stay awhile therapy
A Deaf-led solo virtual practice offering individual therapy, couples therapy, and consultation all in ASL for the Deaf community. A space built differently, priced accessibly, designed to welcome all parts of you.
therapy built differently
This is therapy, but not the kind that was built for a system. It was built for you. For the Deaf community.As a private solo-practice, there is no chasing quotas, diagnosis codes, or no need to explain your culture to someone who doesn't get it.Stay Awhile Therapy is where you can finally get to slow down with a therapist who already gets it, in your language and culture. And yes, for the parts of you that are a little hard to explain. Even the spiritual, the complicated, the sensitive, and the messy.

Your future self is already thanking you
Investing in your wellness is one of the most meaningful decisions you can make. Here is how it works at Stay Awhile Therapy:Private Pay only. I do not work with insurance because it creates barriers to care, requiring diagnoses that follow you, limiting how long you can be seen, and putting decisions on your healing in the hands of people who have never met you. You deserve more than that. To create more accessibility to healing, I offer several options, more information below.Sliding Scale
You choose from three tiers that fits where you are right now and then name your rate within the range.Out-of-Network Benefits
Have insurance with out-of-network coverage? You may pay less than you think. Use the Thrizer benefit calculator to see what your actual cost could be before you commit to anything. (Link is on bottom of this section.)Check your coverage: https://eligibility.thrizer.com/stayawhileCommunity Access Fund (CAF)
If the sliding scale still feels out of reach and you don’t have out-of-network coverage, the CAF exists for you. A percentage of every session goes into this fund to support Deaf community members who need it.Reach out — we'll figure it out together.
ready when you are
Reaching out is the first act of showing up for yourself.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
My name is Jamie and I'm a Deaf therapist, content creator, and a new entrepreneur. I am highly intuitive and a big believer that healing is multidimensional.I built Stay Awhile Therapy so I could do this work the way it was meant to be done; creatively, differently, and completely outside the box. This practice is where I pour that into everything.The clients I most love working with are those figuring out who they are. The ones working through their shadow parts, finding their way back to wholeness, and learning to accept all of themselves.Outside the therapy room, I am a Sagittarius who is almost always up for an adventure and a lifelong learner who enjoys staying cozy with a good book, piecing puzzles together, exploring local gems, hiking in nature, and meeting beautiful souls over coffee. I find genuine interest in people because everyone has a story and I am currently writing mine.I believe healing can hard yet magical, messy yet beautiful, all at once. That is what we do here.
