A NOTE ABOUT PRICING:

I understand that you may have some questions about my rates, and I want to provide some clarity regarding the value and rationale behind them. As a licensed therapist in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC my fees are reflective of several key factors that ensure you receive high-quality and effective counseling services:

  1. Experience and Expertise: I bring over 5 years of specialized experience in couple's counseling, having worked with a diverse range of couples to address various relationship issues. My expertise is continually updated through ongoing education and training to ensure that I provide the most effective and current therapeutic techniques.

  2. Personalized Care: Each session is tailored to your unique relationship dynamic and needs. This personalized approach requires not only a deep understanding of relational patterns and individualized strategies, but also a collaboration with current and/or past health care professionals which contributes to the overall effectiveness of our work together.

  3. Professional Credentials: My qualifications include 6+ years of studying human psychology and behavior, licensure in multiple states, and annual continuing education workshops and conferences to stay up-to-date on best practices, which represent a significant investment in my education and professional development. These credentials enable me to offer a high standard of care and innovative therapeutic approaches.

  4. Confidential and Supportive Environment: My practice is designed to provide a safe and supportive space where you and your partner can openly explore and address your concerns. This environment is crucial for meaningful progress and is supported by the latest practices in privacy and confidentiality.

  5. Administrative and Operational Costs: Maintaining a private practice involves various operational costs, including reliable EHR systems, HIPPA compliant Telehealth platforms, and professional liability insurance to name a few. These costs are necessary to ensure a smooth and effective therapeutic process.

I believe that the investment in individual and couple's therapy is an investment in your long-term health and success. I am committed to providing a valuable and impactful experience that aligns with your goals and aspirations as a couple. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this in more detail, please feel free to reach out. I am here to support you in any way I can.
