We publish our rates because you shouldn’t have to get on a call to find out whether this is possible for your family. Private pay also lets us build treatment around what your family actually needs, rather than what an insurance plan will authorize.
Not necessarily. Session structure depends on your treatment goals.
That’s more common than you’d think, and it’s something we can work with. If they are willing to come for one session, their voice is valued in the process.
We focus on what each person is experiencing and what each relationship needs, not on who’s “right.”
It depends on what you’re working on. We’ll give you a real assessment after the first few sessions rather than a number now.
Rachel is in-network with Medicare only. Otherwise, we’re private pay and provide Superbills. Reimbursement depends on your plan and is not guaranteed.
