The practical details
- Fees

If you think you may qualify for reduced therapy rates, please visit openpathcollective.org for information and eligibility.
An Immigration Mental Health Evaluation and Report costs $900, with an additional $200 rush fee for reports needed within 2 weeks of the last evaluation session.
- Insurance
We are out-of-network but provide superbills for possible reimbursement. Please check your out-of-network benefits. We have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you: Thrizer automates out-of-network claims so you pay only your copay after deductible, saving about 70% upfront.

What people bring us
People often come in feeling like they are functioning on the outside while running on fumes inside. They may be stuck in constant overthinking, hard to settle, or always bracing for the next thing. Work, family, and expectations can start taking up all the room. Some people also notice their body stays tense long after the day is over. Others feel flat, overwhelmed, or close to shutting down.
- I keep pushing, but I feel worn out all the time.
- My mind will not stop running through everything.
- I stay tense even when nothing is happening.
- I look fine, but I do not feel fine.
Getting started from there
In the first sessions, we listen for what pressure looks like in your day and where it shows up in your body and thoughts. We talk about what you want help with right now and what feels most urgent, and you do not need to have it neatly sorted out before you come in.
We offer a free 15-minute consultation. We respond to inquiries as soon as we can, usually within 1-2 business days.
Questions people ask
Can online therapy help if I am always too busy to slow down?
It can still be a place to look at what keeps you in overdrive. We would talk about how pressure is showing up and what makes it hard to step out of it.
Do you work with therapy for driven adults?
Yes, we work with adults who are used to carrying a lot and keeping it together. We can focus on the strain underneath the drive, not just the drive itself.
What if I do not know whether this is anxiety or stress?
You do not need to sort that out before starting. We can listen for the patterns that fit your experience and what feels most disruptive right now.
How do you handle mental health support when I do not have the words for it?
That is common, and we can start with what you notice day to day. We will help you name the pattern without making you do all the work alone.
