“I thought I was going to be nervous talking to someone I didn’t know about our problems but it felt good to get them out especially with someone I didn’t know. Like once I joined the call I was ready I didn’t mind telling her about anything, I felt that I can be open with her. Her being a black women also made me more comfortable and eased my mind.”

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.

She's very kind. She's a great listener and helps us define patterns and presents us with a lot of great solutions. I really enjoy meeting with her every week.

I love that she is very warm and compassionate; because with her it’s I understand what you’re going through so here’s some solutions to help you better yourself and not just pity you. I love that she has a plan to help you grow but she also asks you what you prefer or what you feel is best. I’ve never felt more comfortable talking to any other therapist and I would say she’s top two and she not number two. She’s very knowledgeable and helps you use your real life and combines it with different exercises to help better yourself .
