Frequently asked questions

What does therapy cost?

Out of pocked rates for a session are $150. However, most clients find that their costs are significantly reduced through insurance coverage. Depending on your specific plan, you will likely only be responsible for a small co-payment at the time of your appointment.

How long is each session?

Each session is approximately 50 minutes in length, providing a dedicated window of time to focus on your growth and progress. Your therapist will ensure that this time is utilized efficiently to address your concerns while maintaining a sustainable pace for your therapeutic journey.

Am I covered by my insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans, though benefits can vary significantly between individual policies. We encourage you to reach out to us directly so we can help you navigate the details of your coverage and confirm your specific benefits.

What types of therapy do you offer?

Our therapists use science-backed approaches that are intuitively tailored to the unique needs of each client. Our work may draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and specialized trauma processing to ensure a comprehensive and effective experience.

How long does therapy last?

Consistency is key to transformation, so sessions are typically held weekly until both you and your therapist agree that moving to a bi-weekly schedule is appropriate. The total duration of therapy varies significantly based on your individual goals and the complexity of the challenges we are addressing.

What should I expect when starting therapy?

The initial phase involves a 1-2 session intake process where your therapist will ask specific questions to gain a deep understanding of your history and current needs. Once we have clearly targeted your most important challenges and established a foundation of awareness, we transition into regular therapeutic work focused on your long-term goals and purpose.
