The Weight of the Watch
Hypervigilance is a valid response to a hostile system. There's a way through.
You scan rooms before you walk in. You read tone before content. You read the news in tabs you keep closed. The cost of staying alert this long is a body that doesn't know how to come down — and that's not a flaw, it's an injury.
What therapy here looks like.
- Trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens — your context isn't background, it's the work
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and ACT for the patterns hypervigilance leaves behind

Things people ask before booking.
How long does therapy take to work?
The length of therapy varies for each person. Some see improvements in a few sessions, while others may need longer. It's a personalized process, and progress depends on various factors like the nature of the issues and your commitment.
How do I know if a therapist is right for me?
A good fit is crucial in therapy. Look for a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. It's okay to change therapists if the first one doesn't feel right.
Is everything I say in therapy confidential?
Yes, with few exceptions (such as risk of harm to self or others), what you discuss in therapy stays confidential between you and your therapist.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes — some of our providers do accept insurance, and many clients use out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed for care. Our team verifies your exact benefits and copay for you before your first session, at no cost. See Insurance & Rates for which providers accept which plans.
