Frequently Asked Questions

  • Firstly, welcome. It is a massively brave thing to prioritize your mental health and reach out for help. For whatever you are going through, therapy is a place for all the parts of your story to be held and seen. 

    Therapy can take so many forms. A lot of what therapy looks like can be based on your relationship with the therapist, your intersection of identities and modalities that your therapist offers, and your motivation for change. Often the process looks like talk therapy but sometimes it can look like paying attention to what is happening in your body or expressing creatively. Therapy is a 50-minute session, one time a week, where you meet your therapist to find help with life's challenges in a collaborative and supportive environment. 

  • It can take some time to find the right therapist. If there are specific issues you would like to work through or you are looking for a therapist with a specific speciality, please look at our therapists' individual profiles. 

    All our therapists offer a free 20-minute consultation that is a good place to ask questions and see if it feels like a good fit. After that, if it feels like a good fit, you’ll schedule ongoing sessions with the therapist and discuss the frequency. Typically sessions are weekly, especially in the beginning of building the therapeutic relationship in order for trust to be built.

  • All therapists provide therapy to individuals. A few of our therapists provide therapy to couples, relationships, and groups. Please refer to the offerings page. 

    Each of our therapists are trained in different modalities. Some of these modalities include but are not limited to: Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Relational Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing), Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, and Lifespan Integration, to name a few.

    One of our therapists also offers immigration evaluations in English and Spanish. 

    We also offer therapy or support groups that center various themes and issues.

  • Please refer to our therapists' individual pages as fees vary by provider. 

    All our therapists reserve a number of sliding scale or reduced fee spots to increase accessibility for clients. Please reach out to them about the availability of these spots.

  • At this time none of our therapists take insurance and would be considered and out-of-network provider. If you would like, we are able to provide you a superbills (an itemized receipt) for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Please check with your insurance plan about these benefits.

  • All our therapists provide online sessions via a HIPAA-compliant video platform. Carissa Singh offers in person therapy located in Capitol Hill.

All our therapists come from BIPOC and/or mixed race backgrounds, with some having intersectionalities with the LGBTQIA+ community.

    We provide therapy sessions in English. Marissa Merrill offers immigration evaluations in Spanish and Melanie Ukosakul can provide sessions in a mix of English and Thai for Thai-speaking clients.
