You deserve clarity, steadiness, and a starting point that feels doable. We’re here to offer exactly that.
Many people arrive here feeling unsure about where to begin. You might be trying to understand your insurance, wondering what therapy will cost, or simply figuring out whether now is the right moment to reach out. All of that makes sense.
Our role is to make this process feel as clear and supportive as possible. Once you submit your intake, we’ll walk you through each step — from matching you with the right clinician to preparing for your first session — so you never feel like you’re navigating this alone.
And It’s Completely Normal to Have Questions
Considering Therapy Is a Big Step
We’re in-network with Aetna. For other plans, we’re out-of-network and will provide a superbill for potential reimbursement. After checking your out-of-network reimbursement rate using the Mentaya tool below, you’ll have a clearer sense of what your out-of-pocket cost will be.
Using Your Benefits
Payment information is securely kept on file with Stripe and charged after each session. Cancellations within 48 hours are billed at the full fee, as your appointment time is reserved specifically for you.
Payment Policies
Our standard rate starts at $300 per 50-minute session for for couples, adults, teens, and children. Sessions are structured, collaborative, and tailored to your goals.
Fee Overview
Investment & Policies
If you have a PPO plan, there’s a good chance you can still receive partial reimbursement for therapy, even when we’re out-of-network. Many clients are pleasantly surprised once they check their benefits.
And because we don’t think anyone should spend their afternoon on hold with an insurance hotline, we offer a simple tool that lets you view your out-of-network benefits instantly.
Our goal is to give you clear information up front, so you can focus on finding the right therapeutic fit rather than deciphering insurance jargon.
We’re in-network with Aetna and out-of-network with all other insurers.
Insurance can feel unnecessarily complicated, so we like to keep things straightforward.

Dr. Christina Chick,
Founder & CLINICAL DIRECTOR
"I founded this practice with a clear vision: to build a team known for both real expertise and genuine warmth."
Yes. We work with nuanced, high-stakes concerns—affairs, trauma responses, sexual difficulty, chronic conflict, emotional overwhelm, shutdown/withdrawal, and relationships that feel “stuck.” We hold complexity without moralizing, and we’ll be candid about what level of care is most appropriate—whether that’s outpatient therapy with us, or a higher level of support.
DO YOU WORK WITH MORE COMPLEX OR HIGH-ACUITY CONCERNS?
Study after study shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of outcome. That’s why we take fit seriously. We also stay focused on outcomes: Are you seeing the pattern more clearly? Are you responding differently when it shows up? Are you building more choice—especially in the moments that used to hijack you?
HOW DO YOU THINK ABOUT FIT AND PROGRESS?
Research suggests that most clients experience meaningful improvement within the first 12–15 sessions, with continued gains over time. Some people “graduate” within that window; others choose to continue with longer-term work. Our goal isn’t to keep you here indefinitely—it’s to help you make measurable progress, and to continue only while therapy is genuinely useful.
HOW LONG DOES THERAPY USUALLY TAKE?
Expect therapy that is engaged, structured, and personalized—not a passive weekly check-in. We start by mapping the pattern: what triggers it, what keeps it going, and what it costs you. From there, we choose a focused plan—insight, skills, and deeper emotional work—matched to the mechanism driving the loop.
WHAT IS THERAPY LIKE HERE?
Yes. Many of the issues that bring people to therapy are the ones that feel hardest to talk about—sex, money, betrayal, resentment, power, mismatched desire, shame. We don’t flinch. We help you speak to what’s true with clarity and care, so the conversation creates movement—not more avoidance.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT’S OFTEN LEFT UNSAID?
Doctoral-level training shows up as depth and precision. We look beneath the surface at the underlying dynamics shaping your patterns, and we don’t oversimplify your experience. Our research background helps us match mechanism to treatment—then tailor the plan to you.
