YOUR FIRST VISIT
The Hardest Part is Walking In.
Everything After That,
We've Got Covered.
Most people arrive not knowing exactly what to expect. That’s exactly why we built this page.
Your first visit is not a test. You won’t be asked to relive anything before you’re ready. What we do is follow what your body shows us. It’s a conversation: a chance for us to get to know each other and figure out together whether this is the right fit.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
When you walk in there’s no receptionist or paperwork waiting for you. You’ll find a comfortable lounge space, everything you need will be waiting for you. Find a spot, get comfortable, and your clinician will come out to meet you.
There’s no check-in process. No waiting room anxiety. Just a space that was built to feel different from the moment you walk in.
Most people arrive carrying the full weight of their day: traffic, deadlines, training, the mental load of everything before this moment. That’s exactly what the Crossover Method is built to address before anything else begins.
Your first visit: We walk through the method together so nothing feels foreign. After that, your personalized process will help you self-direct.
YOUR FIRST SESSION · 60 MINUTES
Just a Conversation. Nothing More.
Your first session is about one thing — getting to know each other.
We want to hear what’s been going on, what you’ve tried, how we can support the work you’re already doing, and what you’re hoping to find here. We’ll share how we work and what the method looks like so nothing feels foreign when you come back. And we’ll both leave knowing whether this is the right fit.
You don’t need to prepare anything. You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to know what’s wrong or be able to explain it clearly. It’s our job to help you figure that out.
You will not be asked to do more than you’re ready for, at any time.
WHAT COMES NEXT · 60 or 90 MINUTE SESSIONS
Where the Work Begins
Your second visit is where the Crossover Method begins.
Most sessions run 90 minutes; for those who need it, a 60-minute option is available too.
Here’s why we build sessions around 90-minutes:
This work changes your nervous system in the moment. Every session follows the same three-part arc because it’s designed to fully support that change rather than work against it. Sometimes you’ll feel it happening; sometimes the shift is quieter than that, but it’s still real, measured best by comparing before and after, not by how dramatic any single moment felt.
Ninety minutes can feel like a big ask inside a busy week. But going back into the same pace, pressure, and pattern that brought you here, without the time to arrive and settle on either side, is often what keeps bringing people back to square one, needing more sessions to get anywhere. The extra time isn’t padding. It’s what makes the work actually hold, so you need less of it over time, not more.
If talking about it, reasoning through it, or simply deciding to move on would have resolved what you’re carrying, you would have done it already. When a stressor doesn’t resolve, it isn’t a failure of willpower or insight. I
t means what you’re carrying lives below conscious thought, as a stuck pattern in the body and nervous system. Patterns like that don’t respond to logic. They respond to conditions, safety, attention, and a system that feels supported enough to do what it already knows how to do.
The first 15 minutes — the Crossover Window — is a deliberate crossing over from your external world into your internal one. You came from traffic, deadlines, notifications, pressure, and everything that was pulling at you before you walked through the door. Your nervous system is still there. The Crossover Window gives it permission and conditions to arrive here instead. That shift, even when it feels quiet or subtle, changes the capacity of everything that follows.
The work itself becomes more effective and more efficient because of the 15 minutes that preceded it. A small investment in preparation creates significantly more room for the work to land.
The final 15 minutes — the Cool-Down — exists because what happens in the session is genuine work, not a conversation you can push down and walk away from. Jumping straight from that depth back into the demands, pressures, and expectations of your external world is doing a disservice to everything you just engaged in. The Cool-Down gives the work time and space to integrate. It lets your system digest what just happened and prepare to re-enter the world, not mid-process, but settled.
Neither the Crossover Window nor the Cool-Down are meant to be bold, intense experiences. You may not consciously register them working, that’s completely normal. These are subtle, supportive conditions your system is quietly benefiting from even when your logical mind doesn’t have an outward experience of it. Your nervous system will thank you for them even if you never feel the moment it happens.
The 90 minutes isn’t about more time. It’s about the right conditions to make the work hold.
A Few Things People Ask Before Their First Visit
Do I need to know anything before I come?
No. We walk through everything together on your first visit. You don’t need to prepare anything or research anything.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes. Athletic wear is perfect.
What if I'm already working with someone else for support?
That’s common, and it’s not a conflict. We’re not a replacement for the support you already have; we work at the gap in between, the level where stress lives in the body, not just in any one part of your care. If you’re already seeing a counselor, sport psychologist, orthopedist, physical therapist, chiropractor, or anyone else on your team, we’re glad to coordinate directly with them, so the work we do supports what’s already in motion instead of duplicating it.
Which session length is right for me — 60 or 90 minutes?
The 90-minute session follows our full three-part arc: the Crossover Window, Integrated Processing, and the Cool-Down. The 60-minute session is the core work itself, without the supports on either side. Ninety minutes is our default because those supports change how effectively the work lands, but 60 minutes is available when your schedule genuinely calls for it. We’re glad to help you figure out what makes sense for where you’re starting.
When you're ready, we're here.
