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.
