Are You Taking New Clients?
We are constantly accepting new clients! We understand how difficult it can be to find therapists and dietitians who are available, especially those with experience in eating disorder treatment. We aim to always welcome new clients, ensuring you receive the care and support you need without waiting. We also recognize that reaching medical professionals can sometimes be challenging, but we guarantee a response to all inquiries within 48 hours, even on weekends. Please be sure to check your spam folder, as our messages may occasionally end up there!
Do You Take Insurance?
Najeeha Khan, Maranda Medina, and Jane Challgren are our therapists who accept insurances- they are paneled with BCBS, United (Najeeha and Maranda only), Aetna, Cigna, Oscar, and Oxford. We do not have any dietitians on insurances. However, most of our clinicians can provide a Superbill (a specific receipt provided to insurance) that you can submit to seek reimbursement directly, if your insurance has out of network benefits. If the cost of seeing one of our therapists is too high, please inform our schedulers about your situation, and they may be able to provide you with a sliding scale rate. You can also consider working with one of our interns for therapy. They are graduate counseling or social work students completing their final hours in their graduate degree, and they have a range of rates under $60/session. If you are interested in learning about why more therapists do not take insurance, this article helps explain that.
What Are Your Fees?
Most of our counseling and nutrition services are $150 - $165 per ~50 minute session. As mentioned above, we have two therapists who accept most major insurance plans. Our clinicians all carry sliding scale spots, based on need, and we also have Masters level student counseling interns who provide sliding scale therapy and pro-bono therapy, as they can accommodate lower fees under $60/session.
​What Ages Do You Provide Therapy and Dietitian Support For?

Do You Offer More Than Just Individual Therapy?

We have clinicians trained in EMDR, a popular, research-backed, effective trauma therapy. We also have clinicians trained in DBT, a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that helps folks improve skills in emotion regulation and mindfulness. We additionally have clinicians trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Internal Family Systems and Parts work.

How Long Does Therapy/Dietitian Work Take?
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all situation. The length of therapy depends on many things, including severity of symptoms when starting therapy, the number of goals you want to address, how often you come at the beginning, and other reasons. It's important to remember that therapy, any healing work, takes time. It's an investment in you and your future, for yourself and your loved ones. People who move through therapy quickly, often start with a mindset that they are ready to really do the work to grow in the ways they want to, even if it means leaning into some discomfort.
Dietitian work similarly takes some time, and also depends on things like the severity of the current relationship with food and body. Again, growing your willingness to try new, sometimes uncomfortable, things, will serve you in the process!
