Yes. We are in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and United Healthcare. We also offer a sliding scale for self-pay clients based on income.

How long does therapy take?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Some clients find relief in 8-12 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term work. We'll discuss goals and timeline in your first session.
What should I expect in the first session?
Your first session is a chance to share your story and goals. Your therapist will ask about your background, what brought you in, and what you hope to achieve. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with.
