FAQS

As the Practice Owner, Accessible care was and still is VERY Important to me when starting this journey!

Licensed Providers can bill almost any plan you could think of, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare (including Optum, UMR, & Surest), Medicare, & Tricare! Just ask your provider during consultation or via a quick email.

Our Registered Post-Graduate Interns can bill Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, & Cigna.

Student interns are unable to bill any insurance plans, provide super bills, and you will not be able to count these sessions towards your deductible or out of pocket max, however, they offer services at a rate of $30, which is lower than most co-pays!

Our team works with teen girls ages 14 and older and adult women of all ages who may be healing from complex trauma, borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, OCD, addiction, life stress, self-criticism, or continuous toxic relationships.

Registered Interns:

A registered intern has completed a master’s degree and is gaining supervised, post-graduate experience toward independent licensure. Registered interns receive weekly supervision from a licensed clinician. As the practice owner, I only hire registered interns who have extensive experience with the populations we treat and who are more than halfway through—or nearing the end of—their post-graduate supervision period.

Student Interns:

A student intern is still completing a graduate degree and receives supervised clinical training as part of their educational program. Student interns receive weekly supervision from a licensed clinician, as well as weekly training from me on topics relevant to the populations we serve. Many students do not continue to intern here past their generalist year, so if one of my student interns is providing your therapy, they have met my high standards for providing quality clinical services.

For appointments scheduled with a licensed practitioner or post-graduate registered clinical intern:

• 48+ hours’ notice: No fee

• Less than 48 hours’ notice: $100 late cancellation fee

• Same-day cancellation or no-show: Full session fee of $150

For appointments scheduled with a student intern:

• 48+ hours’ notice: No fee

• Less than 48 hours’ notice: $15 late cancellation fee

• Same-day cancellation or no-show: Full session fee of of $30

These policies help ensure fairness to all clients, protect clinician and intern time, and allow us to continue offering reduced-fee services in a sustainable way.

Therapy works best when it’s consistent. Most clients begin by meeting twice a week or weekly to build momentum and create real change. Over time, as you feel more grounded in the work, we may shift to once a week and eventually taper sessions. The overall length of therapy really depends on your goals — some clients work with me for several months, while others stay longer-term for deeper growth and ongoing support. We’ll talk together about what feels right for you.

The first session is a combination of getting to know you and starting the therapeutic process. We’ll spend time discussing your background, current concerns, and goals, which will lay the foundation for our work together. While we will not jump straight into deep therapeutic work, we will begin to explore the issues that are most important to you. By the end of the session, we will have a clearer idea of how to move forward in a way that best supports your needs.

Yes. Everything you share in therapy is private and protected by law. The only exceptions are rare situations where I’m legally required to act — such as risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse/neglect, or a court order.

I won’t share information with other providers unless you give written consent. If you’d like me to coordinate care with your doctor or another professional, I’ll only share what you approve.

No — as therapists, we do not prescribe. If you’re interested in exploring medication, Our team can coordinate care with your primary care provider or refer you to a psychiatrist.
