Bravewood is a self-pay practice. Individual sessions are $250 per 55 minutes, and extended/intensive sessions are $275 per hour, prorated for 1.5-5 hour sessions. Paying out of pocket keeps your care private (no diagnosis on file with an insurer) and lets us focus on your goals rather than what a plan will authorize. If you have out-of-network benefits, I partner with Thrizer to make reimbursement simple, many clients get a portion back from their insurer. I'm also happy to provide a superbill or a Good Faith Estimate on request.

I'm self-pay only and don't bill insurance directly. Many clients use their out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed, and I use Thrizer to make that process as painless as possible. If cost is a factor, mention it on your intro call and we'll talk it through honestly.

It's a relaxed [intro call length: 20 or 30 minutes] video call, no intake forms, no pressure, no commitment. You tell me a bit about what's bringing you in, I answer your questions, and we both get a feel for whether we're a good fit. If it feels right, we schedule a first session. If not, that's completely fine, and I'm glad to point you toward someone who might be a better match.

I'm licensed in New York and Pennsylvania, and through PSYPACT I can also provide virtual therapy in 43 additional participating states. If you're not sure whether your state is covered, ask on the intro call and I'll confirm right away.

All sessions are virtual. Cozy up at home, or squeeze one in from your (parked) car. Clients tell me they appreciate the consistency and the zero-commute, and yes, two of my three (unhinged) cats occasionally make guest appearances.

Book a free 20 minutes intro call using the button on this page. We'll talk, and if it's a fit, we'll schedule your first session from there. That's it.

Anxious high-achievers, physicians, executives, attorneys, founders, and other high-demand professionals, who look fine on paper but are running on empty. And if you're not sure you count as “high-achieving”: if you work hard, you probably do, and you don't give yourself enough credit. 👍

I'm Dr. Ashley Sutton, a licensed clinical psychologist (Psy.D., Rutgers GSAPP, 2018). I'm licensed in New York and Pennsylvania and PSYPACT-authorized across 42 additional states, with a postdoctoral fellowship in substance use disorders from VA Pittsburgh. I've spent most of my career in demanding hospital settings, so I understand burnout from the inside.

Yes. Research consistently shows telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person care for anxiety, burnout, and related concerns, with the added benefits of no commute, easier scheduling, and sessions that fit a demanding calendar.

I currently offer evening and weekend sessions to fit around demanding schedules. Extended/intensive sessions are available on weekends and require a brief intake assessment first to confirm clinical fit.
