“Dr. Abigail Colyer is an incredibly warm, empathetic, and engaging therapist. Her trauma-informed and strengths-based approach helped me navigate anxiety and past trauma in a way that felt both empowering and deeply supportive. She truly listens and tailors each session to your unique needs, incorporating practical strategies from CBT, ACT, and DBT that actually work in real life. Her background in the arts brings a refreshing, creative perspective to therapy, and she always honors who you are. I’ve grown so much with her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and effective therapy. ”

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $300 for 50 minutes
Ongoing session: $300 for 50 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay

More information on payments and coverage

We are in-network with ComPsych and Lyra and out-of-network and private pay with other insurances. Our fee varies by provider. I charge $300 for a 50 minute session and I have multiple supervised providers working with me: Dr. Ana Hauser who charges $250/session. I also have two excellent Psychology Externs (Tiffany Tao and David Cenkner) who charges $125/session but are able to side as low as $40 pending financial need and availability within the clinic. We provide Superbills to help patients with reimbursement from their insurance. Most PPO insurances reimburse 40-80% of the fee, however, this varies by insurance, and we encourage individuals to confirm with their providers. Please check with your insurance company to inquire into possible out-of-network benefits and rates for reimbursement. COPE providers can provide a monthly statement documenting services received that can be used for possible reimbursement from your insurance company and/or healthcare spending accounts. Some questions that may be helpful to ask your insurance company: Do I have mental health benefits? Do I have out-of-network benefits? If so, what are the benefits? How would I obtain reimbursement for an out-of-network provider? How many sessions will be covered per calendar year? What is my deductible and has it been met?
