Choosing a therapist is not just about qualifications — it's about resonance.
We encourage you to trust your intuition, to seek a therapist whose presence encourages you to be your authentic self.
In the therapy space, vulnerability becomes strength, and healing becomes possible.
We understand the importance of finding a balance between providing exceptional care and addressing financial realities.
Our self-pay rate is $150 per session, and we offer sliding scales to existing clients for temporary hardship.
