Therapy can be a valuable tool for improving your well-being, but it's essential to remember that its success largely depends on your commitment and effort. By actively participating in sessions and working to address your concerns, you can make meaningful progress. We will guide you in exploring deep-rooted issues, reframing irrational thoughts, and adopting healthier behaviors. When you're dedicated to the process, you're more likely to experience positive changes in how you feel and function.
The duration of therapy varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy, while others require more time to address complex issues. We'll collaborate to establish a personalized plan tailored to your unique circumstances and regularly assess your progress to ensure you're receiving the support you need.
We do accept insurance for therapy sessions.
There are some advantages to not using insurance for therapy, such as increased privacy, no required diagnosis, and the ability to approach your well-being from a holistic perspective rather than focusing on pathology. It's essential to weigh these factors when deciding whether to use insurance for therapy.
Our practice is open to EVERYONE; however, we SPECIALIZE in supporting Black women and women of color. We understand the unique challenges faced by these individuals and are committed to providing culturally competent care that addresses their specific needs. We believe in prioritizing the wellness and health of Black women and women of color to foster a supportive and empathetic environment that may not be readily available elsewhere.
Before beginning therapy or coaching, we assess all clients to ensure that we can effectively meet their needs and that they are a good fit for our practice. If we determine that we might not be the best match for any reason, we maintain a list of licensed therapy professionals and can provide referrals as needed. This way, we ensure that every client receives the appropriate care and support for their personal journey.
We accept both self-pay clients and insurance clients. Our self-pay rate is $180 per session. We currently accept Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. We also accept HSA’s (Health Savings Account).
Absolutely! Before you decide if you’d like to move forward with services, we can schedule a free 15 min consultation to discuss your needs. We want to ensure we give you the best care possible, so the consultation will ensure we’re a good fit. If not, we’ll happily refer you to someone or somewhere that may be a better fit!
The practice hours are Monday- Friday from 9am-5pm. However, your therapist may have individual hours that will be shared with you during your free consultation.
