I do not take insurance but do use a sliding scale based on family size and income.

Email jennifer@jenniferwellscoach.com to schedule a free 30 minute session (phone or Zoom). Use this time to share details, ask questions, and learn more about how coaching may be helpful.

When working with a client, if they feel it could be helpful to have a partner attend one or more sessions, this is an option.

Everyone is different and each client comes to coaching for a variety of reasons. There is no set amount of time for coaching and there is also no obligation to continue coaching once a client, the coach, or both sense it’s time to wrap up or take a pause.

All invoices contain the option to pay by credit card, Venmo, or PayPal.

Payments are due prior to appointments. Invoices are sent out the week before sessions take place. Once monthly invoices are also an option.

24 hours notice is required in order to receive a refund or credit, with the exception of an emergency or illness. If a session is missed and does not fall within the parameters above, the full session amount will be due.

I have very limited availability for in-person sessions (Cincinnati). I do try to recommend professionals with in-person options if possible.

There are several reasons why I focus on virtual sessions:

I am able to support people from anywhere in the US and schedules and time zones permitting, around the world.

I have found that individuals and families appreciate the flexibility and options virtual sessions offer in terms of scheduling.

If a client moves within or outside of the United States, they do not have to start over with another coach.

My carbon footprint is smaller when I don’t make the 40 minute roundtrip drive to my external office, and this matters to me.

Yes! If our schedules and time zones allow us to meet, we can continue to work together.

In my experience, there does not currently seem to be consensus around the best language to use when it comes to autism. Some clients prefer to say “I’m autistic” (i.e., identity-first language) while others prefer to say, “I’m on the spectrum” or “I’m a person who is on the spectrum” (i.e., person-first language). Some clients don’t want to connect to autism at all, don’t have a preference, or just received a diagnosis and aren’t sure about what they prefer. Others use the term neurodivergent but some people dislike this word. When it comes to language, I ask each client for their preference and try my best to remember it during sessions. I understand that language is powerful, personal, and can change over time.

For non-college students, I meet with clients once per week or bi-weekly, for 30 or 60 minutes. Some clients start off with longer or more frequent sessions and move to shorter or bi-weekly sessions after progress has been made but support is still desired.

I meet with college students weekly, once or twice per week for a total of 60 - 90 minutes. If a student is doing well and wants to see how things go with less support, we can adjust the amount as needed.

Although I have an advanced degree, training and professional experience in counseling, I am not currently practicing counseling. I am trained as a life coach via an ICF accredited program and this can be very helpful when managing the emotional side of executive function and communication or challenges in other areas. However, if a client is in need of a licensed therapist/counselor, I will encourage them to seek that form of support. Further, if I feel a client’s needs fall outside my scope of practice, I will discuss this with the client (or guardian, if they are under the age of 18) and support them in finding someone who can meet their needs.

Regular Rates

My current hourly rate for new clients is $125.

Sessions that are 30 minutes are half of the hourly rate.
