Sessions are generally 50 minutes each at a pace of one session per week, however multiple sessions per week can be utilized. Most sessions are held virtually, but if you are in the Toledo, OH area we can connect in person.
Each session starts with a catch-up of your progress. Then, we dive into the programs next steps, however, if we need to go down a rabbit trail or two, we have flexibility to do so. If we need to spend more or less time on an area, we can. My (Joe) goal is that you experience results every session as it is important that you feel good about consistently taking steps in the right direction.

Joe helped me to think about creative ways to use my skills and interests. I felt hopeful and empowered after meeting and taking time to think through the assignments he gave.
