SAMA Psychotherapy does not accept insurance; however, we will provide each client with a super bill that states all diagnoses and diagnostic codes, which the client may then submit to their insurance company as an out-of-network claim.

We've remained a private pay facility in order to maintain a level of excellence and provide care based on clinical recommendations rather than based on the helm of insurance, which often leaves clients receiving inadequate and ineffective care.

Sessions are 1 hour for an initial session, 45 minutes for individual therapy and coaching sessions, and 50 minutes for couples therapy sessions.

We have a 48-hour (2 business days) cancellation policy. This means that weekend days do not count towards the cancellation policy. For example, if your appointment is scheduled for Monday at 10AM, you must cancel the appointment no later than 10AM the Thursday before the appointment.

If you make a late cancellation within the 48-hour window, you will be charged, but you can reschedule once without incurring a fee.

We offer packages for couples therapy and coaching.

For both packages, you can book the intake/initial session separately, and then it will be deducted from the price of the package (i.e. the remaining 4 sessions). For couples, we recommend the package, as 5 sessions is the minimum needed to see results and showcases a commitment of both parties to figure things out.

Couples Therapy Package: Five 50-minute sessions for $1,775.

Coaching Package: Five 45-minute sessions for $1375; this includes daily check-in call or texts for up to 10 minutes.

As trauma-informed therapists, we specialize in modalities that are effective for processing and getting to the root of the problem that brings you to therapy.

This includes Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family System (IFS), Structural Family Therapy, and Inner Child Work.

Expect to be in a supportive, compassionate place, in which the therapist will ask you questions about yourself and what brings you to therapy. You should feel free to answer questions that you are comfortable answering, we will move at your own pace and you as the client can set the agenda.

The therapist will listen to the issues you present, your concerns and how they are impacting your life and will explore with you what the main 1-3 goals are that you’d like to accomplish in therapy.

This varies from client to client, and depends on presenting issues and symptoms. For some clients it may be short term (a few months) and for others it may be longer term (2-3 years).
