Rates and Fees

Rates on a sliding scale based upon experience but they roughly go from $145 to $215 for our most experienced people. The average rate for individuals will be around $160.
We focus on private pay to help expedite people getting care. It allows us to have more openings and get people in more quickly. We also suggest clients use tools like Thrizer to help file out of network claims.
We also offer Single Session Therapy which is $160 per session for individuals and for Couples it’s $175. It’s great for clients who might be more hesitant/resistant to therapy as it’s more like buying a class at the yoga studio than signing up for a membership, if that makes sense.
If this seems expensive, here’s a good resource on why therapy is so expensive.
