Fees & Insurance
Therapy is an investment in your future self. Here is a transparent breakdown of what sessions cost across our team, and how to use your benefits to cover them.
Fees Overview
For more details about fees and insurance coverage see the sections below.
Your rate depends on which therapist you work with. See every therapist’s fee, confirmed before your first session.
Individual Therapy
The Safe Container
Individual therapy is a collaborative process where we gently untangle the roots of anxiety, trauma, and overwhelm. This is your dedicated hour to be heard, understood, and equipped with tools for change.
Our team includes Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying). Fees vary by therapist. What matters more than the number is finding the person whose focus fits what you are carrying.

Couples Therapy
A Structured Roadmap to Connection
Most couples arrive at therapy exhausted from the same arguments, the same silence, the same patterns. The last thing you need is to spend months retelling your story before anything meaningful happens.
There are two ways to start with us.
The Gottman Method track, with Leanne. Before you ever meet, each partner completes a comprehensive clinical assessment. This is not a questionnaire you fill out and never hear about again. It is a detailed exploration of your relationship’s unique patterns, the places where you are still connected, and the tender spots where things have come undone. Your first session runs 90 minutes because you walk through what the assessment revealed, together.
Couples therapy with Ana or Samantha. A more traditional path that begins in the room. You start with a standard session and build understanding session by session, without a formal assessment stage up front.
Both are real work. The difference is where you begin, and how much structure you want before you do.
1. Relationship Checkup
A deep-dive online clinical assessment completed individually by each partner.
2. Deep Dive Review
First Session (90 mins). We review assessment results together and create your roadmap.
3. Ongoing Work
Standard Sessions (60 mins). Practical tools to rebuild trust, intimacy, and communication.
No assessment stage. You begin with a standard session and build from there. Sessions run 60 minutes, slightly longer than individual therapy, which is standard for couples work.
Group Therapy

The first session is about getting to know each other. You will talk about what brings you to therapy, your history, and what you are hoping for. There is no pressure to dive deep immediately. It is also a chance for you to see whether this therapist feels like the right fit.
