Radical honesty· No blank slates· Skip the Gay 101· Direct feedback

I don't do the "blank slate" stare.

Traditional therapy asks you to talk to a wall. I don't. I am an active participant in your recovery. You aren't paying for a nod; you are paying for perspective.

The "in-network" cost

Using insurance means a permanent psychiatric diagnosis on your record, audited notes, and a company deciding how many sessions you get.

The private advantage

Our work stays completely between us. No diagnosis codes, no audits, no limits. Most clients get 50–80% back via out-of-network benefits — I provide the monthly superbill.

Questions people actually ask

Can I get reimbursed?

Yes — most clients get 50–80% back using out-of-network benefits. I hand you a monthly superbill; you submit it in minutes.

How fast will you reply?

Same workday, always. Even when I'm unavailable, you'll hear from me so you're not left wondering.

Do we have to click?

Yes — that's what the free 15-minute consult is for. No forms, no pitch, just a conversation to see if we fit.

Why don't you take insurance?

On purpose. Nobody in a billing office should decide what your care is worth — or read your notes.

Fifteen free minutes. I'll be honest with you — it's kind of my thing.
