FAQs

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to grow — therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit. Many of our clients come to us wanting more clarity, more peace, and more alignment in their lives. 

We accept various insurance plans. Contact us directly and we'll be happy to verify your benefits before your first session. 

Your first session is about getting to know you — your story, what's brought you to therapy, and what you're hoping to achieve. There's no pressure to share more than you're ready to. You set the pace.

Culturally responsive care means we actively acknowledge, respect, and integrate your cultural background, identity, and lived experience into your treatment. You will never be asked to leave any part of yourself at the door. 

Telehealth counseling — also known as online therapy or virtual therapy — allows you to meet with a licensed mental health counselor via a secure video platform from the comfort of your own home, office, or any private space of your choosing. Sessions are conducted in real time, just like in-person appointments, and offer the same level of confidentiality and clinical care. Research consistently shows that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and more.

Our clients choose telehealth for many reasons:

• Convenience: No commute, no waiting room — just log in and connect

• Flexibility: Schedule sessions around your work, childcare, or other commitments

• Accessibility: Ideal for individuals with mobility limitations, chronic illness, or transportation barriers

• Comfort: Many clients find it easier to open up from a familiar environment

• Continuity: Maintain your therapeutic relationship even during travel, illness, or schedule disruptions

Telehealth is a great fit for most individuals seeking mental health support, including those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and general stress. It is particularly beneficial for busy professionals, parents, and individuals in areas with limited access to in-person mental health providers. Our clinicians will work with you to determine whether telehealth is the right fit for your specific needs and goals.
