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
Starting 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 $225 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, compulsions, trauma responses, sexual difficulty, chronic conflict, emotional overwhelm, shutdown/withdrawal, and relationships that feel “stuck.” We hold complexity without moralizing, and we’ll be honest 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 don’t lead with a one-size-fits-all style. After mapping the terrain of your experience, we select methods that fit your goals. And we stay focused on outcomes: Are you building more flexibility in the moments that used to hijack you?
HOW DO YOU THINK ABOUT FIT AND PROGRESS?
This is a deeply researched question. Studies suggest 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 it take for THERAPY to work?
Your fee covers the session and the clinical thinking that supports it. We reserve your appointment time just for you and keep our caseloads intentionally limited. This allows us to stay engaged outside the hour—reviewing themes, refining the plan, and preparing resources—so our work together stays focused and high-impact.
WHAT DOES MY FEE COVER?
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. Instead, we help you say what needs to be said with clarity and compassion, so the conversation moves forward instead of creating more avoidance.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT’S been LEFT UNSAID?
Our doctoral-level training shows up as both depth and precision. We look beneath the surface at the underlying dynamics shaping your patterns, and we don’t oversimplify your experience. Our research and teaching backgrounds help us match mechanism to treatment, then tailor a plan for you.
