(There may be a separate number for "mental health" or “behavioral health.”) When speaking with your insurance company, you will want to ask them the following questions: Do I have “out of network” outpatient mental health benefits? If so, what is the amount of my deductible (the amount of money you have to pay before your insurance company will start to reimburse you) for out of network providers? Have I already paid/met any of my deductible? Are there any limitations to outpatient mental health services (i.e. only a certain amount of money allowed for these reimbursements, a limited number of sessions, reimbursement only for certain types of diagnoses, etc.)? Do I need any special kind of referral (i.e. from a primary care doctor or my university counseling center) before I can be reimbursed? How do I submit my receipt? How long will it take to get reimbursed after I send my receipt? Do my benefits cover online counseling sessions? Some individuals with health insurance choose not to use it to cover mental health services, and instead pay “out of pocket,” for these services. Some individuals use their flexible spending or health savings accounts. Most often, this is due to concern about the privacy of their health information and the potential release of this information to health insurance companies and their affiliated entities. Therapy for QPOC is required to provide insurance companies with a DSM-V diagnosis if you choose to use your insurance benefits to cover therapy. https://therapyforqpoc.com/rates daily 0.75 2025-07-28 https://therapyforqpoc.com/team daily 0.75 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6101f3515b97b87c4a2f122c/3c9d2816-c5cc-4ade-8737-767d87eed65e/IMG_9329.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6101f3515b97b87c4a2f122c/ad5e15c0-71e7-4584-9314-5f391daac5a6/IMG_8212+2.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6101f3515b97b87c4a2f122c/9067f5e6-db34-4a55-a6a8-d7ac525542f6/IMG_3812.png Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6101f3515b97b87c4a2f122c/f2e858f2-5de7-40cc-9392-0f1a0aee1815/Winley+-+Headshot+.webp Team https://therapyforqpoc.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-04-24 https://therapyforqpoc.com/bio-dr-monica daily 0.75 2026-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6101f3515b97b87c4a2f122c/0b24a3c4-3f8b-4fe5-b2f6-c3a334922041/IMG_3812.png Bio | Dr. Monica - Monica Lyn Thompson, PsyD, ABPP, LPC Founder | Clinical & Training Director Monica (she/they) is a spoiled daughter, imperfect sister, loving partner, fearless friend, restless adventurer, and space holder for queer and trans people of color.

This caused her to shrink, hide, and wear masks that hindered her from reaching her potential. As a result, Jaslyn created Journeying Beyond Measure, an intentional space for beings to heal from damaging life experiences and mindfully move forward with purpose. Academically, Jaslyn has obtained and maintains higher educational degrees, professional certifications, and considers herself to be a lifelong learner. Along this journey, she learned, both formally and informally, ways to confront and move forward from traumatic events we experience in life. In practice, she enjoys being a facilitator, accountability partner, cheerleader, lighthouse, and sometimes challenger (when needed) for those who desire to do healing work in a safe space. She provides a positive therapeutic/coaching approach to assist those dealing with anxiety, life challenges, and self-alignment. She truly enjoys helping people, WIN! "With transparency I share, I am perfectly imperfect. I am human. I challenge societal norms, I dance to the beat of my own drum, and enjoy the adventure of living life with intention. As a mental health professional and world traveler, I have come to realize mental well being has more than one meaning therefore, we need more than one way to move towards the healthy version of ourselves. As I continue to engage in new forms of healing, I look forward to assisting and sharing in yours!" ~Jaslyn Clinical Specialties: Coaching with a therapeutic touch. Social Therapy: coping with relationships, life stressors, grief, and identity.

Caris approaches her practice as an intentional community member to clients, offering client-led and personalized support and safe space to each individual. Caris’ practice is heavily informed by decolonization, anti-capitalism, ancestral community care and the divestment from white supremacist systems that do not serve us as the gloriously expansive human beings that we are. Caris’ approach embodies rest, ease and slow living, engaging with opportunities to incorporate stillness and intention into client’s daily lives, as well as integrating the knowledge and traditions of our black and brown ancestors while embracing newness and change. Caris enjoys supporting clients through cognitive reframing and creating new belief systems and paradigms where joy, authentic connection and self actualization are prioritized. Caris often uses lessons from nature and somatic awareness to guide new thinking and offer groundedness. Caris actively challenges ableism and "grind culture" with clients, advocating for accommodations and assisting clients with guided exploration of creative and authentic ways to get their needs met. Through balancing self and communal care, trusting self over systems, and centering authenticity rather than “good vs. bad, right vs. wrong'' rhetoric, clients can expect a shame-free environment where they are held in community, seen, nourished and fully supported, with the goal of ever-growing confidence in their truth and consistent commitment to their well being. Caris offers individual and group peer support/coaching, as well as relationship/communal mediation. Caris is also incredibly passionate about travel.

For too long, she felt the pressure to push through, stay small, or mask parts of herself just to survive. That lived experience now fuels her passion for creating radically affirming and liberatory spaces where clients can show up fully as they are, without apology. Trina is a Licensed Master Social Worker who supports BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized individuals navigating anxiety, identity exploration, self-worth, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the deep impacts of racial and intergenerational trauma. Trina understands that therapy is more than just talking, it's about unlearning, remembering, and being. She believes in therapy that moves at your pace, challenges oppressive narratives, and centers rest, spaciousness, and possibility. In the room, she shows up as a collaborator, guide, and witness, walking alongside clients as they explore what healing looks and feels like for them. Outside of therapy, Trina is on her own journey of soft living, self-discovery, and intentional movement. She’s embracing a nomadic lifestyle and expanding access to care beyond borders, supporting clients in crafting lives rooted in freedom, community, and self-trust.
