Frequently Asked Questions

🧠 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to explain my culture, identity, or queerness to you?
A: Not here. This practice was made for Queer and Trans Asian Americans. You can show up as you are — no translating, code-switching, or over-explaining required.

Q: Do you offer virtual therapy?
A: Yes! We offer online therapy for clients in California, Washington, and Florida. All sessions are held over a secure video platform.

Q: What are your rates? Do you take insurance?
A: Sessions are $250 for individuals (55-min) and $300 for couples (50-min). We’re an out-of-network provider, which means we don’t bill insurance directly — but! We’ve partnered with Thrizer.com, a service that handles your claims and submits them for you, making the reimbursement process smooth and stress-free. We can set you up with this service with no additional charge.

Note: Most clients with PPO plans can get reimbursed between 40% to 80% for out of network mental health services.

Q: Do you offer a sliding scale?
A: We have a limited number of sliding scale spots for QTBIPOC/AAPI individuals based on financial need. Just ask — we’ll let you know what’s available.

Q: What types of therapy do you offer?
A: We specialize in trauma healing, religious and family shame, queer identity exploration, relationship therapy (including poly/CNM), gender-affirming support, and ADHD evaluation & coaching— always through a culturally grounded, intersectional lens.

Q: What’s an IFS intensive? Is it right for me?
A: Our IFS (Internal Family Systems) intensives are deep, extended sessions (4 hours in a single day) designed to help you move through stuck trauma — especially religious trauma, identity shame, and intergenerational wounds. Think of it as a powerfully focused reset when weekly therapy isn’t enough or your busy life does not allow for frequent appointments to move at a pace you want. An IFS intensive appointment is on weekends and by appointment only. The cost is $1350/4-hour appointment.

Q: I’m not “queer enough” or “Asian enough.” Can I still come to therapy here?
A: Yes. Whether you’re still exploring, reconnecting, or unsure where you belong — you are welcome here, fully.

Q: Do you write letters for gender-affirming care?
A: Absolutely. We offer WPATH-aligned letters for surgery and hormone care after a respectful, affirming assessment — often within one session ($200 for evaluation & letter). For existing clients, the fees are waived.

Q: Can my parents/partners join for sessions?
A: Yes. We offer support for you in every context and every relationship so you can thrive.

Q: How do I get started?
A: Fill out our contact form or schedule an intake appointment via Calendly. We’ll guide you through the process.
