Real People, real Results

5 star service

I have been seeing Ms.Khatkhat weekly for almost 2 years and she has changed my life. She is very knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and intuitive. Her deep understanding  of trauma, poverty and social justice issues is extremely refreshing and she is by far the best therapist I have ever seen.

Frequently asked questions

What to expect before your consultation?

Our treatment services include initial sessions, standard follow-up, and extended sessions with our Psychotherapy and wellness team. Before your session, our providers will send you an extensive health history questionnaire to be filled out prior to your initial session. Your practitioner will then review your history, concerns, risk, and lifestyle, including past clinical notes and medical information, ahead of time.

How do personalized treatment plans work? 

Our clinicians establish a personalized treatment plan based on your symptoms, and a variety of advanced bio-individual assessment tools, including:

  • Depression, anxiety, and stress testing
  • Adverse Childhood Experience testing
  • Post Trauma Symptoms Severity Testing
  • Trauma Symptom Inventory
  • Lifespan attachment and trauma history markers
  • Safety and stabilization testing 

After reviewing the initial visit and the assessments, your clinician will give you a personalized treatment plan, including tailored trauma-specific treatments, body-based interventions, self-regulation skills, and lifestyle recommendations. You will also receive tools to track your progress throughout our work together.

I've gone to Therapy before. How is this different?

Traditional talk therapy helps you cope with your pain. We don't think that's enough. We're known for quickly producing deep, permanent change, creating personalized plans, and considering the unique needs of underrepresented communities. 

openclose
Does insurance cover psychotherapy services?

Since individual insurance plans vary, check with your provider if they cover registered psychotherapists. Your receipt will be emailed at the end of each session for a fast turnaround with reimbursements.

Other questions you can ask them:

  • What's the maximum amount covered per session?
  • What's the minimum and maximum length of the sessions covered (i.e., 30 minutes, 50 minutes, 80 minutes, etc.)?
  • What's the fiscal year start and end date of your coverage? Some plans are from January to December, and some are from April to March.
openclose
Do you offer a sliding scale? 

No. We offer free resources to support you throughout your wellness journey. You can join our intentional living blog here. Our Mental Wellness Quiz was also created with you in mind and is packed with curated resources to support your well-being.

openclose
Do you have experience working with diverse communities and lifestyles?

Cultural competency is one of our core values. Our psychotherapist has extensive training and experience both personally and professionally. And we uphold this value across our organization on all levels because we know how important it is to feel safe and understood culturally.

Frequently asked questions

What should we expect from our initial sessions?

It’s normal to feel a bit anxious at first, especially if you’ve never done this before. Your initial sessions are all about getting to know you better and earning your trust. We review your comprehensive intake and delve deeper into it. It’s also about you getting to know your therapist and starting to develop a level of comfort with them.

openclose
How does couples therapy work?

During couples therapy, you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of how your own history affects your relationship, gain insight into the stages of development of your relationship(s), learn to resolve conflict and improve communication, and embrace true intimacy.

openclose
Who goes to couples therapy?

Anyone who wants to understand their relationship dynamics can go to couples’ therapy regardless of the type of relationship they have. You only require the willingness to engage and explore, and a commitment to participate in the process.

openclose
Is couples’ therapy covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage and providers can vary in their coverage depending on a variety of factors. Check with your provider if they cover registered psychotherapists. A receipt will be emailed to you at the end of each session to submit to your provider. 

Other questions you can ask them:

  • What’s the maximum amount covered per session?
  • What’s the minimum and maximum length of the sessions covered (i.e. 30 minutes, 50 minutes, 80 minutes, etc.)?
  • What’s the fiscal year start and end date of your coverage? Some plans are set from January to December, some are set April to March.

How do I/we know if we need couples’ therapy?

Partners don’t always grow in the same way or pace and this difference can sometimes lead to feeling distant and disconnected. Couples come to therapy to resolve conflict, learn to communicate better, and feel closer to one another. But you don’t have to wait till problems show up. You can also choose therapy to deepen your bond before problems show up.
