Therapy with us won't fix your illness. But it can change how you live inside it.
Explore your goals, ask questions, and see if we’re the right fit. Discovery Calls are only for potential clients. You must reside in Georgia, Florida, or Colorado. Please do not book a call for podcasts, marketing, or any other purposes. We are transparent about our rates and fees here.

Insurance & Medicare
We do not accept insurance. However, we will provide you with a medical receipt (aka: a superbill) that you can use to submit your claims to your insurance. You can also use your FSA/HSA for our appointments. We are currently unable to see clients who are on Medicare, regardless of payment type. Meaning, even if you decide to self-pay, we are legally unable to accept payment from you if you’re on Medicare.
As an out-of-network provider, I do not accept insurance directly. However, many PPO, POS, and HDHP insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits that help clients get reimbursed for therapy. To use these benefits, you can first call your insurance to check your deductible, which is the amount you need to pay out of pocket for health services before your insurance benefits kick in. Once the deductible is met, you can start getting reimbursed for a portion of your sessions, depending on your plan’s benefits.
Insurance requires that you have a diagnosable mental health condition AND that your sessions are deemed “medically necessary” before they will agree to pay for sessions. Sometimes, an insurance will reimburse for sessions, but then later on change their mind and require sessions to be paid back (by you to them). This is, in part, why we do not participate in insurance plans.
We encourage everyone to consider these sessions to be out-of-pocket.
Payment is due to Destiny and/or Rachel 48 hours before an appointment occurs, and insurance reimbursement timelines depend on your specific insurer.
We do not interact with your insurance in any way.
Our Process
You shouldn't have to spend half your session educating your therapist. Here, you don't. And getting started shouldn't take everything you've got.
