Getting to know Dewanda Gichemi

Greetings! I am a passionate clinical therapist committed to a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that blends evidence-based methods with compassion. I create a safe, supportive environment tailored to each client‚Äôs unique needs, using interventions like CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic therapy. My focus is on empowering clients, honoring their autonomy, working together to set meaningful goals, and tracking progress at their own pace. Beyond simply reducing symptoms, I help clients build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and foster self-compassion so they can thrive, not just survive. My mission is to offer compassionate, high-quality psychological support that respects each person's values and supports lasting healing and growth.

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.
