Self-Pay Therapy for Adults with Grief
Experience and Compassion You Can Trust
Hello, I'm Lori Gephart, a Licensed Psychologist in Pennsylvania with 36 years of experience providing therapy for adults. I am accepting new clients and I have evening and weekend appointments available.
A Place to Carry What Hurts
Grief changes everything - your routines, your relationships, your sense of self, and the way you move through the world. Whether your loss is recent or years old, you deserve a space where your experience is honored without pressure, timelines, or insurance requirements. Self-pay therapy offers private, flexible, and deeply personalized support as you navigate life after loss.
Why Choose Self-Pay Therapy for Grief?
Complete Privacy
Your story stays between you and your therapist. No diagnosis is required, and no information is shared with insurance companies.
Flexible Scheduling
Grief doesn’t move in a straight line. Self-pay therapy allows you to adjust session frequency based on what you need week to week.
Personalized Support
Every loss is different. Self-pay therapy gives you the freedom to explore your grief at your own pace—without session limits or external restrictions.
No Insurance Barriers
No waitlists. No medical-necessity rules. No limits on session length or depth. You get direct access to care when you need it most.
Out-of-Network:
We have partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.
Mentaya is perfect if you:

• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement
• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
Here's how it works:
1. Check your out-of-network benefits by clicking here.
2. Next, schedule by clicking here.
3. Our practice will enter your sessions into the Mentaya platform.
4. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.
5. Mentaya charges a 5% claim processing fee.
6. You get reimbursed by insurance!
How Therapy Helps with Grief:
Make Sense of Your Emotions
Grief can bring sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, confusion, and moments of relief. Therapy helps you understand and navigate these shifting experiences.
Find Ways to Cope
Learn grounding skills, emotional regulation strategies, and supportive routines that help you move through difficult days.
Honor Your Loss
Create space to remember, reflect, and process the impact of your loss in a way that feels meaningful to you.
Rebuild Your Life
Therapy supports you as you adjust to a world changed by grief—helping you find steadiness, connection, and hope over time.
What Sessions Look Like:
- Gentle, supportive conversations
- Space to express whatever you’re feeling
- Practical tools for coping with overwhelming moments
- A pace that respects your grief and your boundaries
Who This Is For?
Self-pay therapy is ideal for adults who:
- Are grieving the death of a loved one
- Are navigating non-death losses (relationships, identity, health, life transitions)
- Want privacy and autonomy in their care
- Prefer flexible scheduling
- Are seeking deeper, more personalized support
