Thank you for reaching out to The-Other-Therapy! One of our representatives will get back to you shortly. We appreciate your interest and look forward to assisting you.
This document outlines what you can expect from working with me, and what I'll expect from you. Read through each section and acknowledge at the bottom before continuing.
Your right to withdraw
You can refuse any treatment or withdraw consent at any time. Before doing so, I'd encourage you to raise your concerns with me directly — it's often more useful than simply stopping. If you decide to end treatment, I'll provide referrals to ensure a smooth transition.
My right to end treatment
I may end treatment if I'm no longer confident I can provide effective care, if fees go unpaid, or if appointments are repeatedly missed. If any of this applies, I'll discuss it with you directly and provide referrals.
The nature of this relationship
Psychotherapy is a collaborative, professional process. You are an active participant — your motivation, goals, and willingness to engage drive the work. I'll listen, keep sessions focused, and give you honest feedback about what I think is getting in your way. The rest is yours to do.
What I can and can't do
I can name what I see you doing that works against your own goals, and help you understand the roots of patterns that keep repeating. What I can't do is change things for you. Change comes from your effort and honesty. You get out of this what you put into it.
What this relationship is not
The therapeutic relationship is not a substitute for unmet childhood needs or a social outlet. It can help you understand why those needs went unmet and make sense of relational patterns — but it isn't designed to fill relational voids, however understandable that wish might be.
Uncovering what's been avoided
Therapy often involves facing things that have been pushed aside — frightening or painful emotions, patterns you'd rather not look at, truths you've been managing around. The path toward getting better sometimes runs through discomfort, not around it. Avoidance offers short-term relief. It doesn't produce real change.
Focus on self-inflicted pain
What people sometimes find most challenging in working with me is the focus on what they are doing to impede their own progress. Acknowledging pain inflicted by others matters — but this kind of therapy is primarily aimed at addressing what you do to create your own suffering. That's where the leverage is.
Risks of the process
Therapy can be destabilizing. Possible risks include emotional disturbance, increased symptom formation, and relationship ruptures — when you change, the people in your life don't always welcome it. None of this is guaranteed to happen, but it's worth knowing it can.
My approach
I practice Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), drawing also from Buddhist psychology and humanistic principles. My work focuses on making unconscious patterns visible and helping you engage with your life more skillfully.
Telehealth
Sessions are conducted online via secure video platforms. Telehealth has inherent limitations including occasional technology failures and a reduced ability to respond to local emergencies. If you are outside the US and in crisis, please contact your local emergency services or visit findahelpline.com for international crisis resources.
Fees
Individual sessions are $175 USD per session (50–60 minutes). I do not take insurance. I can provide a superbill, but cannot guarantee your insurer will accept it. You pay for the scheduled time regardless of whether you use all of it.
Payment methods
Venmo: trevor-brown-7 · PayPal: tmbrown1scu@gmail.com · Wise: wise.com/pay/me/trevormayob
Cancellation policy
No charge if you cancel at least 48 hours in advance. Full session fee applies for late cancellations or no-shows. If you miss a session without rescheduling within 6 weeks, you'll be closed out of my caseload. I reserve the right to request advance payment for sessions to be scheduled — if you cancel with 10 days notice, that payment becomes a credit valid for 2 months.
Your responsibilities
It's your job to contact me to reschedule missed or cancelled appointments. I don't initiate contact except for scheduling clarifications, fee logistics, or in rare crisis situations.
Diagnosis & fee changes
Unless you ask me to, I won't assign a formal DSM diagnosis. I reserve the right to raise fees at any time with advance notice, and will provide referrals if the new rate creates a financial barrier.
Physical health
Please get a physical examination from your doctor if you haven't recently — some issues we address may have physical components. Please also let your doctor know you're starting therapy and ask them to share any relevant health information with me if appropriate.
Confidentiality
Everything discussed in our sessions is confidential. I will not share information about you with anyone unless you ask me to, or unless required by law. You're free to share anything you want about our sessions with anyone you choose.
Exceptions
I may share information without your consent in the following circumstances: clinical supervision (bound by the same standards); court order or subpoena; credible risk of physical harm to yourself or others; suspected child or elder abuse or neglect; or if you're being repeatedly physically or sexually abused.
Colorado licensing & international clients
I am licensed in the state of Colorado, USA. My professional and ethical obligations follow Colorado and U.S. law. If you reside outside the United States, local laws regarding confidentiality, duty to report, or data protection may differ from what's described here.
Your records
You have the right to obtain copies of your file — all documentation pertaining to you, including progress notes. Send a written request to info@theothertherapy.com and I'll confirm and fulfill it.
If we meet in public
I won't offer signs of recognition in order to protect your confidentiality. You're free to greet me — if you do, I'll greet you back. There's no pressure either way.
Social media & recordings
We won't connect via social media. No recordings of sessions are permitted under any circumstances.
