Ellen Garfield, MFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 
in Aptos, CA MFC #103425  

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to begin the process of therapy, and I’m honored to provide my clients with the support, compassion, and confidentiality to explore themselves and their lives. I believe that when someone is fully heard and understood, it makes it easier for them to gain agency into their own psychological healing.

Investment in therapy

Therapy is an investment in yourself, and the personal growth you make lasts a lifetime

My fee is $235 for a 50 minute session. Occasionally, I have sliding scale openings for those with financial need, specifically prioritizing Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color and/or the LGBTQIA community .

 

Although I am not contracted directly with insurance panels, I am an out-of-network provider and can give you an itemized receipt for reimbursement by your insurance company. Some insurance companies reimburse up to 90% for my services. I'm happy to explain more over the phone or in person. I'm also about to run FSA cards just like a regular credit/debit card.
