Session Fee
Intake Session (60 minutes): $150
Individual Sessions (50 minutes): $150
In private practice, the cost of therapy reflects more than just the time spent in session. It also covers behind-the-scenes tasks like scheduling, preparing for each session, reviewing progress, and maintaining accurate records.
While I do not accept insurance, this gives you more control over your child’s privacy and how their medical records are documented and shared.
I believe in being transparent about this so you can fully understand the value of the support your child is receiving. If you have any questions or need more details, I’m always happy to chat.
What’s included?
-
The session fee also includes time spent updating your child’s treatment plan, tracking progress, and staying connected with you to keep you informed. I also dedicate additional time outside of sessions to research, attend trainings, and prepare resources tailored to your child’s needs.
-
Even though I don’t work directly with insurance, you may be able to use your out-of-network benefits to help offset the cost of therapy. To make this process easier, I’ve partnered with Mentaya, a service that helps you access these benefits. Read on for more details!
-
At times, it may be helpful for me to collaborate with the other professionals in your child’s life. I’m happy to work alongside teachers, doctors, and previous therapists to ensure a well-rounded approach that supports your child’s growth and success.
-
I believe that everyone should have control over their own healthcare, including the ability to access important documents like letters of support for gender-affirming care when needed. That's why I don’t charge for writing these letters or for the time spent preparing them. Please note that I can only provide letters for individuals who are currently or have previously been in my care, and not for those outside of my practice.

Making therapy accessible for families who need financial support is important to me. Please read below for more details on how to access equitable payment options through Open Path.
Out-of-Network Support
While I don’t accept insurance directly, you may be able to use your out-of-network benefits for potential reimbursement on our sessions.
I can provide you with a superbill that you can give to your insurance, or if you prefer, Mentaya can handle the claims process for a small fee (5%).
Many insurance plans will reimburse a portion of the session cost once you've met your deductible (e.g. 50-80% after a $1,000 deductible).
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about using your benefits or need help with the reimbursement process.
Equitable Payment Options
I genuinely believe that access to mental health care should be a universal right. I offer equitable payment options because I know that therapy can feel out of reach for many families, and it shouldn’t be.
While not a perfect solution, I’ve partnered with Open Path to offer a portion of my sessions at a rate of $45-$70.
Some folks have wondered if Open Path pays me or supplements my fee, but that's not the case. Instead, it allows me to offer a sliding scale in a straightforward way, so that you don’t have to navigate any waitlists or delays.
