Our rates reflect the Arlington, Virginia market — nearly two decades of experience and three licenses across DC, MD, and VA are priced accordingly. Insurance is how we make that care reachable. However, we do offer some special sliding scales for certain services and populations.
If you have insurance, you pay only your copay per session — typically $0 to $60 depending on your plan. We handle billing on our end. You show up and do the work.

HOW INSURANCE WORKS HERE
We verify your insurance before your first session. You will know exactly what you owe before you ever walk in the door.
Some insurance plans are processed through Headway and Grow. Headway and Grow is a free billing platform that handles insurance credentialing and claims on our behalf — meaning for certain plans, your session will be billed and collected through Headway's secure system. It is completely free for you to use and does not change your copay or coverage. You simply pay your standard copay and Headway handles everything else behind the scenes.

REDUCE WHAT YOU PAY
HSA and FSA accounts are accepted — and they lower your real cost.
If you have a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account, therapy sessions are an eligible expense. Using pre-tax dollars reduces what you actually pay by 20–30%. Ask us about this before your first session.
HSA — Health Savings Account
Paired with a high-deductible health plan. Funds roll over year to year. Accepted for all sessions.
Real cost example
$200 session paid with HSA at 25% tax rate = effective cost of $150. Same therapy, less out of pocket.
FSA — Flexible Spending Account
Pre-tax dollars through your employer. Accepted for all sessions. Check your plan year deadlines.
How to use it
Pay with your HSA or FSA card at time of service. Let us know at intake and we'll format receipts correctly.
