What do we mean by investment?
You’re probably wondering, “Why don’t you just say Fees or Cost?”
That’s because when we talk about about making an investment, what we’re referring to is that in order to achieve your goals, we really are asking you to invest some of your most precious resources in the therapy process:
time
energy
effort
money.
And in return? Your therapist will be diligently committing their own resources to guide and support you:
time
energy
effort & enthusiasm
ongoing education, consultation & supervision.
RATES
Each therapist’s rates are set based on their level of experience and training. These rates reflect the investment they’ve made to provide you and your family with the best treatment possible as well as their commitment to consistently building their skills and experience.

Ailis Runnings (Intern); Carly Cannavina (Intern); Kate Meadows (Intern); Daliah Altal (Extern); Jabarey Wells (Extern)
Interns are carefully selected through a rigorous application process to join our team as they work towards earning their Master’s degree. They are directly supervised by Laura Morlok, LCPC, LPC, RPT-S as well as by their internship/field placement supervisor at their college.
Externs go through the same process but are working towards earning their Doctorate degree and are directly supervised by Dr. Jaclyn Halpern.
Our interns are paired with our licensed therapists as they progress from shadowing to collaborating and eventually independently working with clients as their skills grow.
Receiving therapy from a graduate-level clinician is a fantastic opportunity to connect with someone who is actively engaged in the learning process and closely supported by multiple therapists and clinicians.
In cases of financial need, our interns are able to offer significantly reduced rate openings for new clients. Just ask!
