Session Flow & Fees

"Compassion has no limits when hope sustains you.”

– Rosario López, LCSW

​

​

The introductory session last 75 minutes. Regular sessions last 45 minutes. A session duration may be flexible upon request and need.

​

After the initial session, I encourage clients to a minimum commitment of 4 weekly sessions. After that, we can continue with weekly or biweekly sessions. I have found that regular, scheduled sessions, especially in the beginning, are most effective for bringing about long-term change in deeply deep-rooted patterning. 

​

For integrative Mind-Body & CHI sessions, please wear loose, comfortable clothing (like you may wear to the gym or a yoga class).

​

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. You will be charged for any session that is cancelled after that time.

​

PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT TAKE INSURANCE

​

At Creative Healing Initiative I believe that everyone deserves access to affordable mental health care.  In an effort to make services more accessible, I offer them on a sliding scale.  If you need a reduced fee, please inquire about sliding scale spots.  While I cannot guarantee to accommodate all income levels, I will do my best to make services as affordable as possible.  In the event that I do not have sliding scale spots available, I will make my best attempt to refer you to a provider who can accommodate your needs or to a reduced fee clinic.

Payment for session is made at each session unless other arrangements are made. Most sessions are 45 minutes long unless more time is necessary.

Fees

I set fees with mutual aid in mind and therefore scale my fees between $100-125 for those who might benefit from or contribute to a scholarship for therapy services. You and I will determine your fee in a collaborative way. 

Payment Tiers Guide - kindly remember that this is just a guide. We can determine your fee collaboratively before the session. Use this guide to inform our conversation.

(For clients able to pay my standard fee and who would like to support access to therapy for lower income B I P O C and L G B T Q I A+ clients. Please consider this rate if your annual household income is $80,000 or more.)
