“Working with Ms. Lester has been truly transformative. She listens fully and attentively, never interrupting, and has a rare ability to challenge my thoughts in a way that feels supportive rather than critical. She’s candid, respectful, and incredibly perceptive—always knowing how to reflect things back to me in a way that promotes growth and self-awareness. I’ve grown so much because of her guidance and as someone who’s had many therapists over 15+ years, she is by far the best as far as her approach and warmth. Ms. Lester goes beyond the “how does that make you feel?” or “try to implement these coping skills that are proven to work” but she gets to the root of why you behave the way you do. I’m beyond grateful & can’t stop bragging about how amazing she is to my friends & family!!!!!”

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
