Frequently Asked Questions

It depends! Research says most people experience most symptom relief after ~6 months of weekly sessions. Others might extend therapy for a couple more months or years for deeper healing and self-exploration.

I believe you have ultimate control over the way you think, behave and feel, and I will collaborate with you on which type of therapy approach meshes best with you. In any case, the types of therapy I use enable you to choose your best life and I draw from the following traditions:

CBT

ACT

IFS

Art and Expressive Therapy

Psychodynamic

Motivational Interviewing

Solutions-Focused

Person-Centered Therapy

Once a week at a regular day and time.

Why this cadence? I want to give you the very best care. You will be learning new ways of thinking. Like any other skill, repetition is key, especially at the start. Studies show that therapy is most effective if you see your therapist weekly. Bi-weekly sessions don’t offer the same benefits and I don’t want to waste your time or money!

You have the option to choose between virtual sessions or in-person visits at my office located at 4250 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22203. I also offer walk and talks in a park nearby the VA square metro.

My 50-minute session fee is $210. My fee is comparable and competitive to those out-of-network rates of other clinicians practicing within the D.C. metro area.

While I don’t take insurance, you might be able to get reimbursed 30-80% for out-of-network therapy. Check here mentaya.co/b/vayacounseling or reach out to your insurance company.
