“I was looking for a woman of color as my therapist, I really wanted someone I felt would take the time to understand me and could relate to me. My first session with Vanessa was great and she checked all those boxes for me. She’s very direct which I really appreciate but also wasn’t rushing me.”

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.
