Finding the right therapist often comes down to whether you feel comfortable, respected, and understood. A consultation call can help you get a sense of how a therapist works and whether the relationship feels like a good match.

Most people come to therapy once every or every other week. Ultimately, therapy is a collaborative process, and the pacing can be adjusted as we move forward.

Here are some starting questions to ask your insurance company about your out-of-network benefits:

-Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health?
-Can I use my benefits to see Karyn Cave?
-How much does my plan reimburse for out-of-network benefits?
-Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have?
-How do I submit claims for reimbursement?

It's important to me that therapy is what you need, not what insurance companies require. Insurance companies have rules around how I do therapy that might not be best for you. Things like requiring diagnosis (that were made by and for white men), dictating the length and frequency of sessions, and reduced privacy. By not including the insurance company, we can design a therapy experience that is best for you and your healing journey. If you want to use insurance, you may be able to if you have out-of-network coverage.

No. I work with clients of all backgrounds. Many people seek me out because they want a therapist who understands how identity, culture, and social context affect mental health. As a Black queer therapist, I bring that awareness into my work, but my practice is open to anyone who feels my approach might be a good fit.

Many clients come to me when they are dealing with perfectionism, stress, burnout, complicated relationships, or constant overthinking. Others are navigating identity, belonging, or life transitions. I work with adults, teens, and kids who want to better understand themselves and feel more grounded in their lives.

My practice is intended to be as accessible as possible within the constraints of the space. My in person space has:

-Gender neutral bathrooms
-Furniture that is supportive of bodies of all sizes
- There is one flight of stairs and unfortunately there is no elevator

Virtual appointments are available for anyone either consistently or as needed (bad weather, injury, etc.).

My office is located at 2717 East 42nd St. Minneapolis, MN 55406, above A Bakers Wife. There usually is ample street parking. More details to come.

I offer both. I offer virtual therapy for clients anywhere in Minnesota. I also offer in-person therapy in south Minneapolis on Mondays.

The first step is reaching out by submitting the quick “schedule a free consultation” form. We’ll briefly talk about what you’re looking for and see if working together feels like a good fit.
