Welcome! If you’ve been looking for individual, couple’s, or family support from a dedicated holistic professional, you’ve come to the right place. Kala specializes in working with individuals and small groups focused on:

Kala’s approach is rooted in a studied somatic foundation, with a focus on relational and existential factors. Her approach considers the whole person; mind, body, and spirit. Sessions may involve dynamic discussion, somatic skill building, or a combination of both to your preference. All sessions are entirely confidential and adhere to strict ethical and professional guidelines.

Please learn more about Kala’s qualifications here.

Sessions are 50m, entirely confidential, and can be utilized for individual, couples, and/or family sessions. Rates are for you, the client, to set according to your financial capacity utilizing a sliding scale model from $45-$200/session, with the advertised rate being $130/session.

You’re able to book single sessions, multiple sessions, or recurring sessions below using the below scheduler.

Please read more on sliding scale offerings below, and reach out if you have any questions regarding payment. Also, please note if you are a new client, the initial appointment will be formatted as a formal intake session.

 

Payment, Rates, and Sliding Scale Info —

Part of the reason why I am operating as a “somatic therapeutic coach” outside of NY state, and considering not pursuing licensure toward a licensed professional counseling designation, is because the systems in place, including insurance companies, don’t operate to benefit the client. They also don’t operate to benefit the hard working counselors and social workers who do utilize insurance billing to provide accessible care for their clients. Toward the end of my MA in Mental Health Counseling with NYU I had the thought: if I set my ego aside and forego the “LPC” title next to my name, I could skip the capitalist middle man and just make my services accessible to my clients from the get go.

Toward this goal, thought my advertised rate is $130/session, I do offer sessions based on a sliding scale, and provide the below reference to asses your placement and financial potential. The sliding scale starts at $45 and is capped at $200/session, please.

If you are in need of professional therapeutic services and support, and $45/session is in best line with your budget, I’m happy to provide services. If you are financially able to pay more per session, up to or beyond the advertised rate, that’s great! Please, do not pay over the max $200/session.

Recognizing our individual thresholds and abundances allows me to offer services to a wide range of clientele, regardless of financial ability. No financial screening or “proof” of financial capacity will be required, ever.

Please utilize the graphic below and choose your preferred service fee from $45-200/session at your discretion when booking. Note when you checkout, there will be an option to add “ADDITIONAL PAYMENT” ontop of the base rate.

If it is not possible for you to pay any fee at all at this time, but services are needed, please note there are limited pro bono — aka free — sessions available through nonprofit org Yoga to Cope (YTC), as well as a number of free/donation-based live weekly groups and clubs available to support you.

Note: YTC pro bono sessions are fulfilled by MA candidate, professional, and/or licensed mental health care professionals affiliated with the organization. Subject to availability. Please email hello@yogatocope.org to inquire about pro bono/donation-based services.
