Self Pay
$150 per session
Some clients choose private pay for greater privacy, flexibility, and control over their care.
When you use insurance, your provider may be required to submit a mental health diagnosis and information about your treatment to your insurance company for billing and authorization purposes. Depending on the plan, the insurer may also request additional documentation to determine whether services are medically necessary.
With private pay:
Your insurance company is not billed or routinely given information about your treatment.
A diagnosis is not submitted to insurance unless you request documentation, such as a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Treatment can be guided by your needs rather than an insurance company’s coverage requirements.
You may have greater flexibility regarding the focus, frequency, and duration of therapy.
Fewer third parties are routinely involved in the financial administration of your care.
Some clients value this additional layer of discretion when navigating sensitive personal, professional, family, divorce, custody, or legal circumstances.
Choose Your Level of Support
At Survival Mode Therapy, therapy is an investment in your well-being, and providing thoughtful, trauma-informed care is an ongoing commitment. The work extends beyond our sessions through continued education, specialized training, professional consultation, and reflection that help me continue growing as a therapist.
I offer three levels of financial participation to acknowledge different financial circumstances while supporting the sustainability and quality of care I provide. Regardless of the rate selected, every client receives the same clinical commitment and quality of care.
Full Support | $150 per session
Suggested annual household income: $80,000 and above
Supporting the full cost of ongoing therapeutic care.
The full rate supports our work together as well as the ongoing professional development that informs my practice. This includes specialized trauma therapy training, consultation with experienced clinicians, continuing education, and the resources needed to maintain a sustainable private practice.
Choosing the full rate helps sustain my continued growth as a therapist and my ability to offer thoughtful, informed, and responsive care.
Schedule Free Consultation
Shared Support | $125 per session
Suggested annual household income: $50,000–$79,999
Balancing accessibility with shared investment.
This level is intended for individuals who can contribute toward the full cost of therapy but would benefit from some financial flexibility. Your contribution helps make ongoing therapy more manageable while supporting the professional resources, training, and consultation that inform the care I provide.
Schedule Free Consultation
Access Support | $90 per session
Suggested annual household income: Under $50,000
Prioritizing access during financially challenging circumstances.
This level is intended for individuals experiencing greater financial constraints who would otherwise have difficulty accessing therapy at the standard rate. It reflects my commitment to making trauma-informed care more accessible while recognizing that a sustainable practice is necessary to provide consistent, meaningful therapeutic support over time.

Eligibility and Self-Attestation
The suggested income ranges are intended as general guidelines rather than absolute requirements. Household size, dependents, and significant financial obligations may also be considered when determining an appropriate rate.
To request a reduced rate, you will be asked to self-attest that your reported annual household income and financial circumstances are accurate to the best of your knowledge. This approach is intended to make the process straightforward and respectful without routinely requiring tax returns or other financial documents. Supporting documentation may be requested when clarification is reasonably necessary.
Reduced-fee appointments are limited and subject to availability. Eligibility does not guarantee a reduced-fee opening. Eligibility may be reviewed annually or when financial circumstances materially change.
If your financial circumstances do not fit neatly within these guidelines, you are welcome to discuss your unique situation during an initial consultation.
My intention is to create a transparent, respectful approach to pricing that acknowledges both the financial realities people face and the ongoing investment required to provide quality therapeutic care.
