Freedom Begins Here—Start Your Flight to Lasting Recovery

Finally He Flew unites time-tested 12-Step principles with evidence-based DBT skills and targeted mental health education. Rather than focusing solely on abstinence, we explore emotional triggers, thought patterns, and relational skills so clients gain practical tools for everyday life. Sessions combine accountability with compassionate guidance drawn from lived experience, offering worksheets, mindfulness practices, and real-world homework. This integrated structure addresses root causes, builds resilience, and sets the foundation for lasting recovery beyond the coaching relationship.

Coaching is available wherever you are in the United States. Most clients meet via secure video conferencing, allowing face-to-face interaction without travel. If you prefer, phone sessions or in-person meetings in California’s Central Valley can be arranged. Each session lasts roughly sixty minutes and includes emailed worksheets and follow-up support. Between appointments, you’ll have optional text or email check-ins for accountability. This flexible format ensures you receive consistent guidance while fitting recovery work into your current schedule.

Your initial meeting begins with a compassionate conversation about your history, current challenges, and personal strengths. We conduct a brief assessment to identify emotional triggers, coping habits, and recovery goals. Together we outline a practical action plan that blends 12-Step commitments, DBT techniques, and lifestyle changes you can start immediately. You’ll receive introductory worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and a schedule for follow-up check-ins. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with clarity, realistic goals, and renewed hope for change.

Absolutely. Coaching is designed to complement, not replace, clinical therapy or medical care. With your written permission, we coordinate with therapists, psychiatrists, primary physicians, or treatment facilities to ensure a unified recovery plan. We can share progress notes, attend joint meetings, and align homework assignments so everyone is on the same page. This collaborative approach prevents conflicting advice, strengthens accountability, and provides you with a seamless support network focused on your long-term sobriety and mental wellness.

While every client progresses differently, most individuals benefit from a twelve-week commitment that allows time to build new habits, practice DBT skills, and complete selected 12-Step work. Many choose to extend to six months for deeper emotional healing and life-skills reinforcement. We review your goals every four weeks and adjust frequency or duration as needed. Remember, recovery is a process, not an event, so we tailor timelines to your pace while keeping momentum and accountability strong.

Our current rate is $125 per sixty-minute session, billed weekly or in discounted packages of six or twelve sessions. Packages include priority email support, progress tracking, and additional resources at no extra charge. Sliding-scale options are available for clients experiencing financial hardship; we never want cost to block recovery. Payment can be made via credit card, ACH, or HSA funds. All transactions are secure and receipts are provided for potential insurance reimbursement or tax documentation.

Yes. While standard business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM-5:00 PM Pacific, we hold a limited number of evening slots and occasional Saturday mornings to accommodate work or family commitments. Let us know your availability during the intake call and we’ll do our best to reserve a time that supports consistent attendance. If your schedule changes, sessions can be rescheduled with twenty-four hours’ notice. Flexibility ensures recovery remains a priority without adding unnecessary stress to your calendar.

In many cases, involving trusted family or friends can strengthen accountability and improve communication. With your consent, we can invite a support person to join part of a session to learn DBT skills, discuss boundaries, or celebrate progress. We also offer dedicated family coaching sessions focused on education and healthy support strategies. Together we determine the level of involvement that benefits your recovery without compromising confidentiality or autonomy, ensuring everyone works toward the shared goal of lasting wellness.

All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a reliable internet connection. We use a HIPAA-compliant video platform that runs in any modern browser—no downloads required. For the best experience, choose a quiet, private space and consider using headphones for clearer audio. Before your first appointment you’ll receive a test link to confirm your camera, microphone, and connection. If technical issues arise, we can switch to phone or reschedule without any additional fees.

Getting started is straightforward. Complete the brief contact form or call our office to schedule a complimentary fifteen-minute consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, answer initial questions, and determine if our program fits your needs. If you’re ready, we’ll send digital intake paperwork, secure payment options, and a link to book your first session. From there, you’ll receive welcome materials and preparatory worksheets so you can arrive at session one focused and empowered to begin your recovery journey.
