A+CBT+NLP stands for Applied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Neuro-Linguistic Programming—but what it really means is practical tools for real-life change. These practices lend individualized plans with mindset coaching, science-backed strategies, and creative practices to help you move through what you define as a challenge, to shift old patterns, and to feel more grounded and present in your day-to-day life.

Learning yourself in this way enlivens the conscious spirit.

Personal and relational support may be useful for people who are:

• Moving through a transition or period of uncertainty

• Reconsidering a recurring belief, habit, or relationship pattern

• Experiencing a creative block or loss of direction

• Developing greater self-knowledge and self-leadership

• Seeking more conscious ways to communicate or make decisions

• Trying to integrate insight into daily life

• Navigating change with a partner, family, friend group, or other close relationship

Conscious Design supports independent artists, creatives, founders, small brands, and organizations that want their language, structure, visual expression, and audience experience to more accurately reflect what they mean.

No. ACBTNLP does not provide psychotherapy, psychological diagnosis, medical treatment, or emergency mental-health care.

The work is educational, collaborative, creative, and forward-facing. It may complement care from licensed medical or mental-health professionals, but it does not replace that care.

You are always encouraged to work with appropriately licensed professionals when your needs extend beyond the scope of this practice.

Begin with an Initial Session.

You do not need to select a modality or arrive with a perfectly defined goal. The first conversation helps clarify what is happening, what kind of support would be useful, and whether a single session, focused engagement, extended engagement, relational format, or another resource is most appropriate.

People seeking creative or organizational guidance may instead begin with a Design Mapping Session.

The Initial Session is a 60-minute conversation covering:

• What brings you to the practice

• The concern, transition, pattern, or possibility you want to explore

• Relevant context

• What you would like to understand, change, practice, or create

• Resources and approaches that may be appropriate

• Recommended next steps

An Initial Session is complete in itself. There is no obligation to continue.

Initial Sessions are $125.

Focused Support consists of four 60-minute appointments over approximately eight weeks.

It is designed around one defined concern, transition, relationship pattern, creative block, or self-leadership goal. The space between appointments allows time to observe patterns, practice new approaches, and discover how the work functions in daily life.

A commitment to Focused Support is $480. Payment may be divided into two installments.

The installment arrangement divides the payment; it does not change the commitment to the complete four-session engagement.

Extended Support consists of eight 60-minute appointments over approximately twelve weeks.

It may be appropriate when several concerns overlap, when a longstanding pattern requires more observation, or when someone wants additional time for practice, adjustment, and integration.

Extended Support is $920. Payment may be divided into installments.

The installment arrangement divides the payment; it does not change the commitment to the complete eight-session engagement.

Clients may be invited to use a reflection, practice, creative prompt, communication exercise, or other agreed-upon resource between appointments.

Between-session communication is limited to scheduling, brief clarification, and the exchange of agreed-upon materials. It does not include ongoing coaching by text or email.

If something substantial arises between appointments, it may be held for the next session or addressed by scheduling an additional appointment.

Monthly Continuation is available after completing Focused or Extended Support.

It includes one reserved 60-minute appointment each month for continued reflection, integration, or attention to something new. It is intended for people who no longer need a concentrated series but value consistent contact with the work.

Monthly Continuation is $115 per month. Unused appointments do not roll over to future months.

Relational Support brings two to five people into a structured conversation concerning a shared relationship or situation.

This may include partners, family members, friends, friend groups, or other people seeking more conscious communication and mutual understanding.

The work may address:

• Communication habits

• Shared transitions

• Recurring relational patterns

• Expectations and boundaries

• Repair after misunderstanding

• Collaborative decision-making

• Ways of recognizing and responding to one another more clearly

Relational Support is not couples therapy, family therapy, legal mediation, or crisis intervention.

Relational Support sessions are 60 minutes, including two people for $175, and 90 minutes for three or more participants for $225.

Yes. Seminars, workshops, facilitated conversations, and special programs may be created for creative communities, small businesses, organizations, and existing groups.

Programs may address consciousness-informed communication, creative intelligence, self-leadership, language, human-centered design, conscious use of AI, meditation, or another agreed-upon subject.

Custom events begin at $500. Most range from $500–$2,500 or more, depending on preparation, customization, duration, number of participants, materials, travel, and follow-up resources.

Use the inquiry form to request a proposal.

Conscious Design considers what a creative work, offering, or organization communicates through its language, structure, visual form, decisions, and relationships.

It is not limited to choosing colors, fonts, or promotional language. The process begins by examining meaning:

• What is this work?

• Why does it exist?

• Who enters into a relationship with it?

• What does its current form communicate?

• Where are its meaning and expression aligned?

• Where are they contradicting one another?

Conscious Design may inform brand language, offer architecture, creative direction, websites, audience touchpoints, artist materials, campaigns, internal systems, or the thoughtful use of CRI in creative work.

The Conscious Design Mapping Session is an introductory engagement for an artist, creative, founder, small brand, or organization with one defined area to examine.

It includes:

• A pre-session questionnaire

• Review of one existing brand, offering, webpage, campaign, or creative direction

• A 75-minute working session

• Identification of central meaning and points of dissonance

• A written Design Direction Map

• Recommended next steps

The session is $275. If further work is appropriate, you may request a proposal for a defined project or ongoing creative partnership.

Yes. Defined projects may include brand language, messaging systems, offer structure, website content, creative direction, visual identity refinement, artist materials, campaigns, or communication systems.

Projects are individually scoped around a defined outcome, deliverables, schedule, responsibilities, and revision process. Project engagements begin at $1,500.

A Conscious Design Mapping Session may be credited toward a larger project when the project agreement is signed within 30 days.

Yes. Ongoing creative partnerships are available to clients who need consistent strategic, language, design, or implementation support.

Retainers begin at $1,500 per month and generally require an initial three-month commitment. The exact scope, monthly capacity, communication process, and deliverables are established through a written agreement.

Retainers reserve access and creative capacity. Unused monthly capacity does not roll over unless the agreement states otherwise.

A limited number of reduced-fee placements are available through a short, private application.

Reduced-fee availability depends on current practice capacity. Applicants are not required to provide an exhaustive account of personal hardship, and applying does not guarantee placement.

Payment plans for Focused and Extended Support are available to all clients and do not require an accessibility application.

Personal, relational, and creative information is treated with care and discretion.

Because ACBTNLP is not a medical practice, its services are not governed as medical treatment under HIPAA. Privacy expectations, communication boundaries, and record practices are explained in the service agreement.

Design clients may request a mutual nondisclosure agreement when projects involve private business, intellectual property, unreleased creative work, or confidential organizational information.

Confidentiality may be limited when disclosure is required by law or when there is an immediate concern involving safety. Specific terms are provided before the work begins.

Appointments may be rescheduled or canceled with at least 24 hours’ notice.

Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed without notice, are generally charged or counted as used. Exceptions may be considered for emergencies and circumstances outside a client’s reasonable control.

Appointments included in Focused or Extended Support must be used within the period stated in the service agreement unless another arrangement is made in writing.

ACBTNLP is not an emergency or crisis-response service.

If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. In the United States, you may also call or text 988 for immediate crisis support.

Once immediate safety and appropriate clinical support are established, ACBTNLP may be able to contribute complementary educational or relational work within its professional scope.

For personal support, book an Initial Session.

For support involving two to five people, book the appropriate Relational Support appointment according to the number of participants.

For creative or organizational work, book a Conscious Design Mapping Session.

For seminars, custom group work, defined design projects, or ongoing retainers, submit an inquiry.
