a real conversation with a trustworthy other. A turning point. A hard decision. A stuck place you can’t think your way through. That’s what Ask an Elder is for.

It’s one session. One hour to 90 minutes. One honest exchange with someone who’s lived a little, thought a lot, and knows how to meet you with both clarity and care.

This offering is grounded in two decades of clinical experience and shaped by wisdom traditions that respect life’s bigger questions. It’s not prescriptive, and it’s not about fixing. It’s about perspective, presence, and sorting through what matters—together.

“I don’t need therapy... I just need to talk to someone real.”

Maybe that thought has crossed your mind.
Not forever. Not every week. Just one honest, steadying conversation with someone who won’t flinch or fix. Someone who knows how to ask clarifying questions and offer a some wisdom.
That’s what this is for.
