Initial Parenting-Specific Consultation with Dr. Carpenter

• Consultation will include completion of online questionnaires and assessment of parenting stress, as well as same-day feedback and recommendations.

Short-Term Psychotherapy

• Online or in person in Richmond, short-term psychotherapy typically includes 4-6 sessions after completing the required initial consultation.

• This can be helpful for individuals navigating an acute stressor and/or who do not want to commit to or establish care with a longer term therapist, but who want to be seen quickly (e.g., perinatal health concerns, loss, unexpected transitions or stressors, coping with a new medical diagnosis for yourself or your child). We have found that often times women and parents need help quickly, and it can be an added burden to have to wait months for specialized care and support. We believe that Vermonters deserve immediate support without having to search nationally for out-of-state providers or potentially utilize emergency services because they do not know what else to do.

• Scope will be focused on the presenting concern or stressor, and will be personalized to address the individual’s treatment goals.

• If additional sessions or broader scope of psychological or psychiatric support is found to be recommended, referrals will be made for providers who specialize in that indicated area.

• Interventions may include but are not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy, radically open dialectical behavior therapy, and exploration of psychodynamic and relational themes.

• 50 minutes, $200/session

Long-Term Psychotherapy

• Online or in person in Richmond, long-term psychotherapy may range from several months to even longer after completing the required initial consultation.

• This is helpful for individuals who want to establish care with a provider who can see them for unlimited sessions, assuming there is a clear treatment plan.

• Scope will be focused on the presenting concern or stressor, and will be personalized to address the individual’s treatment goals.

• Interventions may include but are not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy, radically open dialectical behavior therapy, and exploration of psychodynamic and relational themes.

• 50 minutes, $200/session

Group Psychotherapy

These will be held in-person or over zoom depending on availability and interests of the group members.
