Equity Priced Framework
My Commitment to Accessible, Values-Aligned Therapy
Equity pricing is my way of offering more accessible therapy for people — whether they have insurance, are uninsured, or are underinsured — without sacrificing client privacy, my personal and professional values, or the long-term sustainability of my practice.
I believe therapy should be both accessible and ethically grounded, and this framework allows me to honor the full range of financial experiences people bring into the room.
2026 Fee Structure
Beginning January 1st, 2026, my fees are as follows:
Individual Therapy Relationship Therapy
50-minute session: $150 50-minute session: $190
90-minute session: $175 90 minute session: $230
Equity Pricing (Sliding Scale)
To keep therapy accessible for a wide range of people, I offer an equity pricing structure with three tiers. You are welcome to choose the tier that best matches your current financial circumstances — no documentation required. Please see the delightful visual below to help support you in navigating an honest assessment of what feels best for your current financial situation.
Equity Pricing Tiers (Individual therapy per 50-minute session)
$50–$80
$80–$120
$120–$150 (full fee)
Equity pricing relies on clients making an honest assessment of what they can sustainably afford. Clients who are able to pay near or at the full fee help make it possible for me to offer reduced fees to others who would not be able to access therapy otherwise.
How to Choose Your Fee
Your fee should:
Feel sustainable
Not cause financial hardship
Reflect your current level of financial access
Feel aligned with your values and circumstances
You can adjust your fee at any time. Reduced-fee slots are limited, and I ask that they be used by those who truly need them.
If You Have Questions
Feel free to reach out at any time. I’m always happy to talk through accessible options and support you in choosing a fee that is both manageable and aligned with the value of your therapeutic work.
Why I Do Not Accept Insurance
I do not participate in any insurance networks at this time. This decision was made with a great deal of care, and it reflects my commitment to confidentiality, anti-oppressive practice, and providing high-quality, emotionally attuned care.
Here are some of the primary reasons:
1. Protecting your privacy and autonomy
Insurance companies require detailed diagnostic information and ongoing documentation to determine whether they will reimburse a claim. As an anti-oppression therapist working with marginalized communities, I value keeping your mental health information as private and secure as possible. Working outside of insurance networks allows us to keep your care between us — without external oversight or requirements.
2. Protecting the therapeutic process
Insurance companies often require certain diagnoses for reimbursement and may limit the number of sessions they will cover. This can place pressure on clients and therapists to frame treatment in a way that meets insurance criteria rather than what is genuinely therapeutic. Private pay therapy allows us to move at the pace that is right for you.
3. Sustainability and quality of care
Insurance contracting requires a significant and ongoing investment of time, administration, and often additional financial cost. These responsibilities can take time away from:
Client care
Preparation and case management
Continuing education
Consultation
Rest, reflection, and integration
Insurance companies also hold enormous financial power, and they often minimize their contributions to mental health care. This can show up as:
Delayed payments
Strict limits on reimbursement
Requiring therapists to refund payments months later if documentation is questioned
These practices make it very difficult for private practitioners to sustain a therapeutic career without burnout. By remaining out of network, I am able to offer high-quality therapy that is spacious, slow, attuned, and grounded in my values.
Superbills and Out-of-Network Reimbursement
If your insurance plan offers out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I am happy to provide superbills and answer questions about this process, though reimbursement depends entirely on your insurance provider.
