Common Questions
-
Do you accept insurance ?
A: Yes, we accept Carefirst, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, United Healthcare and Aetna insurance for individual therapy sessions. If you don’t have insurance or prefer not to use it, we also welcome self-pay clients. The self-pay rates are $150 per session. We can also provide superbills for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. Please note that we do not accept insurance for couples therapy at this time.
-
Should I choose private-pay or use my insurance?
It depends on your needs and preferences. Insurance can make therapy more affordable, but it may require a diagnosis or limit the number of sessions covered. Private-pay provides greater autonomy, confidentiality and flexibility, allowing you to focus on your goals without restrictions from your insurance provider.
-
Where do you see clients?
Everywhere in Texas and Maryland. Sessions are fully virtual. You just need to be physically located in one of those states during your appointment.
-
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Determining if therapy is a good fit depends on your needs and desired outcomes. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and what you hope to achieve. The consultation is also an opportunity for you to determine if therapy is right for you at this time.
-
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapy designed to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain process and reframe painful memories. EMDR doesn’t erase the memory but helps reduce its emotional intensity, so you can move forward without being overwhelmed by past events.
-
What should I do if I have a mental health emergency?
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately. You can also contact a crisis hotline for immediate support, such as the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988.
-
How long will I be in therapy?
Most clients finish weekly therapy in under 18 months. Intensives are a faster-paced alternative — see the Intensives page.
Rates
$150 per 50–60 minute weekly session. We accept most major insurances, including CareFirst and Aetna, and also work with private-pay clients. Not sure if your plan is accepted? Just ask on your consultation call and we'll check for you. Private pay means no diagnosis on file, no insurance company deciding how long you get to work on something, and full control over your records.
EMDR Intensives are private-pay only and are not billed to insurance. See the Intensives page for formats and pricing.
Good Faith Estimate
In compliance with the No Surprises Act, we provide a Good Faith Estimate for all clients before starting therapy. This estimate outlines the expected costs of your treatment, if paying out-of-pocket. It ensures transparency and helps you understand the financial commitment before therapy begins. If there are any changes to the costs during your treatment, we will update your estimate. For more information, please contact us.
