Yes! I currently have a few openings in my practice for new individual clients or relationship/couples clients. Reach out today to book a free consultation and see if working together is a good fit. ​ I do not accept insurance and these sessions are private pay. I have limited availability for new therapy or coaching clients, and give priority to trans and gender non conforming folks as well as care workers or individuals in the mental health field. ​ You can inquire about availability here. ​To stay up to date on my services, group offerings and newly released resources, please subscribe to my newsletter and follow @intentionstherapy on instagram.

I offer a range of fully virtual services: ​Individual Therapy (for clients in FL & IL) Individual Coaching Relationship Coaching Professional Consultation Neuroqueer Groups You can explore my current service offerings here.

I use an interdisciplinary and client-centered approach. Tailoring treatment plans to the unique needs of my clients, I pull from many modalities, theories, and wellness practices. I believe healing happens in connection, and my approach is identity-informed. All of my services are LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming, trauma informed, and delivered through an ongoing process of informed consent. To read more about my therapeutic approach & training, click here.

I offer virtual therapy services to clients who live in the states of Florida and Illinois as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Therapy services address clinical concerns and are provided by mental health professionals who have completed graduate-level training programs in social work, marriage and family counseling or clinical psychology. Therapy is a regulated mental health service that may involve the diagnosis and treatment of a mental health condition. Coaching services can be provided to clients regardless of location. I offer individual coaching, relationship coaching, and professional consultations to folks worldwide. Coaching services do not involve therapeutic treatment, evaluation, and diagnostic assessment. If you are looking for support with treating a mental health concern, seeking diagnostic clarity, or clinical assessment, you are seeking therapeutic services. Individual coaching and relationship coaching may not be a good fit for individuals who need therapy, but could supplement outside therapeutic support. Coaching services accessed through Intentions Therapy are provided by Dani Sullivan, LCSW, a trained therapist and clinical social worker. If I assess that your needs are better suited for therapy, I will support you in finding local resources and getting connected with a therapist in your state. Reach out for services.

Intentions Therapy does not accept insurance at this time. All services provided by Intentions Therapy are private-pay. We accept all major credit cards as well as payment in the form of HSA/FSA cards. If you are covered by an insurance plan, it's likely your Out-of-Network benefits will cover part or all of the cost. To use your OON insurance benefits, we have a self-serve (DIY) option and a support service option: Do It Yourself: Reach out to your insurance company and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits. Inquire with your insurance about the process to get reimbursed. Ask about the percentage of reimbursement you can expect for therapy sessions. If you do have out-of-network benefits, I can supply you (monthly or as needed) with completed forms called "superbills" that have all the information necessary to file a claim for out-of-network reimbursement yourself. Get Support: To make OON reimbursement as easy as possible for my clients, I have partnered with Mentaya. This is an online service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits. Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling your insurance company. Clients who work with Mentaya get reimbursed 62% on average per session. Sign up for Mentaya here. Once you register, they will check your benefits and let you know your reimbursement percentage. I enter our sessions on their portal, Mentaya submits your claims and handles all insurance follow up, and you get reimbursed! ​ Please note: Superbills can not be provided for coaching or group services. Out-of-network reimbursement is for therapy services only and requires your therapist to share a DSM diagnosis with your insurance provider.

Intentions Therapy utilizes a managed sliding scale for therapy and coaching services that has 5 distinct tiers. Each tier has a range of prices for hourly services as well as a set number of available spots. I ask my clients to commit to paying the highest affordable rate at this time, and we reassess financial sustainability at 3 month intervals. I offer a wide sliding scale as an effort to distribute services and resources equitably among the population that I serve. I have limited sliding scale availability in my practice, and I prioritize trans and gender non-conforming BIPOC individuals as well as QTBIPOC therapists and care workers. Sliding scale spots are for clients who would not be able to afford my full price rates. Sliding Scale Rates for Therapy and Coaching Services: Redistribution - $225/hour Full Cost - $200/hour (8 spots available) Sustain - $175/hour (6 spots available) Solidarity - $150/hour (4 spots available) Reparations - $100-125/hour (4 spots available) Self Assessment & Determining Your Rate Respond to the following prompts with 'Yes' or 'No' Are you and/or your family homeowners or landowners? Have you (or could you have) attended college and/or graduate school? Are your bills or credit cards on autopay? Or are you able to make minimum payments on bills and credit cards? Do you have access to family money and resources in times of need? Do you have a safety net composed of “financially stable” or wealthy family and friends? Have you been able to easily access and afford healthcare or health insurance for you or your family members? Do you have zero to no debt and/or do you have disposable income? Do you pay other practitioners full price? Do you have U.S. Citizenship? Does your income only support you, and not other loved ones? Have you or do you expect to inherit money or property? Do you travel recreationally? Or regularly treat yourself to meals out, new clothes, and outings? Do you have high earning power (even if you aren't using it right now) from college degree(s), being able-bodied, or due to race, gender, social networks, and family connections. If you answered all yes - Redistribution If you answered almost all yes - Full Cost If you answered more yes than no - Sustain If you answered more no than yes - Solidarity If you answered almost all no - Reparations These reflection prompts are adapted and expanded from AORTA (Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Center). This self assessment is meant to be a guide, not a rule. This sliding scale relies on honesty, accountability, and respect for the multiple realities of economic access and privilege that exist in our communities. Please let me know if you have any questions when you reach out!

I require 24 hour notice for cancellations or rescheduled appointments. This policy applies to all services, including group therapy. Without 24 hour notice before a cancellation or rescheduled appointment, the session you booked will be billed in full. ​ If an individual therapy or relationship coaching client is over 15 mins late for a session without notice, it is marked as a 'no show' and billed in full.

In Session Hours occur between 9am-5pm EST on weekdays (Monday-Thursday).​ Please note, I do not provide 24-hour crisis services. If a life-threatening crisis should occur, contact a crisis hotline, call 911, or go to a hospital emergency room. As an individual provider who is not in a group practice, I am generally in a session during working hours and am unavailable outside of working hours.

If you would like to explore the possibility of working together, please reach out directly using this contact form to discuss eligibility and next steps.

Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hours after treatment and last for up to 2 weeks. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement. Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, via nasal spray and using sublingual lozenges. In my work with Journey Clinical we only use the sublingual lozenge form.

The effects of ketamine, which most patients find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. These effects can make you feel “far from” your body, and facilitate shifts in perception that can often feel expansive in nature. Your motor and verbal abilities will be reduced, so you’ll be lying down in a comfortable position during the experience. Once these acute effects subside, we’ll spend the remainder of our appointment giving you space to process and discuss your experience. While it may feel hard to articulate what happened during the experience, patients feel like the insights gained are none-the-less clear. Studies have shown that the benefits to mood and neurological growth can last up to two weeks after the Ketamine experience.

At Intentions Therapy, we offer both in-person and virtual (Remote KAP) sessions to best suit your needs. In-person KAP sessions are available within the Chicagoland area. I provide services in the comfort of your home, with an additional $50 fee for transportation. Virtual KAP sessions require an in-person chaperone to ensure your safety and provide a supportive environment during the therapy. This flexibility allows me to provide personalized and accessible care to my clients in both Florida and Illinois. I encourage clients to choose the most convenient and comfortable option for your KAP journey.

You can review the chaperone guidelines on Journey Clinical’s website to learn more about the support needed to engage in virtual (or remote) KAP sessions.

Intentions Therapy operates using an anti-oppressive sliding scale fee structure with several different fee tiers for therapy sessions with me. I offer a wide sliding scale as an effort to distribute services and resources equitably among the population that I serve. I have limited sliding scale availability in my practice, and I prioritize trans and gender non-conforming BIPOC individuals as well as QTBIPOC therapists and care workers.
