BEGINNING WITH CARE

A grounded place to begin
Support that starts with clarity, care, and choice.
Your First Appointment
Your initial session is a chance to get to know one another. We’ll talk about what brings you in, what you hope will feel different, any questions you have, and what kind of support would feel most helpful. Together, we begin shaping a collaborative plan.
Finding the Right Fit
We consider your goals, preferences, lived experience, and the kind of therapeutic relationship that may feel safest and most effective. When possible, we match you with a clinician whose approach aligns with your needs.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Care at Breaking Barriers is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. We work alongside you with respect for your story, your strengths, and your pace, while using practical tools that support meaningful change.
Session length
Most appointments are 50 minutes. Your clinician will confirm the best session length for your needs.
Virtual and in-person
We offer secure virtual care, with in-person options available depending on clinician availability.
Fees
Fees are reviewed before you begin so you can make an informed decision about care.
Insurance coverage
Receipts are provided for insurance or benefit plans when applicable.
Cancellation policy
Please provide notice as early as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule.
