Section 1: Getting Started

​

Do you have availability?

 

Yes. I am currently accepting new clients.

 

The first step is a brief 3–5 minute application. If it feels aligned, you can schedule a complimentary 30-minute consultation call.

​

Who do you work with?

 

I work with adults who are thoughtful, high-functioning, and ready for depth-oriented change — not just symptom management.

 

Common concerns include:

 

  • Chronic anxiety or overthinking

  • Burnout

  • Relationship strain

  • High-achiever stress

  • Feeling “successful” externally but unsettled internally

 

If you’re tired of talking in circles and ready to shift patterns at the root, this may be a good fit.

​

Section 2: The Therapy Structure

​

How long are sessions?

 

Individual sessions are 60 minutes.

 

For clients in the Monthly Care Plan, sessions are typically held twice per month to create consistent momentum and measurable progress.

​

What are the ways to work with us?

 

There are two options:

​

1. The Monthly Care Plan (Structured & Ongoing)

 

Designed for clients ready for consistent, outcome-focused progress.

 

Includes:

 

  • Up to two 60-minute sessions per month

  • Access to curated somatic resources

  • Bi-weekly integrative skills group

  • Priority scheduling

 

Investment: $450/month

Commitment: 6 months (with a 30-day trial)

 

This is the most effective structure for lasting change.​

 

2. Individual Sessions (Flexible Option)

 

For clients who prefer more flexibility or are not seeking an ongoing care container.

 

  • 60-minute session

  • $250 per session

  • Superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement

 

While this option offers flexibility, meaningful progress typically requires consistency.

​

Section 3: Insurance and Investment

​

Do you accept insurance?

​

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly.

​

This allows our work to be guided by your needs — not diagnostic requirements or session limits imposed by insurance companies.

​

Why are you out-of-network?

 

Insurance companies require diagnoses, treatment timelines, and documentation that often prioritize cost-control over depth.

 

Working out-of-network protects your privacy and allows us to focus on meaningful clinical outcomes rather than quotas.

​

How do I file for reimbursement?

 

You will receive a monthly superbill with the appropriate clinical codes.

 

You can submit this to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

 

Many PPO plans reimburse 50–80% of session fees, though this varies by plan.

​

How much will I get reimbursed?

 

Reimbursement depends on your individual plan.

 

Before starting, I recommend calling your insurance company and asking:

 

  • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

  • What percentage is reimbursed?

  • Is there a deductible?

  • Is preauthorization required?

 

You can also reference the Insurance Guide for more help

​

Can I use HSA or FSA?

 

Yes. Therapy is a qualified medical expense and can be paid using HSA or FSA funds.
