Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form, schedule a consult directly on the calendar, or email to schedule a 15 minute consultation video meeting. During this consult you’ll share a little about your therapy intentions, ask any questions you have and then we’ll talk about fee and schedule. Then we’ll discuss our therapeutic fit. If it feels like a good match we’ll go from there.

Diagnosing is done by looking at a cluster of reported symptoms that have been designated as a psychological illness by the American Psychiatric Association. This is one part of your lived experience and does not define the entirety of who you are. Many diagnoses are based on responses to stressors and is also highly biased. We do not need to have a diagnosis to work together. The main reason we offer a diagnosis is to support people accessing types of care, including medical and social systems where having a diagnosis is needed. Diagnosing also helps people to have language around responses to specific life experiences.
Frequently Asked Questions
YOUR RIGHT TO A GOOD FAITH FEE ESTIMATE
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019.
