THE INVESTMENT
OF THERAPY
Where Emotional Wealth begins.
INDIVIDUAL AND COUPLES THERAPY IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA
Therapy is an Investment
Therapy is an investment of time,
attention, and trust.
It’s also a financial commitment — one that reflects the seriousness of the work
we do together.
Fees start at $300 for individuals
and $350 for couples (full list here).
Our work together is an ongoing collaboration toward growth, healing, and deeper understanding — of yourself and your relationships.
Your wellbeing is the foundation of everything that truly matters. It’s an investment that endures far beyond the hour we spend together.
I invest deeply in each client I work with.
This includes ongoing advanced education, specialized training, and regular consultation with leading experts in the field. Each of these commitments ensures that our work stays current, responsive, and grounded in the best practices available.
I see myself as both a steward of your story and a collaborator in your process — bringing care, discernment, and a continuous pursuit of excellence to every stage of our work together.
My Investment
BEHIND THE SCENES
Therapy asks for more than attendance; it requires engagement, curiosity, and a willingness to stay with the process.
Choosing to invest in therapy means choosing to invest in yourself, your relationships, and the possibility of change.
The financial investment is one way of honoring that commitment — it creates a shared sense of accountability and helps sustain the space where growth happens.
Your Investment
YOUR PART OF THE WORK
My practice is built on mutual commitment.
I am dedicated to offering the highest standard of care to a select number of clients who are equally committed to showing up fully for their work.

INSURANCE & PRIVACY
As a private-pay therapist in California, I’ve chosen not to be affiliated with any insurance panels.
This choice reflects my commitment to confidentiality and clinical independence —so you can count on true privacy, flexible structure, and depth of focus in our work together.
Most insurance panels:
Don’t cover couples therapy unless one partner has a qualifying diagnosis.
Don’t reimburse extended or intensive sessions
Often require a formal diagnosis and access to records, and they may influence the type or length of care approved. I believe that making this determination should be up to the client and clinician, not the insurance company.
By working privately, we can determine the pace and depth of therapy based solely on your needs — not on external authorization.
If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly billing statement (superbill) for you to submit for possible reimbursement. Please confirm coverage directly with your provider.
WORKING TOGETHER
-
When you schedule an appointment, that time is reserved specifically for you.
If you need to reschedule, please provide 48 hours’ notice to avoid being charged the full session fee. If an unavoidable conflict or emergency arises, I will do my best to reschedule within the same week
Intensives Cancellation Policy
A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking and is non-refundable.
The remaining balance is due on Day 1 of the Intensive. By booking, you reserve this dedicated time unless you cancel at least two weeks prior to Day 1. Cancellations made within two weeks of the start date will be charged the full amount of the Intensive package. -
Payment is due at the time of service and can be made via credit, debit, HSA/FSA card, Venmo, or PayPal. Please inquire about cryptocurrency options.
-
A limited number of reduced-fee slots are available based on financial need and practice capacity. Fees are reviewed periodically. Please inquire for more information.
-
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

An Ecosystem
of Care
ROOTED IN CONNECTION
Mycelia Therapy operates within a broader ecosystem of care that values both excellence and accessibility.
Full-fee sessions sustain a limited number of reduced-fee spots — especially for clients from marginalized communities — and support my work with The Liberation Institute, a San Francisco–based nonprofit expanding access to mental health care for all, regardless of income or identity.
This model makes it possible to offer deeply engaged, high-quality care while supporting broader equity in the mental health field.
Healing, like mycelial growth, thrives in networks of mutual support. When you invest in therapy with me, you’re not only investing in your own transformation — you’re helping strengthen the web of care that makes collective healing possible.
