Choose the right doorway before you schedule.
Compare telehealth psychotherapy, private-pay EMDR intensives, couples and relationship therapy, executive coaching, fees, insurance, payment options, and the correct Contact-page pathway.
A simple way through the website
Begin in four steps.
You do not need to read every page before reaching out. Use this page to identify the service, understand the financial structure, and then continue to the Contact page through the appropriate route.
- Decide whether you are seeking weekly individual psychotherapy, an EMDR intensive, couples or relationship therapy, executive coaching, the More Than a Safeword workshop list, or clinician consultation.
- Check the insurance section. Only eligible individual psychotherapy may be billed to an accepted insurance plan.
- Review the fee, payment methods, and cancellation policy connected to the service you are considering.
- Continue to the Contact page. Use the secure psychotherapy pathway for individual therapy, or the dropdown inquiry form for private-pay and professional services.
Current format: Services are offered by telehealth for now. Psychotherapy clients must be physically located in California at the time of the session.

$200 • 60 minutes
Request consultation →More Than a Safeword
A kink-affirming educational workshop addressing consent, communication, capacity under stress, stopping practices, aftercare, trauma-response awareness, and repair without pathologizing consensual kink.
Kink-Affirming Care
Kink is not approached as evidence of trauma.
Consensual kink, BDSM, and power exchange are not presumed to arise from trauma or pathology. Trauma becomes clinically relevant only when the client’s own history, experience, or present response suggests that it may be affecting awareness, communication, safety, capacity, consent, or choice.
Even then, the goal is not to pathologize desire, identity, role, or a consensual practice. The goal is to understand what the response may be communicating and to strengthen awareness, safety, consent, and agency.

Payment methods
Accepted payment for psychotherapy services.
Individual psychotherapy, couples and relationship therapy, and EMDR intensives are scheduled and clinically managed through SimplePractice.
Debit cards must be issued through a card network accepted by SimplePractice. HSA and FSA cards may be used only for eligible healthcare services, and clients are responsible for confirming eligibility under their plan. Zelle is available for approved private-pay psychotherapy balances through the Beneath the Surface Therapy Chase business account. Instructions are provided privately after the applicable service and financial agreements have been completed. Do not include clinical information in a payment memo.
Beneath the Surface Coaching payment pathway
Executive coaching is paid through the separate Beneath the Surface Coaching Venmo Business profile or another coaching-specific business method identified in the coaching agreement. Coaching is not eligible for HSA/FSA payment or insurance billing.
Use a neutral invoice reference.
Use a memo such as “Invoice 1048” or “Account payment.” Do not include trauma history, a diagnosis, treatment details, relationship information, or a workplace concern in Zelle or Venmo payment notes.
Cancellation & rescheduling
Reserved time has a clear policy.
The policy differs for standard appointments and extended EMDR intensives because intensive preparation begins in advance and a substantial block of clinical time is reserved.
At least 24 hours’ notice
At least 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule individual psychotherapy, couples or relationship therapy, executive coaching, or professional consultation.
Appointments canceled, rescheduled, or missed with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full scheduled fee.
At least 72 hours’ notice
At least 72 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule an EMDR intensive without a cancellation fee. When less than 72 hours’ notice is provided, 30% of the total reserved intensive fee will be charged.
