Therapy in Mill Valley, CA | Tamara Pancoe, LMFT

Life in Mill Valley moves gently on the surface, tree-lined streets, quiet mornings, and a sense of calm that many envy. But inside, you may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to keep holding everything together. Therapy here offers a grounded space to slow down, breathe, and finally tend to the emotions you’ve been carrying alone. I help women in Mill Valley reconnect with themselves, move through chronic stress, and find steady emotional footing in a compassionate and supportive environment.

How it works

Setting the Foundation

This step helps us create a supportive framework that reflects your needs and intentions.

Building Awareness and Understanding

Together, we will explore where certain reactions come from and begin to understand what has been keeping you stuck. 

Creating Change and Cultivating Growth

As therapy progresses, we will focus on developing practical tools and new ways of responding that align with your goals.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do you accept insurance?

    I’m considered an out-of-network provider, which means you pay for sessions directly and can request reimbursement from your insurance company. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) each month that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.


    Please note that insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis to process claims. This means that you will first need to qualify for a mental health diagnosis before I can provide a superbill. 


    To check your out-of-network benefits, you can call your insurance provider and ask:

    • Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?
    • What is my deductible and have I met it?
    • What percentage of my session fee will be reimbursed?
    • Do I need pre-authorization for therapy?

    Many clients find that their insurance reimburses a portion of their session fees, making therapy more affordable.

  • What if I don’t want a diagnosis shared with my insurance?

    That’s completely okay. If you prefer not to submit claims for reimbursement, your diagnosis will remain private and will not be shared with anyone outside of our work together. Many clients choose to pay privately for this reason, as it allows for complete confidentiality and freedom from insurance requirements.

  • How does virtual therapy work?

    Virtual therapy allows us to meet from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Sessions take place on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform designed specifically for therapy. 


    All you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet, comfortable space where you can talk freely. Many clients find that meeting virtually makes it easier to stay consistent with therapy, without the added stress of travel or scheduling. 

  • Session Fees and Payment

    Each therapy session is 50 minutes and billed at a rate of $200 per session. Payment is due at the time of each session and can be made by credit card, debit card, or HSA/FSA card through a secure online system.


    If you ever need to adjust your schedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid a late cancellation fee.

  • Still Have Questions?

    If you have any other questions about fees, scheduling, or what to expect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to answer your questions before we begin so you can feel informed, comfortable, and confident about starting therapy.
