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.

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?

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.

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 on your path to wellness.

I work with all people, both white people and people of color. I have specialized training and lived experience that is useful for working with people of color.
