Initial Assessment

$200

75-90 min

During this first session, we gather details about your life, health, relationships, and formative experiences. These inform the ways I may understand your presenting issue, diagnosis, and the themes that will focus your work in therapy.

A note about diagnosis:

The American healthcare system is based on a specific set of clinical diagnoses, which are clusters and patterns of “symptoms” that deviate from normative expectations in Western societies. While diagnosis is required for insurance, we can together consider “symptoms” also as adaptations to problematic patterns in your surrounding environment.

 

Individual
Psychotherapy Sessions

$160

60 min

Therapy sessions follow the initial assessment, typically for 60 minutes on a weekly rhythm. The frequency and length of sessions may vary based on your needs. Shorter sessions have lower rates, as follows: $130 for 30 min and $145 for 45 min sessions.

A note about fees:

I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots in my practice where fees inhibit access to therapy. Please let me know if you would like to discuss this as an option.

 

Parent Sessions

$150

45-60 min

In working with adolescent clients, sessions specifically for the parents are an essential part of the work. In these sessions I provide parents with opportunities to discuss their concerns, share information about any changes in family dynamics, and learn how to best support their teen’s therapy. I also check in with parents to ensure that they are receiving adequate support within and outside the family system.

 

Consultation

$150

Sliding scale available

45-60 min

I provide consultation for clinicians seeking additional perspectives on cases, especially where gender identity is a main theme of the therapy. I use a sliding scale for consultation and attempt to match the financial arrangement between the client and the therapist seeking consultation.
