Services & Fees


Transform Psychotherapy offers Telehealth to anyone and anywhere in the state of Minnesota.


We also offer in-person sessions at our office in Bloomington, MN conveniently located two blocks away from the Mall of America.


WE HAVE LIMITED SLOTS, BUT ARE HAPPILY ACCEPTING FULL FEE, PRIVATE PAY CLIENTS

We are not on any insurance panels at this time.

Our Sliding Scale Slots are also full at this time. 

Service Fees

Free Services:

  • Ask Me Anything (AMA): A FREE 15 minute meeting with Mel Day to litterally ask them anything. Are you a NeuroQueer looking for resources? Do you have a question about our services? Are you a curious human who wants to pick at my brain. Whatever it is, you are always welcome to ask. 

Fee-based Services:

Services are billed based on units of 15 min increments rather than per specific service. The standard rate for all of our services is $55 per unit (15 min of service)

  • Meet and Greet (30 minutes)
  • Intake Screening/Diagnostic Interview (75 minutes) 
  • Psychotherapy (30+ minutes)
  • Diagnostic Assessment (90+ minutes)
  • Gender Affirming Care Support Letters (30+ mintues)

What’s Included?

  • Meet and Greet:
    • A meeting to get to know you and your goals, and decide if we are a good fit. This will be held in person or through videocall. Even if we decide it is best we don’t work together, you will walk away with a list of resources, referrals, and a brief, professional recommendations on what services would likely best fit your needs. 
    • If you do choose our services, the fee for this service will be used as a credit toward your Intake or Diagnostic Assessment.
  • Intake Screening:
    • A detailed review of your personal history, identification of current difficulties and strengths, and professional recommendations for treatment. This is only for those that elect out of using any OON benefits.
  • Diagnostic Assessment:
    • Same as the Intake Screening, with the addition of a formal mental health disorder diagnosis that meets medical standards, which may be helpful to receive other services (e.g. gender affirmation intervention, medication management.) You also must have a full diagnostic assessment if you choose to use your OON benefits.
  • Psychotherapy:
    • In-person or video sessions that focus on developing a treatment plan that meets your personal goals and lived experience. This may include EMDR, DBT Skills, and/or other Trauma-informed evidence based practices.
  • Gender Affirming Care Support Letters
    • While the exact services can't be specified briefly here, because so much of it depends on what type of care you are seeking. We do provide thorough assessments of Gender Dysphoria and follow all of the necessary criteria outlined by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) and have assisted many folks in writing professional letters of support for obtaining medical interventions. For more information, please make a request for an appointment so we can help you determine the specific services from us to help you.

Private Pay Practice

Transform Psychotherapy Fees

Use Your Out-Of-Network Benefits Easily

Paying for therapy can be overwhelming, but we are here to help!

At Transform Psychotherapy, we understand that insurance can be confusing. We are an out of network practice, but did you know that many insurance plans still offer reimbursement to their customers? We can even help you make claims through our fantastic service called Mentaya. You deserve to get all the benefits your insurance is supposed to provide you and we want to make sure you do.

No more frustration with submitting superbills and trying to read confusing legalese. Mentaya makes it easy for both of us- we get paid well and you get the money you are entitled to. Check the link below to see how much money you can get back from our services.

Verifty your OON Benefits

Unfortunately, Medicaid does NOT currently cover or reimburse services by OON providers. Sliding scale is the most appropriate choice for interested clients on Medical Assistance (in Minnesota: MnSure).

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, HSA, and FSA to make paying for therapy as smooth as possible.

Sliding Scale

At Transform Psychotherapy, we believe that everyone should have access to quality therapy. That’s why we are proud members of Open Path Collective. Our sliding scale fee slots are perfect for clients who want to prioritize their mental health but are concerned about the cost. Check out our Open Path Collective profile to see if we are currently accepting Sliding Scale clients.

Good Faith Estimate

We understand that medical costs can be scary, but we are here to make it easier for you. As a patient, you have the right to a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Health care providers are required by law to provide patients without insurance or not using insurance with an estimate of their medical bill. For more information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3095.

At Transform Psychotherapy, we want to empower you with the knowledge you need to navigate the sometimes complicated world of medical billing.

Let's work together!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer teletherapy?

Yes! I do it through my HIPPA-compliant online portal. I can also utilize other platforms like Zoom or Google Meet if that works better for each of our computers.

Is your office ADA-compliant?

Yes! There are accommodations for the main entrances to the building, elevators, and ADA-compliant bathrooms. My suite door and office do not have assisted doors, so please tell me how you’d like to navigate with these.

Are there gender-neutral restrooms in your building?

Yes! They are on the South side of the building on the second floor.

I experience sensory overload, can I still come into the office?

That’s up to you! There are florescent lights throughout the building, but I can control the lighting within my office, with lamps and natural light from the atrium in the center of the building. I have a white noise machine if that is helpful to drown out the other noises around us. It’s generally pretty quiet, but I cannot guarantee other tenants can always remain quiet throughout the building. No strong smells as far as I can tell, but there are live plants in the atrium. For taste, I can provide coffee or tea and various candies if that is helpful. I will also provide a basket of various fidgets, but feel free to bring your own! If you’d like, you can always come visit briefly before scheduling a full session on site.

Where is your office in the building?

I am on the second floor on the North side right next to the elevator. It is a little confusing at first, so you can text me through the client portal or on my work cell 612-405-4258 if you get lost.

Is there free parking?

Yep! All around the building.

Can I get there via public transportation?

Yes. The 28th Ave station of the Blue Line Light Rail is probably the closest public transit station. However, the office is about two blocks away from the Mall of America, if you don’t mind a 5-10 min walk.

We offer Telehealth to anyone in the state of Minnesota and in-person therapy sessions at our office in Bloomington, MN.

Teens

We help guide teens and their families through gender and sexuality exploration and navigate this difficult thing we call life.

Relationships

All relationship structures deserve therapy. We support couples, polycules, kink, BDSM, or any other form of committed relationship.

Neurodivergence

Let’s lean into your unique brain. We help neurodivergent and neurotypical humans (ADHD & ASD) cultivate their authentic identities.

Gender & Sexuality

Inside or outside the binary, let’s discover what is true for you. Whether you are exploring gender or sexuality, we can help you navigate.

Sex Therapy

Don’t let sexual difficulties impact your quality of life. We can help with sexual desire, sexual dysfunction and problematic sexual behaviors.
