Do you take insurance?

I’m an out-of-network provider. Many clients use their OON benefits for partial reimbursement. I also partner with Reimbursify to help submit claims on your behalf.

What’s included in your session fee?

All therapy sessions include evidence-based support like CBT, ACT, somatic tools, pain education, and mind-body strategies — no surprise add-ons or upselling.

What if I can’t afford your full fee?

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots starting at $150. No income documents are required — just a short request form based on your current circumstances.

What is Empowered Relief?

Empowered Relief® is a one-session, research-based class developed at Stanford that teaches practical tools for managing pain. It's offered monthly on a pay-what-you-can basis ($0–99).

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes — session bundles and flexible payment plans are available on request. We can talk through options in a free consultation.

Do you provide a Good Faith Estimate?

Yes. In accordance with the No Surprises Act, I provide a Good Faith Estimate that outlines expected costs for clients who are uninsured or not using insurance.

Can I use out-of-network benefits and still request a sliding scale rate?

Yes. If insurance reimbursement still leaves therapy unaffordable, you're welcome to discuss sliding scale options. I trust your honest reflection to guide the best fit.

What’s the difference between your sliding scale and Open Path?

Open Path is a nonprofit with set rates and membership. My sliding scale is flexible, direct, and based on current financial need. If you’re unsure which fits best, I’m happy to help.

Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for therapy?

Yes. Therapy is generally covered under Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts. I accept both, but it's always a good idea to confirm eligibility with your provider.

A calm, book-filled office with a tidy desk and open laptop — reflecting thoughtful, personalized care that’s grounded in expertise and designed for real-life healing.

The Chronic Pain Care You Deserve

At Alcove Mental Health, we offer concierge-style, integrative therapy specializing in chronic pain, fatigue, stress, burnout, and complex health challenges among adults.

Our self-pay services allow for the greatest flexibility and personalization, with sessions fully tailored to your needs. No add-ons, no surprise costs, and no one-size-fits-all treatment model.

Whether we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic tracking, pain education, or mindfulness-based techniques, it's all included as part of your care.

Fees for Services

Therapy is an investment, and I’m honored you’re considering it with me.

As a reminder, therapy at Alcove Mental Health is structured in phases, because different stages of change require different levels of support. Read more about our approach to chronic pain care here.

All clients begin with a focused orientation phase. After the orientation, I’ll offer recommendations for different levels of support based on what your system actually needs. Fees typically range from $275–$380 per 60-minute session, depending on the level of care, intensity, and proximity involved.

Most services are offered as structured packages to support consistency and momentum in the work, with payment typically collected upfront. Payment plans may also be available.

Orientation

We begin with a focused onboarding process and a short series of sessions to understand (1) how your pain patterns have been learned and (2) what level of support will actually help.

This phase is designed to create clarity and direction and does not commit either of us to ongoing care.

Most clients invest around $2,000 for this phase.

Intensive Work

For some people, the next step is a more focused and high-touch phase of work.

This can include meeting more frequently and working more closely over a shorter period of time so we can interrupt patterns in real time, reinforce new responses, and build meaningful momentum while your system is open to change.

Because this phase is tailored to each person, investment varies depending on the structure and level of support.

Most clients invest around $6,500 for this phase.

Learn more about the Pain Repatterning Therapy Intensive.

Consolidation

As patterns begin to shift, the work focuses on stabilizing change and building consistency.

Sessions are typically weekly, with less between-session support, allowing you to take on more ownership while still being guided.

Investment ranges between $1,500 and $4,000 for this phase.

Expansion

In this phase, the work becomes more integrated into your day-to-day life.

Sessions are more spaced out (often monthly), with a focus on maintaining change, navigating new layers as they arise, and continuing to build independence.

Investment ranges between $2,000 and $6,000 for this phase.

A note on how this works

You don’t need to decide which level of support is right for you before starting. We begin with orientation and determine the most appropriate next step based on how your system responds.

Some people move into deeper, more intensive work. Others benefit from a slower and more gradual pace.

The goal isn’t to fit you into a predefined package; it’s to place you in the level of work that will actually help.

Insurance-Based Therapy
(Nevada Residents Only)

I also offer a limited number of insurance-based therapy spots for Nevada residents for plans I am currently in-network with.

Insurance-based services are coordinated through Headway, a third-party platform I use for billing support. Through Headway, you can confirm whether I am in-network with your insurance plan, view estimated costs, and see current availability.

A note on insurance-based services:

When using insurance, certain elements of care are guided by payer requirements related to documentation and medical necessity.

While the heart of the work remains thoughtful, integrative, and individualized, insurance-based services may involve additional structure compared to self-pay care.
