The truth is that almost everyone can benefit from therapy, although of course some may need it more than others. Here at Bloom, we believe therapy is wonderful when used as a preventative tool, so it’s never too early. It’s also never too late. Therapy is a practical tool for navigating life more effectively, and reaching your goals more efficiently. We firmly believe the world would be a better place if every single person had a good therapist and the engagement in therapy became mainstream, just like regular physical checkups with your doctor. Therapy can be used both to prevent problems, and to recover from them. Licensed Professional Counselors have various skillsets. At Bloom Therapy, we can help you navigate out of a very intense crisis, heal from a chronic behavior or mood pattern, and/or just offer a safe space to self-reflect and receive outside perspective from a neutral, unbiased professional when making important life decisions.

One of Bloom’s missions is to make therapy affordable and accessible to as many people as possible, while still practicing good self-care. We do this by recruiting talented new therapists whom are recently licensed, and providing them with extremely high quality supervision that allows them to quickly and efficiently grow their skillset. One of the best ways to find lower priced but high quality sessions is to get in with a therapist when they are just beginning to build their caseload. You will be matched with a passionate new therapist who is learning quickly, and both of you will benefit from the accelerated growth pace.  By providing jobs to passionate new therapists who are starting off with a great foundation, but still need to build their caseload and gain supervised hours that are required for them to practice independently, we create a win-win for our valuable therapists and our community.

This will depend on your individual situation, needs, and goals, but most people are in therapy from anywhere between six months to a year. Sometimes people with complex trauma histories may need up to 2 years to heal completely. We aim to help you reach your goals as efficiently as possible, and work ourselves out of a job, so that you become your own therapist. We know that the more helpful we are to you, the more likely you are to refer your friends and family. While we understand your goals may expand as you make progress, and we will always be available to you as long as we are helpful in your expansion, we are very opposed to creating client-dependence.

Insurance is complicated business. Please review our Rates & Insurance page to find your individual answer.

Licensed Professional Counselor Associates have obtained a Masters degree in a Counseling/Psychology-related field, passed the National Counselors Examination, and have gained at least 2 semesters/300 hours of clinical experience in graduate school practicums before beginning their 3000 hour associateship. Each associate will be at a different stage of earning these 3000 hours. Just ask in your free initial consultation! It is difficult to keep this site updated as they are accruing hours each week. Therapists at Bloom are on track to complete their supervised hours within 2 years. They are under supervision for these first 3000 hours as provisionally-licensed clinicians, after which point the supervisor may approve them as eligible for independent licensure, which means practicing without required, direct, and weekly supervision. All licensed therapists are required to attend regular CEUs and trainings to maintain licensure, throughout their careers.

Each clinician at Bloom Therapy sets their own rates, in consultation with our Clinical Director. Therapist rates will increase with their experience level as well as external factors such as inflation. Associate clinicians will generally start around $90/hour and increase up to $165 as they increase their skillset breadth and clinical mastery. Clinicians who have been in the field for years and are able to deliver extremely efficient results in fewer sessions may charge more than that, in alignment with a fair energy exchange and their clinical expertise. Once you begin with a clinician, your rate is guaranteed to not increase for a minimum of 4 months. After 4 months of care, it is possible your therapist may require an increase in your agreed rate in order to continue working together.

We aim to combine a variety of clinicians who can serve a diverse population, our rates reflecting a balance of personal and community care. If you are uninsured and cannot afford our regular rates, contact your desired therapist and let them know what rate you can afford; they may have a sliding scale slot available to accommodate your needs. Please only request this option if you can truly not afford our professional rates, so that we can continue to serve a broad community while earning a fair income for our services. An immense amount of education, time, energy, money, and heart goes into our clinical development and business operations. We appreciate your honesty and may request a signed personal statement of monthly income and expenses to be considered for a sliding scale opening. You also must be underinsured to be considered. If our therapists aren’t able to meet your budget needs, we may be able to offer alternative referrals.

You should choose whatever therapist is the best fit for your needs, goals, personality, schedule, and finances. Our therapists are passionate, highly committed to clinical excellence, and have varying specialties and skills. We are honored to be a part of your healing journey if we are the right fit for you. No therapist or group practice will be the right fit for everyone.

All Bloom Therapists are committed to mastering somatic, experiential healing methods that go beyond what classic CBT, or “talk therapy”, can do. They are being trained in cutting edge understanding of the mind/body/spirit system, and how to unblock the natural healing capacity of humans from a holistic perspective.

All of our therapists are spiritually curious and nondogmatic in their approach.

Another factor that makes our practice unique, that many of our clients love, is that we file out-of-network insurance claims for nearly all insurance providers, rather than handing you a SuperBill and asking you to do it yourself. This is very unique for an out-of-network therapy provider.
