Frequently Asked Questions

We receive a lot of similar questions from people who are seeking care. Please read through the questions and answers below if you find yourself wondering how to best navigate your care.

Why is therapy so expensive?

We understand that traditional psychotherapy and mental health care has been cost prohibitive for too many for too long. For those of us who are licensed and registered clinical providers, we accrue a hefty amount of expenses to do the work we do. You are not only paying for the time you see your provider, but for ongoing education, overhead costs, licensure, insurance, and practice management. We work hard to keep costs as low as possible while still making sure we are legally, ethically, and professional compliant with the requirements for care.

Why don’t you bill insurance directly?

As a decolonizing practice, we refuse to be complicit in systems that harm people and stigmatize the act of asking for help. American medical insurance companies have the ability to dictate not only how much care you receive, but what modalities are used whether they are helpful or not. Insurance companies do not compensate providers fairly, and are allowed to use your private health information to prevent you from flourishing. We will gladly provide you with receipts, or Super Bills, if your insurance plan reimburses for out-of-network care. We also offer tired payment options, third party agreements, and bartering to help make care more accessible to you.

What is “radically inclusive care”?

When we say we provide radically inclusive care, we mean that each person who seeks help deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. We operate within a liberation based value system, meaning that we believe and acknowledge that none of us is free until all of us are free from oppression, exploitation, poverty, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism, religious persecution, genocide, slavery, and violence.

We are: 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, anti-racist, neurodiverse, sex positive, identity affirming, and not affiliated with any religious or political organization, trauma informed, and we welcome anyone who wants to continue on their healing path to seek care with our collective.
