This is a traditional therapy session where we would explore thoughts, feelings, and challenges. In this type of session, we would incorporate looking back at your history, current stressors, and repeated patterns of behavior that get in your way and become barriers to well being and healthy relationships.

During the session, you may:

• Explore thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship patterns
• Better understand stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life transitions
• Identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck
• Develop practical coping strategies
• Process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable
• Clarify your needs, boundaries, and goals
• Build insight and create meaningful, lasting change

Each appointment is tailored to you. Some sessions may focus on immediate concerns, while others may involve deeper reflection and ongoing therapeutic work. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin, therapy offers a supportive space to start.

Why Choose Private-Pay Therapy?

Private-pay therapy can offer greater flexibility, privacy, and control over your care. Instead of meeting insurance requirements, you and your therapist can focus on the goals and approach that best fit your needs.

Benefits may include:

• Greater privacy: Insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis and clinical information to determine coverage. With private-pay, your sessions are not submitted to your insurance company.
• More personalized care: Your treatment can be guided by your goals rather than insurance rules about diagnosis, medical necessity, session limits, or authorizations.
• More flexibility: Private-pay care may allow more freedom in scheduling, session length, frequency, and therapeutic approach.
• Fewer administrative barriers: You avoid claim denials, prior authorizations, coverage restrictions, and changing insurance benefits.
• More control over your records: Your therapy does not become part of your insurance claim history.

Private-pay is not automatically the right choice for everyone. Insurance may make therapy more affordable, and you should consider your budget and coverage before deciding.

Private-pay is $200/session
