The first 1-3 sessions are focused on treatment planning and information gathering. You will share relevant information including your family history, major life events, goals, and frequency of sessions going forward.

Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and the length of time differs based on the individual. The motivation you bring to the work and the relationship with your therapist are crucial factors when considering how long therapy will take.

We hold telehealth therapy sessions using a HIPAA-compliant online video conferencing platform called Simple Practice. You will receive a unique link to join the session before each appointment. If you’d like to join the session from your smartphone, download Telehealth by Simple Practice in the app store.

You do not have to have experience with yoga in order to engage in somatic therapy. In fact, our somatic therapy offerings are gentle and tend to be more restorative than they are strenuous, so they are a great place to start if you have never tried yoga!

The use of somatic therapy as a tool is entirely optional. If you are unsure, ask your therapist or click here to learn more about somatic therapy and whether it’s an appropriate treatment modality for you.

We recommend working together on a weekly basis initially to develop rapport and get your counseling into a flow. We will give you ongoing feedback and work together on a plan that makes sense for you. Before terminating treatment altogether, we often recommend gradually reducing the frequency of your sessions.

55-minute counseling sessions with Natalie and Amanda are $160 and $165 for Stephanie. 55-minute somatic therapy sessions cost between $180-$200. Full payment is due at the time of service. We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). We do require a credit card on file in order to book an appointment. Stephanie and Natalie accept United Healthcare, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Aetna, and self-pay. Amanda accepts Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Aetna, and self-pay. If we do not accept your specific insurance plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance if your plan provides out-of-network benefits. Upon request, we are happy to provide a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance provider to obtain any reimbursement for services.

We require at least 24-hour’s notice for any cancellations. Failure to provide 24-hour notice will result in a charge for the total cost of your session.
