I’m glad you’re reaching out. Supporting someone with a serious mental illness is hard, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Start with a free 15-minute consultation

Call me at (415) 297-1016 or email rreiser@cbtsupervision.com to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation. We’ll talk briefly about what is happening in your family and whether working together makes sense.

Who can attend

Family sessions are flexible. You can meet with me:

  • On your own, as a parent, partner, sibling, or other caregiver
  • Together with other family members
  • Together with your loved one, when that is helpful and they are willing

You do not need your loved one to participate in order to get started.

What to expect in our first session

In our first meeting I will ask about what your family member is experiencing, how it is affecting you and the rest of the family, what you have already tried, and what you most want to change. Within the first few sessions I will recommend a plan, which may include the skills taught in CBT-Informed Caring for Families. If I think someone else would be a better fit for your family, I will make a referral.

Fees

The first session is 60 minutes ($380). Follow-up sessions are 45 minutes ($285). More information about my practice, including my fee schedule, is on the Questions About Starting Therapy page.

Forms

I will send the Treatment Agreement to your email address so it can be signed electronically through Adobe Sign.

For family members who are eligible for Medicare: I have opted out of Medicare and ask you to complete the Medicare opt-out contract.

If you or your loved one is having an emergency, call 988, 911, or the
24-hour Marin County Crisis Line at (415) 499-1100.
