FAQ

You can reach out through the contact form on this site. We'll set up a free consultation to make sure we're a good fit, answer any initial questions, and then schedule your intake session. From there, we'll find a regular rhythm that works for your schedule and needs.

Yes! Cat accepts BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS), UnitedHealthcare (UHC), and HealthChoice. If you're using insurance, we recommend confirming your behavioral health benefits before our first session. For those paying out-of-pocket, individual and relationship sessions are $150 for the intake and $120 per 55-minute session. We do have a sliding scale application for private pay clients!

Supervision is $100 per 45-minute session.

The first session is about getting to know you and what brought you here. We'll ask about your story, what you're hoping for from therapy, and any questions you have about the process. It's also a chance for you to get a feel for whether this space feels right. There's no pressure to have everything figured out—just show up as you are.

Sessions are typically 55 minutes and happen weekly, though we can adjust frequency based on what makes sense for you. Consistency helps build momentum, but we'll find a rhythm that fits your life, budget, and goals.

Therapy can feel vulnerable at first, and that's completely normal. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. Our job is to meet you where you are, ask good questions, and create a space where you feel safe to explore. There's no "right" way to do this—just your way.

That's a fair question, and honestly, the best way to find out is to try. Therapy isn't about being "broken" or having all the answers—it's about having a space to think, feel, and grow. If you're curious, that's enough to start.

Our connection matters, and it's something we'll both be paying attention to. After our first session or two, check in with yourself: Do you feel heard? Safe enough? Like you can be honest here? If something feels off, we can talk about it. We want you to find the right support, even if that's not with us.

Yes, with a few important exceptions required by law: if there's risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, or if we receive a court order. Outside of those situations, what you share stays between us. If you're in relationship therapy, we also keep what's shared in individual check-ins confidential unless we agree otherwise.

It depends. Some people come for a few months to work through a specific issue; others stay longer to explore deeper patterns or navigate ongoing life challenges. We'll check in regularly about what's working and what you're noticing, and the timeline will be guided by your goals and needs—not a formula.

Typically, yes—especially early on. The work is about the relationship system, and that requires both people in the room. That said, there may be times when individual sessions are helpful, and we can talk through what makes sense as we go.

A sex therapist is a licensed mental health professional who uses talk therapy and education to help individuals and couples work through sexual concerns — things like sexual function and dysfunction, desire discrepancies, intimacy after trauma, sexual identity, body image, or communication around sex. Sessions happen fully clothed, in a regular therapy office, with zero physical contact, nudity, or sexual activity between the therapist and client. It's talk therapy — not sexual surrogacy, which is a separate practice.
