Insurance.

I'm not in-network with your insurance, but not all is lost!

There are many advantages to seeing an out-of-network (OON) therapist, and, depending on your insurance, you could actually save money!

Why would I see an OON therapist? Find out below!

Rates & discounts.

The average cost of therapy in Virginia is

$111 - $180 per hour.

Offering affordable therapy is very important to me. So, my rates are amongst the lowest around - and with discounts, therapy at The Mind Garden is even more affordable!

Many of us assume that it'd be easier and less expensive to see an in-network therapist — I mean, that’s why we have insurance, right? But that’s not always the case! Oftentimes, it’s actually more beneficial to see an out-of-network (OON) therapist.

Are often overburdened with full caseloads & unbearably long waitlists

Often discourage communication outside of sessions due to their busy caseloads

What if i'm still not sure?

Being in therapy means that you are investing in your healing by "buying" a reserved time slot with someone who has the training and experience to help you improve your quality of life and overall well-being.

If you still aren't sure whether therapy is worth the money, but you're open to trying it, consider giving yourself about 3 months to experiment. If, during that time, you don't notice any positive changes in your thoughts or behaviors, learn more about yourself, or feel marginally lighter after each session, talk with your therapist about other options that may better suit you.
