What is Embracing Wellness LLC?

Embracing Wellness LLC is a DC based therapy practice dedicated to providing holistic, trauma-informed therapy services. We offer individual therapy, consulting services, and speaking engagements to clients in DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida.

What is trauma-informed care and why is it important?

Trauma-informed care is an approach that recognizes the impact of trauma in providing care. It emphasizes safety, trustworthiness, and empowerment. By using a trauma-informed approach, we ensure that our therapy sessions are sensitive to your needs and experiences, helping to foster a supportive and healing therapeutic alliance.

Where are you located, and do you offer online sessions?

Embracing Wellness is based in Washington, DC. We offer private HIPAA compliant Telehealth sessions through a secure online platform. We offer both remote and in person consulting services and speaking engagements. Please contact us to discuss which option works best for you.

Are you currently accepting new clients?

Yes, we are currently accepting new clients.

What is the process to get started?

We will schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation to discuss your concerns and determine if we’re a good fit to work together.   

After our consultation, if we decide to move forward, I will send you an intake form and a welcome packet with more information about what to expect from our sessions. Please be sure to read, complete and submit the intake packet before your first appointment.

During your first full session, we will explore your goals for therapy and begin to develop a personalized plan to support your healing and growth.

Do you accept insurance?

Embracing Wellness is currently in-network with insurance plans in DC. We accept Aetna, CareFirst BCBS, and United Healthcare. For Maryland, Virginia, and Florida residents who wish to use their health insurance, we can provide you with a superbill (invoice) to present to your insurance company for up to 100% reimbursement.

How much does therapy sessions cost?

Our therapy sessions are $180 for 60 mins, $165 for 45 mins and $150 for 30 mins. We also offer sliding scale options to make our services more accessible to those in need.

What is a sliding scale and how can I apply for it?

A sliding scale is a flexible fee structure based on your ability to pay. We offer a limited amount of sliding scale options to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent access to care. If you are interested in applying, please contact us directly to discuss your situation.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit cards, HSA, and flex accounts. We also accept vouchers. We can provide superbills for those seeking out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance providers.
