Does Therapy Work?

We use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) which is a coaching style of therapy to help our clients develop psychological flexibility. Why? because almost 55,000 studies support this approach for changing behavior and improving mental health. ACT teaches you to pay attention to what your emotions are telling you, look at the automatic behaviors that are making things worse, and develop tools that allow you to respond in healthy ways. 

​
 

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy can help with:​​

  • Anxiety Disorders

  • Depression

  • Bi-Polar Disorder

  • Perfectionism

  • Shame

  • ​Feelings of Worthlessness

  • Grief/ Loss

  • Trauma

  • Co-Dependency

  • Substance Abuse*

  • Disordered Eating*

  • Life Transition​

  • Attachment Difficulties

  • ADHD

  • Breaking Family Patterns

  • Self-Sabotage

  • Psychedelic Integration

*We will only treat cases that are mild to moderate and appropriate for outpatient care. Severe cases may require inpatient treatment.

Experience and Perspective

MeetYourTherapist

I spent a good amount of my early career working in substance abuse rehab. In this setting I noticed something interesting:  The more understanding my patients gained about what caused their behavior, the more they seemed to justify not changing:
 

"I'm an addict. This is just who I am."

 

"I was abused. I never felt safe. You can't blame me for being this way."

 

Mental Health is getting worse in America. And while there are many systemic reasons for that, I believe the way we administer therapy is one of them: Many well-meaning therapists are digging up the past and helping clients find reasons for their behavior instead of giving them tools to feel and behave differently.

​

When I found Acceptance & Commitment Therapy it opened my eyes. Change isn't about fixing people. Your pain is a part of you, sure. But our work will show you that there is SO much more to you.

Paying for Therapy

Therapy is an investment in your mental health and wellbeing. The return you should expect to see is a radical change in the way that you see the world and live your life.

​

Our therapy fees are $200 per session and it could take around 10 sessions to start seeing meaningful results. While you'll have many payment options, real change will require a substantial personal investment from you.

​

So, before you commit to beginning therapy with us, it is important to ask yourself a few questions:
 

  1. Is the outcome I'm hoping for worth an investment of $2,000 or more?

  2. Am I prepared to stick it out for 10 sessions even if I don't see immediate results?

  3. Am I willing to surrender to the process, to fully engage, and to follow through with homework?

  4. Do I trust the therapist and/or therapeutic model?

 

If you can honestly answer yes to all of these questions, you are ready to start.

Reimbursement Through INsurance

Mentaya

Many people don't realize how their insurance can help them pay for therapy - even when their provider is not in their network (like us). Others understand that they have out-of-network benefits but are confused by the process of submitting claims for those benefits.

​

We have partnered with Mentaya to make getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions quick and easy. You can use our benefits checker to see if you have benefits that can be applied to therapy with us.​
