Theory of Change and Growth

 

 

I believe healing begins in a space where you feel genuinely heard, valued, and safe. My goal is to create a welcoming, collaborative environment that honors your sense of self and supports you in working toward your goals and living a healthy, fulfilling life. I also believe that thoughtful and intentional use of humor is an invaluable tool in long term recovery that reminds us of our ability to overcome struggles and deepens our connections. Choosing to seek therapy is a brave and courageous step, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Understanding Therapy Costs by Clinician Level:

  • Fully Licensed Professionals (LPC, LCSW, LMFT): Our current rate for individual therapy sessions with fully licensed therapists is set at $120 per session. Nationally, these sessions typically range from $90 to $200. These clinicians have completed extensive training, supervision, and state licensure requirements.
  • Provisional/Associate-Level Clinicians (LPC Associate, LMSW, LMFT Associate): Our current rate for sessions with provisional or associate-level therapists is set at $95 per session. Nationally, the average cost for these sessions ranges from $65 to $120. These clinicians are highly skilled, have completed their master's degrees, and are working under the direct supervision of a fully licensed professional as they accumulate hours towards full licensure.
  • Student Interns: Sessions with student interns, who are gaining practical experience under close supervision, typically range from $0 to $85 per session. This provides an affordable entry point for therapy while ensuring high-quality care through rigorous oversight.
