We know how difficult it can be to find a therapist who understands us and truly sees us with no judgment. Our therapists are all part of the LGBTQIA+ community themselves and provide expert, affirming care.
Most folks with in-network insurance will pay just their copay (usually around $15-50) for therapy sessions (this will depend on your individual plan and whether or not you’ve met your deductible). Otherwise, sessions are $129/visit when paying out-of-pocket.
We currently offer talk therapy in California, Colorado, and Florida (with more states to come). Not in one of those states? We’re expanding to other states as soon as we can. Let us know your interest by filling out this short form.

This can help you get reimbursed for some or all of your out-of-pocket payment.
