How do i get started?

To begin your therapy journey, simply schedule a free 15-minute intro call. It’s a space to connect, ask questions, and see if my approach feels like a good fit for you. From there, we’ll schedule your first full session and start creating a path that supports your healing and growth.

What can I expect from an intro call

The intro call is a brief, no-pressure phone conversation. We’ll talk about what’s been coming up for you, what you’re hoping to work on, and how my therapy approach can support that. I’ll also share more about what working together looks like so you can decide if it feels aligned.

How often are sessions?

For psychotherapy (not including ketamine or hypnotherapy intensives), sessions are held on a weekly basis. Weekly therapy supports consistent momentum and helps build the trust and safety needed for deeper work.

We always start with weekly sessions because the relationship itself is part of the healing process—it takes time and consistency to feel safe enough to go deeper. As your goals are met and you feel more grounded, we can gradually shift to biweekly sessions.

While biweekly sessions may work in some cases, they can slow the pace of progress. I don’t offer once-a-month therapy, as the work requires more continuity to be truly effective.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM WEEKLY SESSIONS:

In weekly psychotherapy sessions, we’ll meet for 45–50 minutes to explore the patterns, beliefs, and emotional wounds that keep you stuck. This is a space where high-achieving, hyper-independent women—often perfectionists or people-pleasers—can finally feel safe enough to soften.

Each session is a co-created process. We’ll begin by tracking what’s most alive for you in the moment, whether that’s anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, or relational conflict. From there, we’ll follow the thread together—gently unearthing the roots of these challenges, often tied to childhood trauma, emotionally immature parents, or experiences of emotional neglect.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about reconnecting with the parts of you that had to go silent. You’ll learn to set boundaries, stop abandoning yourself, and begin trusting your own inner wisdom. Over time, many clients report feeling more grounded, more at home in their bodies, and more able to speak their truth without guilt.

Sessions are billed at $225 for 45 minutes and occur weekly. For clients engaging in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy or hypnotherapy intensives, those sessions are billed as double sessions (two psychotherapy sessions) and run for 2 hours.

Do you take insurance?

I am an out-of-network (OON) provider, but that doesn’t necessarily mean therapy has to be unaffordable. In many cases, once your deductible is met, your co-insurance (the percentage you’re responsible for) is comparable to an in-network copay. You may be surprised by how accessible therapy can be!

To make this easier, I’ve partnered with Thrizer, a platform that allows you to pay only your co-insurance upfront (after your deductible is met), rather than waiting weeks for reimbursement.

✨ Here’s how it works:
If you'd like me to run a benefits check for you, just send a photo of the front and back of your insurance card to citlali@innerworldspsychotherapy.com. I’ll get back to you within 48 hours with a personalized estimate of what your out-of-pocket costs may be.

Do you offer sliding scale?

Yes, a limited number of sliding scale spots are available upon request once an assessment is completed. To see if you are eligible for sliding scale, schedule a free intro call HERE.

What is your rate?

• Psychotherapy sessions (45 minutes) are $225.
  If you have out-of-network (OON) benefits, you may be reimbursed for a significant portion (up to 80%)— bringing your cost down close to a typical in-network copay. I’m happy to help you understand and optimize these benefits.

• Hypnotherapy Intensives and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy sessions (90–120 minutes) are $500.
  To make these more accessible, you can choose a 6-month payment plan through CareCredit. [Apply HERE]

A limited number of sliding scale spots are available. While I can't guarantee availability, feel free to ask if one opens up.

Do you offer online therapy or in-person sessions?

Both. I offer online therapy for clients throughout New York and New Jersey, and in-person walk & talk sessions in Westchester, NY.

Walk & talk therapy offers a hybrid flexibility — some clients meet outdoors when the weather allows, and online when they prefer to stay home. Both options are equally deep and effective; it’s about finding the rhythm and setting that help you feel most connected and supported.
