What Therapy Actually Costs
for You.
If you’re considering therapy for social anxiety, you probably have one big question:
“Can I afford this?”
You might look like you’re doing fine on the outside; yet inside, the constant doubt and second-guessing is making socializing feel daunting.
Conversations replay in your head.
You second-guess what you said or did. And even when things go well, it was luck.If you’ve tried to push through it and still feel stuck, you’re not alone; and this is exactly the kind of work I do.
Let’s walk through that question clearly.
Individual therapy sessions are $200 per 60-mintutes or $175 per 45-minutes.
People start with the 60-minute intake and then most progress to 45-minute weekly sessions to start, then adjust as progress builds.
Importantly, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your care. You can request this at any time before starting services.
What about insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly.
Depending on your plan, many clients receive partial reimbursement for sessions.
I provide a superbill through my system, which you can submit to your insurance and wait for reimbursement.I also use a service (Thrizer) that can handle the reimbursement paperwork for you, so you don’t have to deal with it yourself.
Many people are surprised to find that therapy ends up being more affordable than they expected.
To make this process easier, I use a service that helps estimate your out-of-network benefits
and can handle reimbursement paperwork for you.
All you’ll need is your insurance card, 60 seconds of time, and you can use the tool below
to see what therapy might actually cost.
While this isn’t exact, it gives you a much clearer starting point than guessing.

Most people I work with have already tried to “figure this out” on their own.
Therapy isn’t about forcing yourself to be different.
It’s about understanding what’s underneath the anxiety; and learning how to respond to it in a new way.“If connection is essential for recovery, then belonging is the cure.”
