FLEXIBILITY IN ACTION
How Flexible Care Works
College Student: Virtual sessions during semester, bi-weekly during exams, in-person at home breaks, monthly maintenance in summer. Flexibility enabled continuous support through changing schedules and stress levels.
Working Young Adult: Bi-weekly evenings normally, weekly during crises, monthly during busy work periods, occasional extended sessions for trauma processing. Flexibility adapted therapy to work demands and evolving needs.
High School Student: Weekly after-school sessions, virtual sessions during vacations, bi-weekly during finals. Flexibility maintained consistent care despite schedule and financial changes.
Young Adult in Transition: Switched between in-person and virtual through college moves, weekly intensive support during job search, reduced frequency when stabilized. Flexibility supported long-term continuity through major life transitions.
