If you are interested in using your insurance to cover a portion of the session fee, we recommend reaching out to your insurance company and asking them if they cover out-of-network mental health services, and if so, at what rate they reimburse. It is also helpful to know if you have a deductible that you have to meet before your insurance company will provide reimbursement. Additionally, if you have a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA), you may often use this to help pay for your mental health services.

We customize therapy to each individual client, and therefore can’t predict how many sessions it will take for each client to reach their goals. We have worked with some clients that come in with one specific issue they want to address, and when these clients are ready and able to complete homework assignments each week, they tend to move through therapy relatively quickly. In other cases, clients may have more complex challenges and/or busy lives, and setting aside even 50 minutes a week to come to therapy is a feat for them. For these clients, therapy may take a longer time. We will work with you at your pace, and our hope is to help you reach your goals and to reap the benefits of therapy as quickly as possible.

In order to provide effective therapy, we ask our clients to attend sessions weekly at the start of therapy. Once they have made progress and have met their goals, we will reduce the frequency of sessions in preparation for wrapping up therapy, at which point, we will invite clients to return if they ever need additional support or a “tune-up.”
