Do you offer other holistic healing services?
Yes. To find out about services unrelated to psychotherapy, you'd need to visit:   

What are your fees for psychotherapy?
50-minute sessions: $165
80-minute sessions: $245
110- minute sessions: $330

What goes into your fees?
As a client you are not only paying for the time we meet, but everything that goes in behind the scenes as well. This includes additional trainings, treatment planning, reading, gathering resources, research, and ongoing clinical consultation and supervision to better serve you and your specific needs, as well as the overhead costs of running a small business.

Do you accept insurance?
No. I do not accept insurance at this time. If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits I can provide you with what's called a 'superbill' which you can submit to your insurance company.

Why don't you accept insurance?
There are many reasons I've opted not to accept insurance:

1) More privacy: Insurance companies require detailed paperwork as a condition of payment. This can compromise your confidentiality as paperwork containing your private information can be passed through various representatives before reaching its final destination.

2) More flexibility: Insurance companies can influence treatment decisions such as the duration, the frequency of your treatment, or even the type of therapy provided (which generally doesn't include somatic touch). They also limit the types of therapists you can work with to those who are paneled with their plans (AKA "in-network"). I deeply value your autonomy and consent so we can collaboratively have complete freedom over your care.

3) No diagnosis needed: Insurance companies require "medical necessity" as a condition of payment. This means you must receive a diagnosis from the DSM V in order to qualify for covered care. In my experience, most clients cannot be simply categorized into a predetermined set of criteria, especially if there is early or developmental trauma. Furthermore, diagnoses become part of your medical record and follow you for your life; they can affect you if you are applying for certain kinds of employment, insurance, or are going through certain kinds of background screening. We can talk about diagnoses if that's helpful for you (if you are seeking out-of-network benefits I will need to assign you a diagnosis) but otherwise we don't need to pathologize you to help you.  I want to support you to finding and loving the fullest, most human version of you.

4) Overhead costs: Unlike settings where therapists work as employees, private practice therapists are self-employed. This means there are a variety of considerations for us involving the "business side" (including money flow) of our practice.​ As a therapist in private practice, my fee includes:
Overhead costs
Cost of medical insurance and lack of other benefits such as paid time off, medical leave, etc.
Ongoing training, licensure, consultations & liability insurance

5) A more present therapist: My rate allows me to keep my caseload smaller. Most therapists who accept insurance have to see too many clients a week due to the low rates insurance companies pay psychotherapists. This means you are always getting me at my very best.

Do you have any sliding scale available?
Unfortunately there are not currently sliding scale spots available.  Rachel's waitlist and sliding scale caseload is completely full and she is full-fee only at this time. When you schedule a consultation you can indicate if you need a sliding scale spot. 

I need help now. What is your availability?
Sessions are made by appointment, Tuesday through Friday (10am - 6pm), after we have an initial consultation.  I am not able to support crisis or emergency situations on an ongoing basis.  I don't provide ongoing crisis counseling.

If you have a counseling emergency, please call 911 or Pima County – Crisis Response Network (520) 622-6000.

Will it get better? 
Of course healing is possible - We wouldn't be here if we didn't fully believe in each person's ability to get better.

How long will it take?
The short answer is...it depends. It depends largely on you, your goals, and how long you desire to spend in therapy. Some humans we've worked with work with us for only a few months, others for years, and others off and on. This decision is one we can discuss when we meet and one we'll review on an ongoing basis. 

Do you work with interns or other clinicians?
Of course! We are honored you are here, and recognize the importance of having community, and an embodied somatic practice and culture: which means we are intentional about building one where we collaborate and communicate around our needs, hopes, and learning edges together. We are excited to connect with humans who are (or are becoming) therapists and hope to engage with themselves and their colleagues in this way as a means to become better versions of ourselves, both as therapists and as human beings.  If you're interested in working in an environment that encourages integration, rest, and collaboration this is for you! Students that choose to do their internship with us can expect a caring, reflective, supportive, and somatically informed environment, one that will help them identify and develop their own unique style as a therapist. You will also have supervision and support as you gain your confidence as a therapist. 

How do I get started?
Please completely fill out the form below and we'll be in touch with you within 3 working days.  We'll talk through any details during our 15 minute consultation.

What do I do if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
I require at least 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Failure to cancel within this time frame means you will be responsible for paying the full fee for that time. 

I still have a question...
Please feel free to be in touch via the form at the bottom of this page. I'd love to connect with you and answer any and all questions you have related to working together.
