​

  • $225 - 60-minute individual therapy session

Out-of-Network Benefits*

If your insurance plan offers out-of-network coverage, we're happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. 

​

Our team can assist you in understanding your benefits and provide guidance on how to check your out-of-network eligibility before beginning services.

Sliding Scale

We believe that access to care should be equitable and flexible. A limited number of sliding scale appointments are available based on financial need and clinician availability.

Good Faith Estimate

In compliance with the No Surprise Act, clients who are uninsured or choose not to use insurance are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of services. This estimate will be provided upon request or prior to your appointment.
