Therapy Fees

I am an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance.  I can provide you with a monthly receipt (superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Please reach out to me to inquire about self pay rates for individual, couples, and families weekly 50 minute sessions.

Therapy is an investment in your well-being and long-term health. The consistency of weekly sessions are a key aspect to the work that sends a signal to your psyche of the commitment you’re making to real transformation .

Consultations and Supervision

I am available for business consultations and supervision in the states of Texas and Washington for those working towards doctoral licensure. Please reach out to inquire about availability and rates.

Cancellation Policy

A minimum of 48 business hours notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment.  Full payment is required for late cancellations or no-shows.

Private pay clients are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate prior to engaging in therapy.  Please click here for more information on the No Surprises Act.

"See What Others Say"

  • “I decided to take the meeting with * because, although I was irritable today, I felt much better after our meeting. This is what * told me a few hours after the meeting: "I'm so impressed with how you took that feedback and our conversation in general. Proud to have you as our CTO." I just wanted to say thank you for being there for me, and for all your excellent guidance.”

  • “My time with Dr. Mellissa Tong was by far the best experience I’ve had in therapy. Our work became such a root of understanding and safety for me as I transitioned through life and its challenges, as well as its joys. Over the years I have come to see what an expert practitioner Mellissa is. She draws from a multitude of approaches and dialectics that helped me explore a wide scope of my personhood. In therapy I learned that I don’t have to repeat the over-stressed and under-resourced patterns of conflict that marked my childhood. I learned to find a different way through the fray that intimacy can feel like. Mellissa has been a steadying guide through this journey. She is the absolute best and I feel so lucky to have been able to work with her.”

  • “By the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE when we share a client because they always rave about you and it is so wonderful hearing about the beautiful work you do.  * has been getting so much out of yall's couples work and he told me today about learning to speak "mother ease" or "motherese."  :). So sweet.”

  • “Many times in healthcare we don’t get the chance to know how someone’s story ends or get updates on their progress especially if it’s positive so I wanted to share with you. We gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her name is * and we are blessed to have her in our lives. My mom has been amazingly supportive throughout the pregnancy and is here now helping us settle in after coming home with *. Thanks for all your help I’m acknowledging and accepting my own childhood experiences and fears.”

    F.H.

  • “I’ve had anxiety issues and panic attacks for most of my life but I’ve been working with Dr. Tong to manage my anxiety since 2021 and I haven’t experienced any panic since then!”

    S.K.

  • “As a person of color, I found Dr. Mellissa to be very relatable, highly knowledgeable, and informed about issues that I face as a gay man. I am so amazed at what I’ve been able to uncover and understand about how my upbringing has affected the way I see the world and how I show up in it. I have learned how to set the tone, to know and be able to hold my boundaries, and advocate for my needs in relationships which is huge for me! Everything is so much better now in the way I am in relationships and I am finally thankful to be living every day now!”

    C.P.

  • “You make such a difference to people and this client does an incredible job of illustrating how rare and powerful your talent, nurturance and skill is.  Thank you for representing our team and mission so well.”

    C.H.

  • “My chronic back pain of 23 years has become nothing but a small murmur since I’ve been working with Dr. Tong. I went from doctor to doctor for years and no-one could help me until I tried therapy and realized that my pain was not borne out of an organic issue but instead out of complex trauma. I am so relieved and life is very different now that I can live pain-free. My wife has also noticed other significant differences in me and she is so glad I found therapy.”

    B.K.

  • “We’ve had so many breakthroughs in our marriage from couples therapy, such a vital difference from the previous therapist we were with, but you don’t know until you know. Dr. Tong has been the only one who has been able to reach my husband in session that he actually looked forward to therapy.”

    S.P.

  • “I’m coming back to do the work that I didn’t want to look at before - I wasn’t ready then but I am now and I hope that you’re willing to work with me again because it was really helpful before and foundational. I now know what therapy is like and I know when we go deeper this time it will be even more significant.”

    J.P.

  • "In just under two years, I have experienced the miracle of my life. Therapy did me no harm before, but Dr. Mellissa has done me so much good. As a mother, wife, and child of God, I have benefited so much from her care, and so has everyone who loves me. My family moving forward, in generations to come, has the benefit of the work we’ve done and the healing that has happened. For some of us the road is long, and the pain is deep, but there is hope and there is help. All therapists are not equal, and it took me thirty years to find a truly great one. I thank God for her every day.”
