FAQ

answers to some commonly asked questions…

  • Our address is 4545 42nd Street NW, Washington DC 20016. We’re just a couple of blocks away from the Tenleytown/AU Metro station! We share space with another therapy practice, called Rae Wellness.

  • Yes! We can offer virtual sessions for clients who are located in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a private space.

  • Weight loss is not the point of therapy at this practice. We're here to heal from a lifetime of diet culture and anti-fatness, and come home to our bodies and our selves. Weight loss does not bring about that kind of healing.

  • Absolutely! We work with most kinds of mental health concerns. A free, 15-minute call is a great way to figure out whether we're a good fit. And if we're not, we're happy to refer you to another amazing therapist that we know and trust.

  • Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job! Some people stay for a few months, and others prefer to stay for several years.

  • We do! For individual therapy, we partner with a fabulous non-profit called ProjectHEAL to offer limited discounted spots. You can apply for that directly through ProjectHEAL’s Treatment Placement program.

    For individual supervision, we use a sliding scale, offering up to 1/3 off the full rate, as needed.

  • No. Insurers come up with so many ways to deny claims, underpay for services, and even refuse to pay for services. Trust me - I get it! I pay out-of-network for my own therapist, too! Instead, we partner with a platform called Reimbursify to help you get the most out of your out-of-network mental health benefits at no cost to you.
