Services
Two formats. One honest hour.
Everything here is individual psychotherapy with Daniel Sapoznick, LCSW. The only question is where the hour happens.
Walking sessions
We meet at an agreed public trailhead in Oakland or Berkeley and walk side by side for fifty-three minutes. You set the pace, including the pace of the conversation. No office, no waiting room, no clock on the wall.
- Routes chosen around what you can comfortably do
- Flat, shaded and short options always available
- Benches when a moment needs stillness
- Meeting on public walkways can create minor logistical challenges with confidentiality. While privacy clearly cannot be guaranteed, in some ways, it can be more easily safeguarded than meeting in the same office space over and over.
California telehealth
Secure video sessions for anyone located anywhere in California. Same fifty-three minutes, same work, useful when the weather turns, when the week has no margin, or when the subject matter calls for a closed door.
- Available statewide while you are physically in California
- Straightforward to alternate with walking sessions
- Keeps continuity if you move within the state
- No scheduler embedded on this site, booking happens directly
What I work with
The usual reasons people call
The weather clause. If a trail isn't workable, the session moves to secure video that week. Keeping the rhythm matters more than keeping the format.
Practicalities
Fees, insurance and scheduling
$200 for a 53-minute walking session and $185 for a53-minute online session, with a limited number of sliding-scale spots subject to availability and financial need. The initial phone consultation is free. I don't take insurance, and I provide superbills and invoices for HSA and FSA use.
