Frequently Asked Questions
Therapy can feel overwhelming. Your questions don’t have to.
If you're exploring therapy for yourself or someone you care about, you probably have a lot of questions. We created this FAQ page to help you feel informed, supported, and confident as you take the next step.
If you don’t see your question here, reach out. We’re here to help.
Are you accepting new clients?
Yes! We don’t believe in waitlists. You’ll be scheduled for a free consultation within 10 days of reaching out. A current list of providers with openings is available in our scheduling widget—just press any Book a Free Consult button on our site.
Do you take insurance? How does it work?
We’re in-network with select insurance providers. If your plan isn’t listed, we can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Not sure about your coverage? We’ll help you check your benefits before you start.
What are your rates and fees?
Rates vary by service type, clinician, and length of session. We’ll review all costs upfront—no surprises. You’ll also receive a federally required Good Faith Estimate of expected charges. We encourage you to use the Fair Health Consumer website to confirm our rates are representative of our local market. Check out our rates and insurance page for more information.
What can I expect for my first session?
Your first session is a chance to meet your therapist, get comfortable, and talk about what brings you in. You’ll explore your goals, ask questions, and decide together what therapy could look like moving forward. There is no pressure to share everything at once. You set the pace.
Do you offer a sliding scale for payment?
Yes! We reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots to make therapy more accessible. Ask during your consultation if this might be an option for you.
How can therapy benefit me?
Therapy offers a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can address a wide range of psychological issues—from stress and anxiety to relationship troubles and personal growth. Our therapists are here to provide a fresh perspective and scientifically-backed strategies designed to help you face your challenges. Benefits of therapy include enhanced self-understanding, improved day-to-day functioning, support during tough times, better coping mechanisms for emotional stress, and boosted self-esteem and confidence.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy is suitable for anyone interested in gaining deeper self-awareness, facing personal challenges, or wanting to improve their mental health and overall life satisfaction. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or just feel ready to grow personally, therapy can offer valuable support and skills.
What does a typical therapy session involve?
Therapy is tailored to each individual's needs. Generally, you will discuss recent events in your life, progress you've made, and insights gained since the last session. Depending on your goals, therapy can be short-term for specific issues, or longer-term for more complex difficulties. Active participation is crucial—you'll get the most out of therapy if you apply what you learn in sessions to your daily life. We may also provide exercises to practice between sessions to help reinforce your learning.
Is everything we talk about in therapy confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of our therapy practice. You can expect that what you discuss in session stays between you and your therapist, except in rare cases where disclosed by law (e.g., in cases of threatened harm or abuse). We’ll review confidentiality policies together at your first session.
What types of therapy do you offer?
Our practice offers a wide range of therapeutic approaches to suit different needs, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Emotion-focused Therapy (EFT)
- Art and Play Therapy
- Narrative Therapy
- Solution-focused Brief Therapy
- Trauma-informed practices
These modalities can help address issues like depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life transitions, and much more.

Do you work with all age groups?
Yes! From kids to seniors, our therapists specialize in supporting clients across the lifespan.
What if I can't find the therapist I want to see on the scheduling tool?
If the therapist you're interested in isn't listed, it likely means they're currently not accepting new clients. You can contact them directly via their bio page to express your interest and get information on joining their waitlist.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
Under the No Surprises Act, we provide a Good Faith Estimate to all clients who are not using insurance. This estimate details the expected costs for therapy and services before your first paid appointment, ensuring there are no surprises regarding your investment in your mental health.
Can I choose my therapist?
Absolutely. We want you to feel connected to your therapist. If it doesn’t feel like the right fit, we’ll help you transition to another clinician.
What if I don’t feel comfortable with my therapist after a few sessions?
It's important that you feel comfortable and connected with your therapist. If, after a few sessions, you feel that the fit isn’t right, we encourage you to discuss this openly with your therapist. Our team is committed to your care and will facilitate a transfer to another therapist in our practice if that’s your preference. We want to ensure that you feel supported and understood throughout your therapy journey.
What is the cancellation policy?
We ask for 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule without charge.
Do you offer support between sessions?
Yes, through our secure client portal you can message your therapist, access resources, and manage appointments.
Do you run groups or workshops?
Yes! We offer therapy groups, identity-affirming programs, and skills workshops. Check our Groups and Programs pages for current offerings.
How do I tell my child about therapy?
Keep it simple and positive: “Therapy is a place where you can talk, play, and share feelings with someone who’s here to help.” We’ll give you age-appropriate tips before the first session.
Do you offer virtual and in-person appointments?
Yes. We provide in-person therapy at our Collegeville, PA office and telehealth services for clients anywhere in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Delaware, Vermont, Massachusetts, and DC. You choose what feels best for you.
How long are sessions?
Most sessions are 50 to 55 minutes. Group sessions vary depending on the program. Your therapist will guide you through what to expect.
