Please read before you book! Things are a little different right now.

Start with this question: Are you currently an active client that is currently seeing Olivia on a regular basis?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yup: I have dedicated appointment time, but I have a conflict and need to move some of my pre-scheduled appointments."

Sounds great. You can use the calendar to find an open time and select your preferred way to meet (phone, virtual, or in person).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Maybe? I don’t have a regular appointment time. Normally, I use the online calendar to book appointments when I need to."

That makes sense! Normally, you would be welcome to book all the appointments you like, but things are going to be a little different starting January 2025 (see below for descriptive details).

1) If your last session was after September 2024, go ahead and check the calendar to book your next session in the way that works for you.

2) If your last session was before September 2024, please email Olivia at olivia@oliviascobie.com to discuss. If you’re looking for a few sessions to work through a specific issue, she may be able to see you. If you’re hoping to resume ongoing regular sessions, it might not be possible for her to accommodate that right now. However, she will explore options with you and, if necessary, she'll help you connect with a new provider that she thinks you will love.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No: I’m here to book my first session."

Unfortunately, I’m not accepting new clients at this time and have paused the waitlist. However, you’re welcome to reach out to Olivia at olivia@oliviascobie.com for a personalized referral to another great provider.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ummm... I’m looking at this calendar, but I can’t find an appointment. What’s going on?"

Yeah... it’s a bit tricky right now. The calendar has shrunk while Olivia focuses on completing her dissertation research. The previous schedule led directly to burnout and had to be adjusted to guard against exhaustion more effectively.

This means that as of January 2025, the practice has shifted and is now primarily designed to offer a small group of clients focused care, each with a dedicated, regular bi-weekly appointment time. It's not clear how long Olivia will maintain this schedule, but for now, it is planned this way until June 2025.
It's completely understandable if these limits feel disappointing or overwhelming. Here are some options for next steps.

1) Check back regularly: Cancellations happen all the time. When they do, new times will appear in the online calendar.

2) Join the waitlist (for active clients): Olivia fills open spots in the order people sign up.

3) Request a dedicated bi-weekly spot: Reach out to Olivia to explore this possibility, but unfortunately, she may not be able to accommodate this right now.

4) Book a transition support call: If trying to catch a cancellation is becoming too frustrating, and you feel like you need a provider with more current availability, Olivia will happily help you transition to another provider who can better meet your needs.

Please read before you book! Things are a little different right now.

Start with this question: Are you currently seeing Olivia for supervision or consultation?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yup: I'm currently part of a supervision group and want to add myself to some upcoming group sessions."

Awesome. Click on the dates you are looking for (please stick to your regular day/time), and I'll see you soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sure am: I'm here to book or reschedule my next one-on-one appointment."

Great! Please find an open time in the calendar and book using the 'Individual Supervision/Consultation' button.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes, I am: I have only attended group appointments, but something has come up that I need extra time to discuss. Can I book a one-on-one appointment?"

Of course! Please find an open time in the calendar and book using the 'Individual Supervision/Consultation' button. If you and a fellow group member are trying to book a dyad appointment, book the time you want using the 'Individual Supervision/Consultation' button and email Olivia to update the appointment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Definitely: I've only seen you one-on-one and am just now realizing there is a group option. Can I join?"

Unfortunately not. The supervision groups are also by invitation only and currently closed to external registration.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Not yet: I came here looking to book my first appointment."

At this time, online booking for supervision or consultation is not open for new folks. Instead, please reach out to Olivia at olivia@oliviascobie.com.
