Frequently Asked Questions
-
For a one-hour therapy session, my rate is $180. I offer a sliding scale for a limited number of clients. Sliding scale pricing is intended to make therapy more accessible to clients with fewer resources by offering a lower hourly rate. Please indicate your interest in a sliding scale rate when you contact me.

I am in-network with Health First Colorado (Medicaid Region 4 via Colorado Access). If I do not accept your insurance plan, I can also offer a sliding scale for a limited number of clients based on financial need. Please indicate your interest in a sliding scale rate when you contact me.
-
I offer virtual therapy for existing clients who may need to temporarily meet virtually due to illness, travel, or other life circumstances. I believe we benefit most from therapy when we are in space together, and given the modalities I offer, in-person tends to be the best fit.

To get started, please reach out through my contact page or email me directly at mossandclaytherapy@outlook.com. I typically respond within 48 hours via email to schedule a brief introductory call. During the call, I’ll ask what you’re hoping to gain from therapy and share a bit about myself and my therapeutic approach. Together, we’ll determine if we’re a good fit for each other. Following the call, I can schedule you (or your loved one) for weekly or bi-weekly therapy sessions. During the initial session, I will spend time getting to know you, your therapeutic goals, and any information you think is important for me to know as we work together. For children and teens, I typically invite parents/guardians to join the first 15-20 minutes of the initial therapy session to gather any important information.
-
I'm typically available from 12-6 pm MT on Monday through Thursday. Due to my other responsibilities as an adjunct professor and researcher, I tend to maintain a smaller case load of therapy clients, and my availability may shift accordingly. During our initial call, I will share my current availability to schedule your first session. If my caseload is full at the time of our call, I will offer to add you to my waitlist and provide an estimate of when we can start working together.
-
Please note that if your session is not canceled within 24 hours of our scheduled time, you will be charged $100. I know that life gets busy, so I typically allow one late cancellation at no charge, but any subsequent late cancellations will be charged $100. Please reach out to me via text, phone, or email to reschedule or cancel your appointment as soon as possible.
