You can expect us to listen to you, learn about you, understand you, honor your experiences and values, and take a non-judgemental approach.

You can expect results! Therapy should usher in change that feels aligned with your needs and goals.

At Cultivate Connection MFT, we uphold AAMFT’s Code of Ethics, but beyond that, we believe in a standard of excellent care. We will inform you on your rights to privacy and rights as a client. We protect your privacy to the utmost extent within and above our ethical and legal obligations to you.

It’s important that you and your therapist build trust and understanding in the therapeutic relationship. For this reason, we ask that you commit to meeting on a weekly basis for the first 3–5 sessions. After the initial therapeutic relationship has been built, you and your therapist will collaborate to determine a frequency and pace that meets your therapeutic needs. Clients must meet with us on a quarterly basis at minimum to keep “active” status as a client. If you decide to leave or pause therapy, but want to revisit at a later time, you just need to get in touch with us!

You’ll know that your therapist feels like a good fit when you feel heard and understood, when you feel accepted and encouraged, and when you start seeing results. The therapy process is also multidirectional, so you must also be open to change in the process.

As an MFT, we believe in systemic therapy. We offer both individual and relational therapy and can explore what feels like a good fit for you based on your needs and goals.

Therapy sessions range between 50 – 60 minutes depending on the format of service.

Pricing depends on your insurance coverage and type of service. We are in-network with Aetna and Cigna, and we can help you determine what is covered under your specific plan. For other insurances, we can help determine your out-of-network reimbursement coverage.

If you need to cancel an appointment, please contact your therapist within 24 hours of the appointment to reschedule. Any appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are considered late cancellations and may incur a charge. This practice offers one late cancellation/no show free of charge, after the first late cancellation, a charge equivalent to the cost of the appointment will be incurred for any late cancellation/no show.

It’s Truly Changed My Life

Starting therapy felt intimidating at first, but I immediately felt safe and supported here. I’ve been able to explore patterns I didn’t even realize were holding me back, and slowly, things have started to shift. My relationships feel more honest, and I feel more grounded in myself. I’m so grateful for the care, patience, and insight I’ve experienced in this space—it’s truly changed my life.

Therapy Helped Us Reconnect

Working with Cultivate Connection has been a turning point in our relationship. From the start, we both felt seen and supported— as individuals and as partners. Our therapist created a space where we could communicate honestly, without judgment or blame.

We’ve learned how to really listen to each other, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect in ways that feel lasting. Therapy here didn’t just help us ‘fix problems’—it helped us grow our relationship together.

Guided Toward True Self

Sarah supported me through a pivotal time of exploring my gender identity, healing from a breakup, and reconnecting with my body. She held space with empathy, gently challenged limiting beliefs, and helped me see how cultural norms and systems impacted my sense of self. Her affirming presence and deep understanding of queer and trans experiences made me feel truly seen. With her guidance, I was able to imagine and begin living a life more aligned with my authentic self.
