About

Dig Down Deep™ is a coaching, consulting, and counseling firm - based on marriage & family therapy, health coaching, and sport psychology - that helps people work through mental, emotional, and behavioral change to live authentic, purposeful, and fulfilling lives.

Why

If you feel stressed personally, relationally, or professionally - and want or need help through a phase or stage of your life - I can help you identify and treat your core issues which is critical for achieving more adequate, satisfying, and productive relational adjustments.

How

Family Systems Therapy focuses on relationships. I treat your concerns, issues, and problems in the context of your personal and professional circles, squares, and triangles by navigating the web of connections that shape and support your life. The dynamics of the relationships in your genogram and ecomap drive the work I do with you.

Free Consultation

I offer a free consultation to discover if we are a match for psychotherapy. If we do not align, I will provide you with three referrals. If we are a fit for you to do deep work with me, each of us will learn something profound on your journey.

First Session

I provide a biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment in a comfortable and confidential setting that allows you to share, receive feedback, and collaborate with me on a treatment plan that helps you grow. 

Three Level Treatment

Each of us is a performer, whether it be as a spouse, parent, child, student, teacher, coach, employee, leader, entrepreneur, actor, artist, athlete, or recovering addict. We just may be dormant not working a muscle that allows us to tap into the full potential of our true-self.

Group Psychotherapy

Group Therapy is a powerful modality for behavioral change. Each group integrates Art Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Empty Chair, Guided Imagery, and Psychodrama. I charge $20 for a 90-minute group session. Only six people are allowed in each group.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®

The MBTI® is a personality inventory that provides information about the way you think, communicate, and interact in all of your relationships. I charge $180 for the instrument including a 60-minute session to review your report. The MBTI® is a helpful tool for self-awareness and improvement that supplements learning and development in therapy.

Strong Interest Inventory®

The Strong® is a career assessment that provides robust insight into your interests, and what motivates you in the workplace, to help you consider potential jobs and your educational path. I charge $180 for the inventory including a 60-minute session to review your report. The Strong® is a helpful tool which delivers effective results that contribute to your future success.

Teletherapy

I offer private HIPAA secure online counseling for people in California. I charge $60 for a 60-minute individual, couple, or family session and $20 for a 90-minute group session. Only six people are allowed in each group.

Consultation & Coaching

If you live outside the Coachella Valley, I offer private consultation & coaching services by phone or online. I charge $180 for a 60-minute consultation & coaching session which is different from the deeper in-person work of psychotherapy because I do not treat anxiety, mood, or personality disorders in this capacity. A consultation & coaching intensive includes referrals and resources toward working on a specific problem or creating a concrete plan to move forward on a more complex issue.

Consultation & Coaching

First Responders

I offer free and private HIPAA secure online group counseling for first responders in California, Monday-Friday. The women's group is 8a-9:30a. The men's group is 8p-9:30p. Only six people are allowed in each group.

Digology™

"A fist pump is a euphoric phenomenon after "X" tapped into C (coping skill), that helped "X" manage B (block), which allowed "X" to obtain A (accomplishment). A person must learn how to assertively adapt, improvise, and overcome episodes of adversity, conflict, and turmoil by mentally, emotionally, and physically enduring and persevering through inescapable resistance in order to thrive. Athletes must dig down deep in the heat of competition to win; People must dig down deep in the game of life to succeed. The deeper we dig, the higher we soar." © - Kirby Maus

The Wise and Foolish Builders

"As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete." - Luke 6:47-49 (NIV)

Sport & Life in Psychotherapy

"We play by the rules. We show up. We are teachable. We are coachable. We warm up. We ask questions. We listen. We set a goal. We plan. We focus. We execute. We practice. We do our homework. We do our best. We crawl. We walk. We run. We have fun. We slip. We trip. We fall. We get dirty. We play hard. We keep score. We attack. We defend. We get knocked down. We pick ourselves up. We take timeouts. We pivot. We take risks. We get uncomfortable. We feel. We resist. We breathe. We press on. We do brave and courageous things. We sweat. We finish. We win or lose. We laugh and cry. We shake hands and hug. We reflect. We learn. We grow. We are grateful for the experience. We move on. We don't have to be good to play. We just need to dig down deep." © - Kirby Maus
