Can I use my insurance for therapy?
- Verify your out-of-network benefits before your first session
- Submit all claims on your behalf after each appointment
- Track reimbursements so you know what to expect
Most clients receive 60–80% reimbursement once their deductible is met — without ever needing to call their insurance company or file paperwork themselves. We take care of the logistics so you can focus fully on your therapy and well-being. To learn exactly how to use your out-of-network benefits, we’ve outlined the step-by-step process on our Insurance and Billing page.

How often do we meet?
We'll meet once per week, ideally at the same time each week. In our experience, people see the best results when therapy is a weekly commitment.
It might seem like if we meet every other week or monthly then you'll get the most bang for your buck, but it actually tends to just delay progress. It's harder for us to get into a rhythm of doing the work and it takes longer for trust to build between us.

How long are sessions?
Sessions are 45-minutes long. If you’re interested in longer sessions, please reach out and we can discuss meeting twice per week.

What is your cancellation policy?
Please give 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. If you give less than 48 hours notice, you will be charged the full rate of your session. If we’re able to reschedule within the same week, then the fee is waived.
The goal of this cancellation policy is to maintain consistency and respect for each other’s time and busy schedules. And of course, we understand serious medical reasons or circumstances outside of your control happen, so these will be taken into consideration.

How does online therapy work?
Our goal is to make your online therapy experience as close to in-person therapy as possible. Sessions take place on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, and all you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection.
A few things to keep in mind:
Privacy: Choose a space where you feel comfortable and free from distractions. This helps you get the most out of each session.
Video vs. Audio: We encourage keeping your video on, as seeing one another supports better communication and connection through body language, facial expressions, and other nonverbal cues.
