  • We chose not to panel with insurance companies.

    There are absolutely benefits for us to join insurance panels - they’re the number one referral for our industry.

    As there are benefits for us not to- they dictate how we practice.

    The same is for the client: there are benefits to work with an in-network provider - their insurance company covers the cost…. however, that is not always the case

    -clients do pay the contracted amount if they have not met their deductible

    -clients do pay if the insurance company does not find the diagnostic code submitted worthy of coverage

    Why would a client use private-pay therapy when they have insurance:

    -greater privacy and confidentiality

    • yes, insurance companies have access to the clients diagnosis, treatment details, session and billing information, and in some cases clinical notes.

    • this information does become a part of the client’s medical record when it is being billed though insurance.

    -more personalized and integrative treatment

    • many insurance plans will not cover couple’s sessions, or sessions where a client wants to rebuild a relationship with a friend or family member.

    -flexible pacing and length of care

    • some insurance companies have a cap on how many sessions an individual can participate in

    -full focus on the client’s goals- not insurance requirements

    We believe therapy works best when it is guided by what you need and want, not external limitations.

  • We operate as a private-pay mental health practice.

    • 50 minute sessions are $185 for individuals.

    • 50 minute sessions are $200 for couples, family, or any other setting where it is the client plus one or more individuals present.

    • We do have a set amount of appointments available to offer sliding scale fee.

    • We do provide superbills upon request for clients who which to seek out-of-network reimbursement.

  • Working with us feels grounded, supportive, and collaborative.

    Clients often describe therapy as:

    • Safe and non-judgmental

    • Structured yet flexible

    • Focused on both emotional insight and body-based awareness

    • Empowering rather than overwhelming
