Many people can be hesitant to start therapy due to the unexpected costs and expenses that they may encounter while trying to get the help they need. Mental health therapy can be very costly and offering services that are accessible is our goal. You want to improve your mental health and wellness: this is a positive step in the direction to heal YOU, your mind, and your body! You deserve open communication and transparency about the cost of your care.

Why I don't take insurance- Where do I even start! Let's be honest.. insurance companies are a hassle to deal with. I want to spend my time with YOU rather than on the phone with customer service.
Insurance companies can cause unnecessary barriers to your care by requiring a diagnosis and outlined goals to show that you are ‘making progress’ in therapy. Insurance coverage can be temporary and end unexpectedly which would be harmful to our work together.
I prefer to offer clients with the autonomy to decide if they want a diagnosis or not and to create goals together based on your wants and needs. In order for me to be the best provider that I can be for you, I do not want us to worry about being limited and mandated by other entities.

We will spend time discussing payment options and what works best for you. You are in charge of your treatment and costs for services depending on sliding scale and pay-what-you-can slot availability.
Rates of services will vary from person to person depending on needs and pricing slots available. We will also talk about rates during our first contact together. I do not require income verification or tax information to be eligible for services.
Please see payment options in the section below.
I understand that this idea is different and new. I urge you to reach out to ask questions about paying for wellness services

We do not take insurance of any kind (directly or indirectly) and do not provide superbills.
Pay What You Can
I believe that all human beings deserve dignity and respect. This means that all humans who are looking for assistance with their mental wellness are able to get the help that they need regardless of their financial status and based on slot openings. I want to help you be the best version of yourself and financial means shouldn't be a barrier for you getting the support you need.
Mutual Aid
If you support the work that we are doing and want to support others, please consider supporting those who are not able to financially afford therapy. All funds will be used to help support those who are not able to afford therapy sessions.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under this 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.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one 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.
