We offer individual, couples, and group therapy. Although we don't provide formal family therapy, if you are interested in inviting a family member to join in a session,  we are happy to facilitate this.

What type of therapy do you provide?

Our perspective on short-term vs. long-term therapy is this: what do YOU need? Many people who are ready to do the work can start to see real change in their lives between 10-20 sessions. This may mean you’ve met your treatment goals and you transition out of therapy or to a lower frequency model of monthly check-ins. Some people are looking for a long-term therapist to build a relationship and support through many areas of their life or want to process childhood and psychodynamic relationships that may take much longer. What’s most important is that you get what YOU need, not what someone else tells you you need. There’s no room for backseat driving here.

How long should therapy last?

Therapy is like working out. We know that it takes maintaining and going to the gym on a routine basis for the best results.

A personal trainer creates an effective training program to get your body in shape, designed just for you. Your trainer teaches you proper form for each exercise to optimize results and they make it clear that change comes from routine daily effort. The time you spend with a personal trainer is not the cure, but rather it’s the combined effort of those sessions plus the work you do outside of sessions which get results.

A therapist works in a similar way. They create an effective training program for your mind that is designed just for you, with your specific goals in mind. Your therapist spends time in session to identify the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that shape your life. They’ll listen for patterns to figure out what’s working, what’s not, and come up with a plan that will help you make positive changes. You’ll learn valuable insights about how your mind works in session and also gain skills that will help you make it work better. Your therapist makes it clear that change comes not just from going to therapy, but also from spending time practicing the skills that you learn in session.

How does therapy work?

There is stigma to therapy and many myths out there...
- Therapy doesn’t work.
- Therapy is not for me–it’s for people with serious mental health issues.
- Talking to someone about my problems won’t help me.
- I can fix the problem myself.
- Once I start going to therapy, I’ll have to go forever.
​                  Absolutely not.

How do I know if I need therapy?

I recommend making a list of short- and long-term goals with your therapist in the first few weeks. It may be helpful to track how you feel each day and how you cope with difficult situations. After some time, check the list and see if you’re closer to reaching any of your goals. Review your progress with your therapist. Improvement won’t happen overnight, but you should see some change, even if it’s just a better understanding of your own thoughts and feelings.

If, after some time, you don’t begin to feel some relief, you should consider changing therapists. You have a right to have the best treatment possible and you can feel better.

How will I know if I'm making progress?

Scheduling a free phone consultation will give you more of an idea of what to expect and if we are the right fit for you. It's completely okay to book a first appointment and not like it. It's important to find a therapist that fits YOU!

There are several ways to pay for therapy and each has pros and cons:

1) One option is to pay for therapy out of pocket. You will pay your therapist their hourly fee for each session. This gives you the freedom to choose the best therapist for you and is the simplest and most confidential way to pay for therapy. However, it is also the most expensive. No documentation is required to be submitted to insurance companies, leading to the most confidential therapy option with fewer limitations on frequency and type of sessions.

2) Another option is to use your health insurance to pay for therapy. Most health insurance policies provide two types of coverage: in-network and out-of-network.

-- In-network therapists bill your insurance for the service they provide on your behalf. You will usually need to pay a copay. The choice of therapist may be limited, especially if you would like a specialist for a specific issue or treatment. Additionally, your insurance provider can access your confidential health records and can limit the amount of time you are allowed therapy. This option can be the least expensive way to pay for therapy and help make therapy affordable. However, the actual cost of in-network therapy may be higher than expected - You may be required to pay a certain amount before you can use your insurance benefits at all. This is called a deductible and can be thousands of dollars, which also means you may never meet the deductible before year-end to actually receive insurance benefits/coverage. Deductibles typically reset on January 1st.

-- Out-of-network coverage is available through most insurance plans. Paying out-of-network means you are required to pay your therapist’s full fee at the time of your appointment. Your therapist will give you a receipt you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. The reimbursement amount varies depending on your insurance plan. Out-of-network coverage gives you much more freedom and flexibility in choosing a therapist or specialist and a greater degree of confidentiality. With insurance reimbursement, out-of-network therapy can be affordable and on-par with in-network therapy.
