Frequently

Asked

Questions

What will the consultation look like?

Consultations take place virtually, are free, and usually last about 20 minutes. They are an opportunity for you to get to know your therapist a little bit better and ask questions. We firmly believe in a client’s choice and voice through picking a therapist and want to empower you to ask questions through this process. For some who’ve never gone through therapy, it may feel overwhelming knowing what to ask or even expect and that’s ok too.

Are you offering in-person or virtual therapy?

Both! Depending on the therapists’ availability, you have a the ability to choose what works best for you. We are located in downtown Austin, not far from UT campus at 825 W 11th St. There is free parking available on site.

There is also the option of taking therapy outside with a walk and talk session or participating in ecotherapy outdoors. The office is located right off Shoal Creek which offers great options for outside sessions.

How much does therapy cost?

I charge $160 for individual sessions. I offer sliding scale fees based on need and availability and am always happy to talk this through with clients. Talking about money and financial issues can bring up a lot for folks. I strive to create a nonjudgmental and welcoming environment around your money story.

Where do the outdoor sessions take place?

Outdoor sessions begin at the office location at 825 W 11th st. From there, we can walk to Pease Park, or head in the opposite direction to have our session in a nearby community garden. If you’re curious about what this type of therapy looks like, I am happy to explore this more with you during a consultation. Outdoor therapy is a beautiful way to provide connection and requires an additional consent form based on the unique circumstances of meeting outside an office. 

Do you take insurance?

As a fully licensed therapist, Meg is able to accept insurance and is paneled with Aetna. She is considered “out of network” by other insurance providers.

Associate therapists can’t directly accept insurance but can provide a superbill. If you are interested in reimbursement, we encourage you to check with your specific insurance company on your policy with superbills. Some insurance companies can offer partial and even full reimbursement. 

How long does therapy last?

There is no straight answer to this (and for some that may be hard to hear!). This is relational work and it takes time to build that. We are not in the business of promising quick results or a timeline of when you will be “fixed” (what does that mean anyway?). What we can offer you is patience, presence, and a collaborative experience. If you’re coming into therapy wanting to be finished in 4-6 sessions, we may not be a fit for you. (And that is totally fine! We’re always happy to recommend other therapists that might align better with you)

We believe in this process of discovery, healing, and growth as well as the wisdom of our clients. Communication of needs and checking in feels essential in this work. 

We have found it is most beneficial for clients to start weekly for the first 3 months and then assess needs from there.
