How much does therapy cost?

Rates vary by provider, time, and service. Rates start at $175 for a standard 45 minute session. Please note we do not accept insurance. You can likely be reimbursed for mental health services. Each provider does have a couple of sliding scale spots for low income women.

*We have limited sliding scale spots. We encourage you to consider bi-weekly or monthly sessions if costs is an issue.

Why does therapy cost so much? Is it worth it to pay?

Specialized mental health treatment and providers like ourselves have spent the same amount of training as most Nurse Practitioners. Unfortunately Insurance Companies do not recognize Mental Health Providers as Medical Providers and classify our services as “complementary.” This means mental health providers don’t get paid a descent wage to live off of for their extensive training.

As far as is it worth it, that is up to you. What’s it worth to feel confident in yourself? What’s it worth to stop doubting yourself? What’s it worth to show up as the parent you want to be? What’s it worth to save your relationships? To have healthy friendships, a sound marriage. What’s the alternative? Get divorced? keep yelling at your kids? Not be able to show up as the Mom you want to be? Keep dating those emotionally unavailable men? The truth is the work that we do can drastically change the way you feel about yourself and your life circumstances. How? Because ultimately the work we do will change the choices you make.

Are you a therapist that takes insurance?

Like most specialized therapists we are out-of-network providers. We don't take insurance but most insurance companies (except Kaiser) will reimburse you for sessions with Zyla Care.

How it works is you will pay Zyla directly out of pocket, send your insurance a document called a super-bill to your insurance company, and they will send you reimbursement checks. Super-bills look like invoices but have medical information on it. You can get yours in your client portal. They automatically populate monthly.

Be sure to call your insurance to find out if they will do this, not all insurance companies will but it's worth finding out.

When you call, here's what to say:

Tell them you're going to start to see an out of network provider for mental/behavioral health. Then ask them the following questions to make the reimbursement process goes smoothly:

Is there a deductible? If so, how much?

What's the % I'll get reimbursed per session?

What's the process to get reimbursed? Do I send super-bills? or Do you need me to fill out a form?

They might ask you what codes I use. I typically use: 90791-95; 90834-95; 90832-95

How often do we need to meet?

It depends on your needs and treatment. We encourage weekly for the first 4 weeks to build a foundation. After that you and your provider will determine the frequency that matches your schedule, budget, and clinical treatment. We do often encourage all clients to move to bi-weekly, eventually.

How long does treatment take?

Overall treatment varies and is dependent mostly on your willingness to implement change and new tools. Your Zyla provider will create an individualized care plan with you and give you an estimate of how long it might take to reach your goals.

If you want to decrease the length of sessions we recommend you consider EMDR therapy or Therapy Intensives. We offer Therapy Intensives using IFS, EMDR, and Hypnotherapy.

How long is a session?

Session lengths vary based on the service. Standard sessions are about 45 minutes long. Longer sessions are available if treatment requires.

Do you support Trans folx?

We are honored to support anyone who resonates with us and our values. We are Trans accepting but not competent.

What’s your Style/ Theoretical Orientation?

Zyla providers approach their clients using a feminist and relational lens. This means we see our clients as equals and seek to genuinely connect and relate to them. Zyla providers pull from a range of evidence based modalities primarily Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems. Zyla providers may also incorporate other evidence based interventions if suitable for your goals such as DBT.
