Fit  

​

Before you leap into this process, and before we take you into our full embrace, let’s first see if this is even a good fit for you. And for us.

 

For starters, if you are interested in this psychotherapeutic approach but our current services does not cater to your specific needs, you will likely be disappointed with us. To avoid such frustration, we insist you not apply for this service but instead work with us to find capable professionals (likely trained counselors and social workers) who can join us to expand our array of services.

​

Keep in mind this is not a healthcare service. Insurance does not apply. We do not treat individuals, but instead we assist individuals like you to therapeutically “treat” relationship dynamics. You create value, not incur a health cost.

 

Like experimental surgery, you may need to absorb a lot of information to make an informed decision. There are plenty of pros and cons to consider.

 

Unlike licensed counselors bound to each state, for example, psychosociotherapy can serve you across state boundaries. Unlike established counselors, however, we are just beginning to measure our effectiveness. This may prove a poor fit for you if you’re averse to yet-to-be-proven approaches.

 

See the psychosociotherapy page to explore more distinctions with traditional counseling.

 

After reviewing the content in the pages of Value Relating and you want to pursue this as an option, go ahead and start the “fit” process here.

1. Self-check

​

​

​

​

​

​

1A. Self-check criteria checklist

 

You can save yourself from frustration by screening yourself. How much can you agree or disagree with these statements? They address the likely minimum for a good fit for you and a good fit between us.

​

1. I can read online material and satisfactorily comprehend it.

2. There is someone in my life I can call on to partner with me through this process.

3. I can produce a list of names of those who would support me in this cause.

4. I do not have any medical conditions that would prevent me from handling ice.

5. I do not have any medical conditions that would prevent me from eating slowly.

6. I am open to trying novel ideas.

7. I can accept risks of new approaches not working immediately as expected.

8. I can report how I experience something promptly to avoid any harm.

9. I can provide helpful feedback to promptly adjust any treatment of how we do things.

10. I can learn how to use ProtonMail encrypted email and understand how messages self-destruct after I read them.

11. I can learn how to download the VSee app so my online video chat communication can remain secure.

12. I have routine access to the Internet (such as wifi or through an ethernet cord).

13. I know how to use a computer to go online, fill out forms, use chat applications, and use email.

14. I have a PayPal account (or can partner with someone who has a PayPal account), or I have an online bank account or debit/credit card to process payments or receipts.

15. I am at least 18 years of age and live in the United States.

16. I am free from any diagnosis of ego-syntonic personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder.

17. I can read and enter into a service contract by either agreeing to its stated terms or negotiating its terms in accordance of legal, ethical and personal requirements.

18. I can address legal concerns before complaining to a lawyer or court for redress, by trusting I can first redress these concerns directly with those I see limiting my options.

19. I can formulate questions that adequately conveys any concern I have to be sure my specific needs get included in how we move forward.

20. I am ready, willing and able to take responsibility for my life while also insisting others be more responsible with their affect upon me.

 

This list does not exhaust all considerations. It does address the major elements to ensure this process is a good fit for you and us. Consider it a conversation starter, for when we begin interacting with each other in the following steps.

 

If you can affirm each of these statements then you are an ideal fit for this unique kind of service. If you found yourself not being able to agree to a term, you still may be a good fit, by addressing such concerns with us first.

​

​

1B. Email us when set to proceed

 

Email us when you're ready, willing and able to give this untried approach a pioneering  try. Here is where ask us your general questions.

“Can I use this service entirely over my smartphone?”

“Do you have any suggestions for who I should invite to be my champion?”

“What if I just want advocacy support for exoneration, without posting my innocence claim online?”

“Why can’t I just pay for this service on my own, without including others?”

 

Our reply not only seeks to answer your questions or concerns, the exchange starts to build our rapport. We get a feel for your preferences and priorities.

 

You can use the email app in the upper right of the screen, or at our Contact page.

 

Send your message and look for our reply within a day or so. We’re just getting started so your patience is appreciated. The message will gage how we can move forward together, or not. To establish a good fit, the email message will instruct you when to best text and chat with us.

 

2. Checking us out

 

​

​

​

​

​

2A. SMS text messaging

 

When reaching this point, we start building rapport with each other. Follow the guidance in the email you received. You may not even need to text, and instead move straight onto chatting with one of our agents.

 

The email lets you know when an agent will be available to reply to your SMS text or can chat with you in real time. We gradually build a connection. If all goes well, we promptly move onto chat.

​

 

2B. Chat in real time

 

Think of this as a warm up to our online video chat sessions. Before committing yourself, you get to check if we’re a good fit for you. We get to see if you’re still a good fit for what we offer, or if we must refer you to services elsewhere.

 

Once we both see promise for a mutual fit, you will then schedule a 10-minute video chat session.

 

3. Finding mutual fit

 

​

​

​

​

​

3A. Video chat to be “verified” to enter

 

You may choose to contact us using Skype, FB Messenger, Google+ hangouts. Let us know your preferred app.

 

Currently we do not use Facetime or any other app. If there’s video-chat app you think we should use then we are open to your suggestion. Your helpful tip may help others who rely on that app.

 

Before we delve into your personal needs, we’ll move onto a more secure video chat app. Your first paid session will utilize the VSee app, to keep your personal needs and private information, well, private.

 

Within minutes, we mutually agree to move forward—or not—with a shared commitment that could revolutionize your life. We provide a rough estimate, along a continuum, of how effective our service can be to reach your goal(s).

 

In short, you are then “verified” for our psychosociotherapeutic service of transforming dysfunctional relationships into better outcomes for all involved.

​

 

3B. Enter intake process
