🌿 Frequently Asked Questions
This page holds questions that come up, not always, but frequently. If you have a question, this might be the right place.
🌿 Therapeutic Invitations
Q: What does therapy feel like when it’s emotionally attuned?
A: Therapy, when emotionally attuned, feels like being met without judgment. It offers space to pause, reflect, and move at your own rhythm. It’s not about fixing—it’s about unfolding.
Q: Is it okay if I don’t know what I need yet?
A: Yes. Many people arrive with questions, not answers. Therapy can be a place to listen inward, gently, and begin to name what’s stirring.
Q: What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?
A: That’s valid. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it takes time to find the right fit, pace, or approach. This space honors your past experiences and welcomes your hesitations.
🧘 Spiritual & Identity Welcome
Q: I’m part of the LGBTQ+ community. Will I be safe here?
A: Yes. This practice affirms queer identity and welcomes the fullness of who you are. Safety, dignity, and belonging are foundational.
Q: Is spirituality welcome in this space?
A: Absolutely. Whether your path is rooted in tradition, evolving, or undefined, your spiritual life is honored here. Therapy can hold sacred questions alongside emotional ones.
Q: When you talk about spirituality, are you only referring to Christianity?
A: Not at all. I hold space for spiritual diversity, mystery, and the parts of you that seek meaning beyond doctrine. Whether your path is interspiritual, earth-based, deconstructed, or still unfolding, it’s welcome here. Therapy can honor sacred questions that don’t always have names.
💬 Logistical Clarity
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. However, I can offer a superbill for potential reimbursement. We can explore what feels manageable together.
Q: What are your fees?
A: My current fee is $120 per session, with limited sliding scale spots available. I believe in transparency and will always discuss financial concerns with care.
Q: Why are your fees so high? I can't afford to pay this much.
A: Therapy is an investment in healing, presence, and relational depth. According to SimplePractice’s 2023–2024 national data, therapy rates in the U.S. range from $122 to $227 per session. My rate reflects a commitment to accessibility, sustainability, and depth. I offer limited sliding scale spots and invite open conversation about financial concerns.
✍️ Reflective Prompts
Q: What does emotional safety mean to you?
A: This isn’t a question with one answer. You might journal about moments when you felt seen, or times when your pace was honored. Therapy can help you rediscover what safety feels like in your body and relationships.
Q: What’s stirring in you lately?
A: This question isn’t diagnostic—it’s invitational. You might notice grief, longing, curiosity, or fatigue. All of it is welcome. Therapy begins with noticing.
Q: What does it mean to be held in a therapeutic space?
A: Being held doesn’t mean being fixed. It means being witnessed, accompanied, and supported as you move through what’s true for you. Therapy offers that kind of holding.
