Investment in Your Sovereignty

---

Your journey toward reclaiming your narrative, your body, and your peace is a profound investment. My payment structure is a conscious choice to protect the quality, focus, and confidentiality of our work, while also making space for community care.

Individual & EMDR Therapy: The Sovereign Container 

My work with individuals is a deep, one-on-one partnership. To protect its focus, integrity, and your privacy, I primarily operate as a private-pay practice. This allows us to work outside of systems that require a mental health diagnosis and to tailor our work entirely to your journey of sovereignty and integration, without external limits. 

Standard Rates for Individual Work: 

60-Minute Individual Session (PhenoSomo Decolonizing): $200 

90-Minute EMDR Intensives: $250 

Your Payment Pathways for Individual Therapy: 

1. The Sovereign Path: Private Pay (Recommended) Paying out-of-pocket is the purest expression of this work. It ensures: 

Complete Confidentiality: No diagnosis, treatment plans, or notes are shared with any third party. 

Unlimited Focus: Our work is not constrained by session limits or insurance definitions of "medical necessity." 

Full Alignment: This path is entirely focused on your healing, on your terms. 

2. Using Your Insurance Benefits via Mentaya 

I partner with Mentaya, a service that helps you get reimbursed for out-of-network therapy costs. This can be a helpful option for those who wish to utilize their benefits. 

How it works: You pay my full session fee directly to me at the time of service. Mentaya then handles all the paperwork, submitting superbills to your insurance so you can be reimbursed directly. 

Please Note: Using insurance requires a mental health diagnosis to be submitted to your provider. This becomes part of your permanent medical record. 

A Commitment to Access: Sliding Scale Tiers 

I hold a limited number of sliding scale spots. This scale is not a discount but a conscious redistribution of resources based on income, financial privilege, and access to wealth. The guiding principle is solidarity, not charity. Please choose your tier honestly. 

Tier, Session Rate, Who This Tier Is For 

Standard, $200, For those with financial security, generational wealth, property ownership, or reliable income that comfortably covers all needs and wants. 

Mid-Scale, $125−175, For those with steady income but limited disposable funds (e.g., students with support, salaried workers with debt). You can meet your basic needs but may stress about unexpected expenses. 

Low-Scale, $80−120, For those with significant financial constraints, such as part-time or unstable income, significant debt, or those who are unpaid caregivers. Meeting basic needs is often a challenge. 

Community Care, $40−60, (Extremely Limited) For those experiencing systemic poverty and would otherwise go without care (e.g., unemployed/underemployed, on fixed/disability income, or queer/trans BIPOC students with no family support). 

How to Determine Your Tier:

 I operate on a trust-based model. Please make an honest assessment using these questions: 

Income & Wealth: What is my household income? Do I have savings, investments, or generational wealth? 

Financial Security: Can I meet my basic needs (food, housing, healthcare) without stress? Could I handle a $500 unexpected expense? 

Privilege & Access: Do I have economic privileges (e.g., citizenship, educational access, family support) that others may not? 

Impact: If I pay the lower end of the scale, what am I asking my therapist to sacrifice? Is this sustainable for them? 

Please Note: The Community Care tier is extremely limited. If you have financial security, savings, or insurance benefits, selecting the Standard tier or using Mentaya allows me to reserve reduced-rate spots for those most in need. 

Group Therapy: The Community Container 

My group work is designed to create a circle of shared experience and collective healing. To honor the spirit of community access, I offer more flexibility for this format. 

Insurance: I am able to bill insurance directly for group therapy. 

Sliding Scale: A limited number of sliding scale spots are available based on need and financial circumstance. 

Eligibility: Participation is based on appropriateness and fit, which we determine in a pre-group consultation. 

Please inquire for current group offerings, rates, and availability.
