Welcome. I am glad you are here!


Before you write, please read this page. It will save both of us time, and it will tell you quickly whether I am the right person to contact.
If you already know you want to begin, the clearest next step is a 90-minute intake. That is a real appointment, not a screening call.



Book your 90-minute intake:

Under certain circumstances, I also offer a 15-minute call. I keep the scope of this call narrow on purpose. It is for someone who has decided to start therapy and still has one specific concern in the way. It is not a session, is not an overview of how I work, and it’s not meant to provide you with the details of my practice. Those answers are already on the site.

If you meet the criteria below and complete the form, I will contact you to schedule that phone call.


Please use the form only if:

  • You have read the Phone Call Prep and FAQ
  • You have reviewed the fees on the My Practice page:
  • You can attend appointments during standard business hours. I see clients Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • You can meet weekly
  • You do not need me to bill insurance. I do not take insurance. I can provide a superbill.
  • You want psychotherapy and live in California. Coaching and consultation can be available more broadly.
  • You are not in crisis. If you are, please call 911 or 988. My office does not provide a crisis service.

A call is a good fit if:

  • You are an adult looking for help with trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, dissociation, or ADHD-related dysregulation
  • You can come weekly, on weekdays, during business hours
  • You have one question that is keeping you from booking the intake.
  • You can answer yes to every question on the form
I personally read every form that meets those criteria. Please note: In order to keep room for people I can help, I do not reply if you’ve checked any answers in the form with “no”.

Thank You!

If you've answered "yes" to the above questions, it's likely that we would be a good fit. 

Every day, I receive a very large number of inquiries from people who wish to become patients in my practice.

Please note that due to this volume I'm unable to respond if you have clicked "no" on any item.

Kind regards, 

Michael G. Quirke L.M.F.T.
