The first session is a chance for you and your therapist to begin getting to know one another. We will talk about what brings you to therapy, what has been happening in your life, and what you may be hoping for. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. The conversation can begin wherever you are.

Most clients meet with their therapist once a week. In some cases, meeting more or less frequently may make sense depending on your needs, goals, and circumstances. You and your therapist can discuss what feels appropriate.

There is no single timeline for therapy. Some people come for help with a specific concern, while others find value in longer-term work that allows for deeper exploration. We do not assume in advance how long the process should take. You and your therapist can talk together about what feels useful over time.

We offer in-person sessions in San Rafael and telehealth sessions for clients located in California. Availability varies by therapist, so let us know your preference.

Our current fees are $125 and up per session. Fees may vary by therapist and type of service. We are happy to discuss fees and availability with you before scheduling an initial appointment.

Cinssa is in-network with Medi-Cal Partnership and Medi-Cal Kaiser. If you have questions about coverage, eligibility, or whether a particular therapist can see you through your plan, please contact us and we can help clarify next steps.

We ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Appointments canceled with less notice may be charged the full session fee, except in circumstances discussed with your therapist.

The first step is to contact us and tell us a little about what brings you to therapy and what kind of support you are looking for. We will help you think about which Cinssa therapist may be a good fit and answer any questions you have about beginning.
