Session Policies & FAQ's
​
Do you accept insurance?​
No, Karina is not a licensed professional counselor or social worker and therefore cannot bill insurance companies. She has a MA in East/West Psychology from Antioch University and has worked as a holistic therapist and IFS inspired coach since 2009. Karina can accept HSA payments, and works on a sliding scale for those in need of financial assistance.
​
How does your sliding-scale work?
​
For Private Sessions:
Most coaches of Karina's education and experience charge thousands of dollars up front. ​This sliding scale aims to create equitable access with the purchase of single sessions at a reduced rate. Please consider the amount that will allow you to value your investment in the work, and that you can commit to paying:
