Frequently Asked Questions

+ How much do you charge?

The therapy rate for an initial 60-minute intake is $200 and $175 for each 50-minute session thereafter. We do offer a limited number of sliding scale slots based on financial need. We are always happy to consult by phone for free to answer questions and see if we'd be a good fit before meeting in person.

Assessment rates vary by package. Please contact us for more information.

+ What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, check, Venmo, credit card, and HSA/FSA cards.

+ Do you take insurance?

We do not bill health insurance directly but are an out-of-network provider on many insurance panels. We are contracted providers with Lyra Healthcare EAP and Modern Health EAP. We can provide the necessary paperwork for you to submit for reimbursement from your insurance company.

+ What are your hours?

Our hours are by appointment. All of our sessions are currently conducted via telehealth. Dr. Ren sees clients Monday through Friday from noon-5.

+ Do you provide psychological assessments?

Due to the nature of assessments and the necessity of in-person contact, all assessments are currently on hold. We plan to resume this service as soon as we are safely able. If you are planning ahead, please click on the Assessments tab above to learn more.

+ What can I expect from my first session?

During your first appointment we will review paperwork and gather background information to find out what your main concerns and goals are for therapy. We will feel each other out to gauge whether your therapist's skills and knowledge are able to meet your goals. At the end of the session we will mutually decide whether to work together. If you and your therapist are not a good fit, we can provide you with referrals for other providers. For teens, the session will be split so your therapist can meet with each of you individually as well as together.

+ How long will it take?

Depending on your individual goals and presenting concerns, therapy can range from a few weeks to a year or more. To get the maximum benefit, it is recommended that we meet on a weekly basis to begin. We may go down to meeting every other week or less as symptoms improve. After our first few sessions, your therapist will develop an individualized treatment plan and will have a better idea of how long treatment may take.

As with most things in life, what you get out of this depends on what you put in. We value efficiency and respect both your time and mine. It won't always be fun or easy, but if you're ready to do the work, we promise we are too.

+ What if I don't like my therapist?

Sometimes that happens. It's important for us to know because this process may have triggered something for you and it may not actually be about your therapist. That is something we can work through together. But we understand that not all personalities work well together and your therapist's style may not work for everyone. We don't take it personally. Our priority is for you to get help from someone you feel comfortable with. We are always happy to offer referrals to other providers.
