Irene Kraegel, PsyD
Getting started is easy.
The first step is a quick, free, no-commitment phone call to help ensure that I’m a good fit for what you’re looking for. If you decide to move forward, we’ll schedule a time to meet (either in-person or virtually), and I’ll send you a link to complete some brief paperwork online.
You can expect your first session to include collection of background history to help establish a common understanding between us of your concerns and goals. From there, we’ll work collaboratively to ensure you are feeling well-supported on your journey towards healing!
You can schedule by clicking this button, or reach out to me directly via the contact information in the footer.
-
You’ll fill out some intake paperwork electronically ahead of time. At our first meeting, I’ll ask questions about your background to help me get to know you and find out more about your goals for therapy. You’re welcome to ask me questions too.
-
I’ll reserve your day & time for your follow-up sessions, unless you have an irregular schedule that requires flexibility. While most clients choose to meet weekly, it is sometimes an option to meet more or less frequently. I will check in regularly to ensure our work together is beneficial for you, and you are free to stop at any time.
-
Per hour fees are $175 for therapy and $150 for mindfulness coaching. As an Out-of-Network (or “self-pay”) therapist, I will provide you with a Superbill that you can share with your insurance company - check with them ahead of time to see if they will reimburse you for part of the cost, which is due at the time of service.
-
My office is located at the corner of Hall Street & US-131, on the first floor of an old Steelcase factory described as “the greenest office building in Grand Rapids.” I’m all about hygge, so you’ll find natural light, comfortable seating, and coffee/tea waiting for you at the door. The address is 401 Hall St SW. I can’t wait to show you around!
-
I check my messages regularly, and commit to be responsive - within business hours! If you experience a mental health crisis, your best source of support will be a crisis center that is staffed to help out 24/7. This might be a local psychiatric urgent care center, a hospital Emergency Department, or the national 988 crisis line. If I have availability, I’m happy to fit you in for an extra session as well to help you get regrounded.
-
I save your therapy time just for you! If you are unable to attend as scheduled, please cancel at least 24 hours prior to your appointment - otherwise, the full session fee will be charged. I’m easy to get in contact with by phone (616-202-2233), email (contact@dwellpsychological.com), or via the client portal.
-
I’m available for in-person therapy & mindfulness coaching appointments on Thursdays in my Grand Rapids office, and available for virtual appointments (for clients in Michigan & all PsyPact states) Monday through Friday.
