Insurance companies limit the degree and speed of care you can receive, which is why we do not accept every type of insurance. Our priority is to get our clients and their families the help they need, when they need it. We find that providers who take insurance typically have very long waitlists or don’t have openings for new clients. Additionally, the majority of insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis before they extend coverage, and sometimes insurance companies have varying caps on the coverage they provide for specific disorders (depression vs. anxiety, etc.).

Session fees range from $225–$550 depending on the service. We are an out-of-network practice, which means we don’t bill insurance companies directly. Instead, we provide superbills to make that process easy, and most of our clients receive partial reimbursement through their insurance.

Adolescents are navigating unique developmental territory — identity formation, peer dynamics, brain remodeling, and shifting family roles. Our teen therapy uses developmentally-attuned tools like CBT, DBT, and experiential techniques that resonate with teens, in a safe environment where they can explore what they’re going through without judgment.
