Joining a group often requires individuals to practice a layer of vulnerability that cannot be reached in individual therapy. Group sessions allow individuals to examine themselves and take inventory of their interpersonal needs while working with others to challenge fears and unhelpful projected beliefs.

You are challenging yourself to an opportunity to evolve, grow, develop healthy tools, and express your feelings with others that have shared experiences with you.. I always say to every client: IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, YOU SOUND HUMAN!

No. Fortunately, we do not accept insurance. (No limitations on your treatment!).
Investing in your mental health is the first step to take towards creating healthier and more fulfilling changes in your life.
We believe in a long term approach and provide depth psychotherapy which often requires long term journeys. (Reminder that therapeutic services are entirely voluntary). Insurers limit the number and time frame of the actual session. Most health insurance providers require an initial diagnosis in order to cover your Therapy and some diagnoses will not be covered at all. We do not believe in diagnosing after only one intake hour. Part of our philosophy is to build a relationship with our patients in order to specifically tailor their treatment based on individual needs. Insurance carriers also require your diagnosis to be disclosed when pursuing new treatment. This is in direct conflict with our philosophy of treating patients.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
