FAQs

What is your therapeutic orientation?

We are psychodynamically-oriented therapists which means that we work together to bring what's under the surface (subconscious) into consciousness. We look at how your world has shaped you, the relationships you have, and the decisions you make. Read more about our individual therapist’s specialties here!

Couple’s therapy is becoming more of a “first resort” than a “last resort.” We use EFT  Emotionally Focused Therapy to help identify and articulate the emotions underneath conflicts and learn how to show up better for each other.

How long does therapy last?

Individual therapy happens typically once or twice a week and sessions last 45 minutes. Treatment length can vary, but it's important to note that deep work takes time and commitment from you. 

Couples therapy happens typically once a week and sessions last 50 minutes. Some couples find better communication after 8-20 sessions, and others continue weekly as a part of their ongoing relationship hygiene. 

*West Therapy Group does not currently hold bi-weekly (twice/monthly) sessions.

Do you take insurance?

We are out of network providers, which means that the full cost of the session is due after each session. We then provide documentation (a “Superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance. If your plan has out of network benefits, they may reimburse 60-80% of your fees, and many plans will reimburse at 100% after your out of network deductible is met. 

We recommend checking your benefits against your therapist’s fee with Nirvana’s Out of Network Benefits Calculator here.

What is your rate and cancellation policy?

45-50 minute sessions range from $175-$275/session, depending on availability. There are a limited number of sliding scale spots available. Please inquire about those here. We will discuss rates in our consultation session.

Cancellation must be made at least 48 hours before the session time to avoid being charged the full fee for the missed session. We recommend you don’t plan on missing more than 6 weeks in a calendar year.
