What are the fees and insurance options?
Please get in touch for current session fees, insurance participation, and payment options at Safe & Sound Psychotherapy. These details can be discussed before scheduling.
Do I need to know what I want to work on?
You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. Your first conversation can be a place to ask questions and begin putting words to what you’re looking for.
