Ever put off therapy because you thought, “I can’t afford that”?
✨ Here’s what most people don’t know: Your insurance might cover some or all of your therapy sessions—even if your therapist isn’t in-network.
Most plans have out-of-network benefits that can help pay for therapy, but no one tells you how to check or ask for coverage.
That’s why I created a FREE Out-of-Network Benefits Guide to help you figure out if your insurance can help cover therapy costs.

💡 You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy.
But let’s be real… how many times have you thought:
❌ “I wouldn’t even know where to start.”
❌ “I need to organize my thoughts first.”
❌ “What if I say the wrong thing?”
✨ Therapy isn’t a test. You don’t need to explain everything perfectly. You don’t even need to know where to begin. The only thing you need? A willingness to start.

🌈 Here’s a reminder you might need today:
"You don’t have to be struggling at your worst to deserve support. Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about figuring out what actually helps YOU."
Too many people feel like they have to "earn" the right to get help. But the truth? You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable. Therapy can help you feel stronger, sooner.

🚨 Therapy isn’t about fixing you. Because you’re not broken. 💛
But how many times have you thought…
❌ “I should be able to handle this on my own.”
❌ “I don’t need therapy unless things get REALLY bad.”
✨ Here’s the truth: You don’t have to be struggling at your worst to deserve support. Therapy helps you figure out what actually works for you—so you can feel more in control, more understood, and less stuck.
