An LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) is a mental health professional trained specifically in relational and systemic approaches to therapy — meaning we look at how relationships, family patterns, and environment shape emotional well-being, in addition to individual mental health. This is different from a psychologist (who typically has a doctoral degree and may focus more on assessment and diagnosis) or a psychiatrist (a medical doctor who can prescribe medication). LMFTs are fully licensed by their state licensing board and are qualified to treat individuals, couples, and families.

Most people can get a sense of fit within the first 1–2 sessions. We also encourage a brief consultation call before your first session so you can ask questions about approach, experience, and specialties before committing. It's normal and encouraged to consult with a couple of therapists before deciding who to work with.

This varies widely depending on your goals. Some clients come for a few months to work through a specific issue; others engage in longer-term work. Many people start to notice initial shifts within 3–4 sessions, which is a reasonable point to check in with yourself about how the fit feels.

Sessions with associate therapists cost $150 - $225 for individual 45-minute sessions and $200 - $250 for 60-minute couples/family sessions.

Sessions with licensed therapists range from $275 - $325 for individual 45-minute sessions and $300 - $425 for 60-minute couples/family sessions.

We reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots for those in need; please ask during your consultation, and we’ll be happy to discuss sliding-scale rates.

We are an out-of-network provider. We can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many of our clients receive 70-90% reimbursements with PPO plans.

We recommend calling your insurer beforehand to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

We require 36 hours' notice for cancellations. You will be charged the full cost of the session if canceled within the 36-hour window, barring serious illness or emergencies.

You can reach out through our contact page or by phone/email to set up a brief consultation call, where we'll talk through what brings you to therapy and answer any questions before scheduling your first session.

Somatic therapy incorporates the body into the therapeutic process, not just thoughts and conversation. Many emotional and relational patterns like anxiety, trauma responses, and chronic tension, live in the nervous system and show up physically before we're consciously aware of them. Somatic work helps you notice and work with these bodily signals directly, often alongside traditional talk therapy, to create change that feels more complete and lasting.
