questions

  • Yes, we see clients via telehealth that reside in Utah, New York, and Oregon, as well as statewide in California. In person options include Alamo and Pleasant Hill, CA.

  • It varies based on your needs, preferences, and progress. We generally suggest weekly sessions for 6-8 weeks and then adjusting as needed. We check in regularly about your comfort with the process and your progress.
  • It's understandable to feel some hesitation in therapy. We create a comfortable environment to explore your concerns at your own pace. You're in control of what you choose to share, and your therapist unconditiionally supports your boundaries and limits, while checking in with you about it along the way.
  • We are in-network with Cigna/Evernorth, United Healthcare (Optum), Aetna, and AllOne Health EAP.  For all others, ask your PPO about the out-of-network benefits for your plan as well as the deductible requirements. Our superbills include all pertinent information such as provider and group EIN, NPI, CPT codes, diagnostic codes and modifiers, and relevant subscriber details. We typically submit these to our clients once or twice per month or upon request.  Therapy fees range from $150-300 per session, based on qualifications, location, and services offered. 
  • Our licensed therapists have fulfilled the required 3000 clinical hours and passed their board exams, while associate therapists work under close supervision of a licensed therapist until completion of their hours and board exams. We require our associates to have a minimum of 2000 clinical hours of experience to join our team.
  • While we anticipate having a psychiatrist on our team in the future, we currently refer clients out to recommended physicians for medications.
  • Just call or message us to schedule a 20-30 minute no-fee consult. We'll chat about your needs and goals, answer any questions about next steps, and which of our therapists we recommend for you.
