We are an out-of-network practice, which means we are not contracted with insurance companies and do not bill insurance directly.
However, many insurance plans include out-of-network benefits. This means your insurance company may reimburse you for a portion of each session fee after you’ve paid.
Many clients are reimbursed 60 - 90% of the session fee once their out of network deductible is met. We can either submit claims on your behalf or provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and make sure it feels like a good fit.
We’ll briefly review your intake paperwork, including important policies and how your privacy is protected. From there, the focus is on you; what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what your goals for therapy are.
We’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your life experiences and patterns, and we’ll listen with empathy and without judgment.
If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule our next session.
Therapy is a space where you can vent, gain new perspectives, challenge old patterns, and build practical tools. It can feel relieving, insightful, and sometimes uncomfortable — all at the same time. -
We usually recommend starting with weekly sessions while we’re getting to know each other. That’s often the best frequency to see noticeable progress.
As you reach your therapeutic goals, we can space sessions out to every other week or even once a month. -
The length of therapy is different for everyone and depends on your goals, the patterns we’re working on, and the level of support you’re looking for.
Some clients come in with a specific challenge and benefit from short-term, focused work over a few months. Others choose longer term therapy to explore deeper patterns, strengthen self trust, and create lasting change.
We’ll regularly check in about your progress and make collaborative decisions about pacing and frequency. Therapy isn’t open ended by default, it’s intentional and tailored to what feels helpful and effective for you. -
We kindly ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session. If less notice is given, you are responsible for the full session fee.
We understand that life happens, so every client gets one “freebie.” If you give less than 24 hours notice, you won’t be charged the first time. After that, the policy applies as normal.
If you’re running late to a session, just let us know. Please note that arriving more than 15 minutes late may require rescheduling and being charged the full session fee.
