Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy typically occurs once per week and is a 45 to 50-minute session. This therapy is most useful for individuals who feel that their current issues and areas for growth are (mostly) specific to them. Most mental health concerns can be addressed in individual therapy. We accept insurance for individual therapy and currently accept Aetna, Anthem, Evernorth/Cigna, Magellan, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, and Tricare.

Intensive Individual Therapy

There are some situations and diagnoses where intensive therapy is not only useful but has been indicated to be better treated by longer sessions that occur more frequently, typically 3-5 days per week across several weeks. The advantage of intensive therapy is experiencing change more quickly than traditional therapy and with fewer in-between sessions. Many people find the continuity of multiple sessions per week helpful in staying consistent with growth and progress.

Diagnoses that have been shown to benefit from grouped or intensive therapy include:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Agoraphobia and other Phobias

  • Anxiety Disorders

Unfortunately, insurance does not cover intensive therapy as most insurance companies limit the length of sessions and the number of sessions you can have per week. For this reason, intensive individual therapy is provided as an out-of-pocket/cash-pay service.

Rates

Individual therapy is $230 per 45 to 50-minute session.

Intensive Therapy rates are $335 per 90-minute session.

  • You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of our clients come to us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or simply knowing they want to live differently.

    Common reasons people start therapy include persistent anxiety or worry, low mood or depression, difficulty concentrating (often related to ADHD), trauma responses, major life transitions like job changes or loss, relationship stress, sleep problems, and the experience of being recently diagnosed or finally understanding a lifelong diagnosis of ADHD or autism.

Our clinicians have deep experience treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, PTSD and complex trauma, sleep difficulties, life transitions, burnout, psychosis, and offer LGBTQ+ affirming care. We also specialize in supporting adults who are navigating a late diagnosis of ADHD or autism, a growing population that benefits from a practice with genuine expertise in neurodivergence. One of our clinicians also provides therapy in Spanish!
