I work with you as long as therapy is helping and you may end therapy any time you wish. Because the type of therapy I do is intended to make big change at the roots of your challenging experiences, it tends to be long term. Patterns that you’ve been engaging with for many years can also take years to unlearn.

The cost of counseling depends on what service you need. Currently, my full fees are:$200 for individual therapy$250 for relationship therapyClients who pay my full fee (or more, if sustainable) subsidize my sliding scale spots, which are reserved for people who would otherwise not be able to access therapy at my full fee.Sliding scale services are subject to availability and are primarily (though not exclusively) reserved for folks with multiple marginalizations. If you need a sliding scale spot, please feel free to reach out.

Unfortunately, I can’t take insurance at this time.Many of my clients use Superbills, essentially therapy receipts, to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance company. While I can’t guarantee that your insurance will reimburse you, many of my clients use this route successfully. Please check with your insurance.I also accept FSA and HSA cards.

I want therapy to be sustainable for you. I reserve sliding-scale spots for folks who would otherwise be unable to afford therapy at my full fee.Sliding-scale fees depend on how many sliding-scale clients I’m seeing at any given time and what you can afford. Please let me know what fee is sustainable for you when you reach out.

Unless we explicitly decide otherwise, sessions will be 50 minutes and start on the hour. I meet weekly or more with clients, and don't do biweekly therapy.

Cancellations must be made more than 24 hours ahead of your session time. I offer reschedules within the same week when possible, so you don't lose out on therapy. Any cancellations made within 24 hours that cannot be rescheduled will have the full session fee charged.All clients get four planned cancellations per calendar year.

When you end therapy is up to you. If you’re thinking about stopping therapy, you can let me know at any time. I prefer to talk about ending therapy with my clients so we can end the work intentionally.
