What to expect when you reach out 

In person in Chapel Hill, or online for North Carolina residents (Idaho and Vermont through J Bass).

1. Reach out

Call, email or send the form below. Tell us a little about what's bringing you in, and we'll help you find a clinician who fits.

2. Your first sessions

You'll fill out intake forms online ahead of time. The first sessions are for getting to know you: your history, what brings you in, and what you want from our work together.

3. At your pace

Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly or every other week. Over time they can space out as it makes sense for you.

Supervision, workshops & CE

The Nurture · Play · Structure Model

At times we all feel as though our lives are out of balance. Developed here at Trinitas by Phillip Bass, the NPS Model looks at balance across three parts of life, Nurture, Play and Structure, to help you recognize your patterns, build on your strengths and find balance in your life.
