No. Most people who come in aren't ready to quit. They're just tired of things staying the same or they have started to be confronted with consequences. Ambivalence is one of the most normal parts of this, and it's something we work with directly rather than try to talk you out of. There's no requirement to arrive with a decision already made. You just have to be willing to get curious about what's been going on.

We’re a private-pay practice and don’t bill insurance. If you have out-of-network benefits, we can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurer. For details, see our Rates page.

Most people who walk in here feel that way. The honest answer is that "bad enough" isn't a real threshold. If something is costing you more than you want it to, that's worth looking at. You don't have to have lost everything, hit a wall, or have people in your life worried about you. If part of you keeps coming back to the question of whether something is a problem, that part is usually worth listening to.

Rates vary by service and session length. All current rates pricing is listed on our rates page. We aim to reduce cost being a barrier to therapy and have sliding scale rates available.

We offer virtual therapy only at this time. Our clinicians are licensed to provide telehealth to clients who reside in Ohio, Kentucky, or Washington. If you’re traveling or moving, reach out and we’ll help confirm what’s possible.

So here's the honest version: most attempts to stop are really attempts to override the pattern through willpower or accountability, and that can work until the pull comes back, because whatever the pattern has been responding to is still there. The work here is less about trying harder to stop and more about getting curious about why the pull keeps showing up and what it's actually been doing for you.

Sessions are held virtually through SimplePractice. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a private space—at home, in an office, or even in your car. Before each session, you’ll receive a secure link by text or email to join.

Fit matters most—you should work with a therapist you feel comfortable with and can trust. If you’re unsure where to start, we’re good at helping match you based on your needs, goals, and preferences. And if it doesn’t feel like the right fit after starting, we’ll help you talk through next steps and can offer referrals—either within our practice or outside of it—so you’re supported in finding the right care.

We keep our schedules intentionally flexible, so we can often book new clients relatively quickly. If you’re hoping to be seen sooner, let us know—we may be able to offer a more immediate appointment based on availability.

The first session is the beginning of a relationship. We’ll acknowledge that we’re essentially strangers at first—and there’s no expectation to share anything you don’t feel ready or comfortable sharing yet. It’s mainly a getting-to-know-you conversation: what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and what you want in a therapist, so we can build trust and clarify next steps together.
