How much does therapy cost?
Meeting with an Associate therapist (which is an unlicensed therapist who’s under the supervision of a licensed therapist) starts at $180 for individual therapy, or $225 for couples therapy. Meeting with a Licensed therapist starts at $195 for individual therapy, or $250 for couples therapy.
You can browse our team of therapists to see our different specialties and learn more about who feels like the right fit for you!
You’re also welcome to ask our therapists about their availability for “sliding scale” appointments.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! We are currently in-network with Optum / UnitedHealthcare insurance, as well as Aetna.
In general, meeting with an in-network therapist means that you are just responsible for paying your copay or coinsurance for the session, and your insurance covers the rest. The actual amount you’ll pay per session depends on your particular plan, so your therapist will help you figure out your benefits once you get started with therapy.

What if I don’t have Optum, UnitedHealthcare or Aetna insurance?
You can totally still work with us! In fact, many insurance plans have out-of-network benefits that you can take advantage of.
For our out-of-network clients (meaning anyone that is on an insurance plan other than Optum, UnitedHealthcare, or Aetna) we can either send you a superbill that you can send to your insurance, or we can submit an out-of-network claim to your insurance directly on your behalf.

Good Faith Estimate…
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
