John shares some tips with Ashley Holt on finding the perfect therapist for you, while acknowledging the importance of having specialized therapists, such as the Equity Therapy team.
Meet The Team
Our Ethos
To interact with both individuals and couples actively and openly to create an atmosphere of safety and self-reflection.
While working to alleviate symptoms, we explore, through a social justice lens, the ways an individual’s narrative influences their identity and perceptions of life’s circumstances.
We have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, BIPOC community, performing artists, as well as with individuals and couples navigating open relationships, polyamory and other non-traditional sexual expressions in a sex-positive atmosphere.
Corporate Training & Development
Equity Therapy provides corporate training, career coaching, 360-degree reviews, and feedback services to advance your business with important information regarding strengths, as well as areas of improvement.
Unlike consulting firms, Equity Therapy’s corporate training services and 360 reviews are conducted by State-licensed psychotherapists, providing strict terms of confidentiality, protecting all involved with the intention of creating a safe, supportive space for people to give honest feedback. Our work as therapists enables us to assist your team in eliciting and processing their feedback, co-creating clear, tangible steps forward to implement their feedback, if appropriate, in constructive, beneficial ways.
Our team assists leaders to better understand how one’s management style, attitudes and behaviors affect those they lead and those who lead them. This is important because the way in which leadership makes decisions, delegates tasks and communicates feedback can motivate and empower, resulting in better engagement, increased productivity, efficiency, and retention.
Further, Equity Therapy’s team is modern, diverse and educated in diversity, equity and inclusion; we are also uniquely qualified to both recognize and understand the multigenerational differences within today’s businesses.

How much does therapy cost without insurance?

As part of our commitment to the community, we offer opportunities for lower fee sessions through our Advanced Psychotherapy Fellowship program. Cost to see an Advanced Psychotherapy Fellow ranges from $100-$150.
Do you take my insurance?
The intention is to make this process as seamless as possible so you can focus on the reason you are here - therapy. Please note Equity Therapy accepts most insurance as an out-of-network provider. If you have out-of-network benefits, we will complete and submit all paperwork for you. If you are not aware of your insurance benefits, we will research that information for you.
What languages do your therapists speak?
Our therapists can offer sessions in English, Spanish, Mandarin & Cantonese.
What is your cancellation policy?
We hold a weekly time for you, therefore we ask for 24 hours notice to cancel your appointment. Whenever possible, we try to offer reschedules based on your clinicians’ availability. Cancelled sessions are charged the full session rate and cannot be billed to insurance.
