You are the one everyone leans on. This is where you get to set that down.

Black women are handed a particular kind of weight. Be strong. Hold the family, the job, the people who count on you. Keep it together when nobody thinks to ask how you are doing. Carrying all of that with nowhere to put it down is not strength, it is exhaustion. Therapy here is a place that is yours, where being okay is not something you have to perform.

You have held everyone else together. Now you get somewhere to put it down.

What We Help With

What you have been holding.

  • Grief and loss, including the losses you were expected to push through
  • The weight of always being the strong one
  • Identity and self-worth, and who you are when you are not performing for anyone
  • Relationships, boundaries, and being everyone's safe place but your own
  • Motherhood, family, and the labor nobody names
  • Anxiety, burnout, and the kind of tired that sleep does not fix
  • The toll of racism and being the only one in the room
What Affirming Care Means Here

Care that already gets the context.

Affirming care means your therapist understands the context you live in, takes you seriously the first time, and treats your whole self as the point, not a complication. You get to spend your time on your life, not on catching someone up to it.

Cost

Money should not decide whether you get care.

Demetria is in network with several major plans, so for a lot of women, sessions are covered. If you are paying out of pocket, rates are shared up front before you book. Either way, we sort the cost out plainly so it is not the thing standing between you and starting.

Insurance and Fees

Care you can actually get to.

Using your insurance

Demetria is in network with several major plans. Tell us your plan when you reach out and we will check your benefits before your first session, so you know what is covered up front.

Paying out of pocket

If you would rather not use insurance, private pay rates are shared before you book, so you know the cost going in.

Ready to confirm coverage? Start on our contact form and we will take it from there. You can also read more on our insurance page.

Please note: insurance benefit quotes are estimates from your insurance provider and are not a guarantee of coverage. Final responsibility for payment depends on how your insurance processes the actual claim for each date of service.
