Question 1

What is the cost of therapy?

Accepted Answer

The cost of counseling services varies depending on the type of service you need. Currently, my full fees are:

$200 for individual therapy
$250 for relationship therapy

Clients 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.

Question 2

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Do you have a sliding scale?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How often will we meet and how long are sessions?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What issues can you help with?

Accepted Answer

I help people navigate:

Anxiety
Depression
Shame
People-pleasing tendencies
Codependency and moving towards interdependency
Gender and sexuality exploration
Polyamory and open relationships
School or work stress
Family dynamics
Intergenerational trauma
Early childhood abuse and neglect
Low self-esteem
Activism and burnout
Kink and sex exploration
Self trust and intuition

This is a non-exhaustive list. If you don’t see your focus listed above, but think we may be a good match, please reach out. I can confirm whether or not my training and experience might be a good fit.

Question 6

How long should I expect to be in therapy?

Accepted Answer

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. I’m happy to work with you as long as you feel therapy is helping.

Question 7

How do I know when to end therapy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancellations must be made more than 24 hours ahead of your session time. Any cancellations made within 24 hours will have the full session fee charged.

All clients get five planned cancellations per calendar year.

Question 9

What are the next steps if I think I want to work with you?

Accepted Answer

Schedule your free 30 minute phone consultation here and we can feel out whether or not we’re a good match.
