Your Questions, Answered

You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or caught in patterns that no longer feel helpful. You may be walking through a stressful transition, struggling in your relationships, or finding it easier to care for everyone else than to ask for support yourself. If you find that intrusive thoughts, patterns of fear and avoidance, and constant “what if’s” are controlling your life, supportive therapy or ERP can greatly increase your sense of freedom and ability to live a life that reflects your values.
If you feel depleted by what life is currently demanding from you or have been feeling like you are trying to do many things and aren't able to do any of them well, therapy can be a great place to find judgement- free respite from all the demands, reflect, and find strategies that will help you find joy amidst the stress you are managing.

My therapeutic style is warm, approachable, direct, and grounded in calm and warmth. I take an active, collaborative, and non-judgemental approach to therapy.
Humor is important to me and can be a helpful tool for healing, understanding the world, and recognizing the expectations we place on ourselves. It can also create space to look at things in new ways, and give us something to hold on to when we need to push past avoidance. I don’t typically share much about myself in session (unless you really want to ask, and feel it would be helpful for you!) because therapy is your time and your needs are my focus.

Please reach out through the contact form below, or by emailing [email protected].
We will have a brief consult call so that we can learn a bit more about each other, discuss your goals, my therapy style and talk about whether therapy with me would be a good fit for you.
Prior to session, you will be able to review my practice policies, and complete a brief intake form. The first session is an intake where I will gather relevant history, address immediate stressors, and talk about how we can reach your long term goals.
If you are planning to use insurance, I encourage you to independently verify your benefits using the number found on the back of your card. Benefits will be initially verified electronically before as session, but self- verification is recommended.

I am in-network with Aetna, and an Out-of-Network provider with all other insurance plans. My fee for a 50 minute session of individual therapy is $140 dollars, and is $175 dollars for a 75 minute session of couples therapy. Payment is due at time of service. I offer Superbills to assist with Out-of Network reimbursements.
I believe therapy should be accessible for all, and I do have income sliding scale slots available to those who qualify, and the application can be found at https://openpathcollective.org/therapist/elizabeth-redwine/.

I am currently in-network with Aetna & Blue Cross Blue Shield for eligible individual therapy services. Please be aware that I will be an Out-of-Network Provider beginning in January 2027. Using insurance means that your insurance company requires a mental health diagnosis and that treatment continues to meet their criteria for medical necessity, meaning you must meet criteria for and be given a qualified mental health diagnosis. Once this diagnosis is provided, insurance may place limits on the type and number of therapy services you receive in a given timespan.
When you use insurance, your insurance company may also request access to clinical records if your care is selected for an audit or review. If you prefer greater privacy and control over your records, self-pay may be an option.
Couples therapy is not covered by insurance through my practice. Insurance typically requires that treatment be provided for an identified individual with a diagnosed mental health condition, which does not align with the goals and structure of couples therapy. Couples sessions are therefore self-pay.

Appointments can always be cancelled or rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance.
Appointments cancelled or rescheduled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged a $100 cancellation fee and missed appointments will incur the full session fee. Please be aware that insurance does not cover the cost of missed appointments or late fees.

Under the federal No Surprises Act, clients who are uninsured or who choose not to use their health insurance (self-pay) have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of scheduled services.
A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of the charges that are reasonably expected for your care based on the information available at the time the estimate is prepared. It is not a guarantee of the final cost of treatment. Your actual costs may vary if the frequency, duration, or type of services changes, or if services or circumstances arise that could not reasonably have been anticipated when the estimate was prepared.
For ongoing therapy, estimates are based on the anticipated frequency and duration of services and may be updated when your treatment plan or expected frequency of appointments changes.
If you receive a bill from this provider that is at least $400 more than the amount listed in your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute the bill through the federal Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution process. This process generally must be initiated within 120 days of the initial bill and requires a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.
