FAQs

  • Please contact us if you would like to communicate via email to ask about our services or schedule here for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit and can work together.

    Once you schedule a phone intake, we will call you with the phone number you provided.

    After the phone intake and a new patient appointment is scheduled, you will be sent an email confirmation including appointment details and a link to register for the patient portal, where you can complete new patient paperwork.

    For in-person appointments, you will be given extra instruction on how to enter the building. Please complete new patient paperwork prior to your appointment otherwise it may cut into your scheduled appointment time.

    For virtual appointments, you will be sent a link to access the meeting the morning of the appointment after the paperwork is complete.

  • You can use your in-network benefits, out-of-network benefits, or self-pay for services.

    Just because a therapist is not in network with your insurance does not mean you can’t use your insurance benefits.

    Your out-of-network insurance benefits an help cover the cost of your sessions!

  • $230 for the initial consultation
    $200 for an individual 55 min+ session
    $175 for an individual 45 min session

    Please see our practice policy section for information on self-pay rates and informed consent to treatment.

  • The good news is that your insurance may have out-of-network (OON) mental health coverage.

    1. You self-pay for services up front

    2. We give you a superbill (basically a fancy receipt) for services

    3. You submit the superbill to insurance

    4. Insurance reimburses you directly anywhere between 40-80% of what you paid! That means if you paid $200 for therapy, your insurance may reimburse you between $80-$160. That’s a huge discount!

    Check your OON benefits here!

  • Yes! We are located at 900 Granby St, Ste 206 in downtown Norfolk (CEO building).

  • Yes! Whether you are open to incorporating art in treatment or would prefer traditional talk therapy, we will meet you where you are in the moment.

  • See what kind of supplies will be available to you at an in-person session here if you want to provide your own materials. We can also provide you a starter kit for a small $30 materials fee.

Your insurance may still pay for therapy even if a therapist is not in network.

Some insurances have out-of-network (OON) benefits and can help save you thousands of dollars on therapy a year!

Try it out yourself! Experience what drawing can do for you now.

Drawing is great so you can finally find something to do with your hands. Put that fidget energy to use!

It can improve fine motor skills, communication skills, and emotion regulation skills.

What did you notice? What it easy to start creating or did you pause and get stuck? Did you find yourself criticizing yourself or the drawing app? Did you avoid drawing altogether? What might you be able to learn about yourself from this experience?

Experience drawing and so much more during your appointments.
