Common Questions
What new clients often ask before reaching out
Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network practice. We provide detailed superbills you can submit for reimbursement, and we're happy to help you understand your benefits before your first session.
What should I expect on the intake call?
The 15-minute call is unhurried and conversational. We'll listen to what brings you in, describe how we work, and help determine whether one of our practitioners is the right fit — or point you elsewhere if not.
How often do clients meet with their counselor?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Cadence is adjusted collaboratively as the work unfolds, and many eventually move to biweekly or maintenance spacing.
Are virtual sessions as effective as in-person?
For many presentations, yes — outcomes are comparable when the modality fits the client and the work. Some modalities (somatic work in particular) benefit from in-person time, which your counselor will flag.
