Frequently Asked Questions

We chose this name because we do not want people to merely "survive" or "exist"; we want them to thrive and flourish. Nava means "she flourishes" in Hebrew. 

Currently, The Nava Center provides all psychotherapy services virtually. In-person psychotherapy services will be offered soon. Trainings are currently offered virtually and on location, and will soon be available in person at The Nava Center in Philadelphia.  

Currently, the Nava Center does not accept insurance. We do provide superbills/receipts for OON reimbursement. We use a household income-based sliding scale to determine session fees and are committed to meeting people where they are financially so that everyone has access to high quality trauma care regardless of socio-economic status. 

When you initially contact us, we will review the household's annual income and how many people it supports to determine your session fee. This is a collaborative process so that everyone has access to high quality trauma services. 

Most clients begin by attending therapy weekly. You and your therapist will ultimately determine the frequency of sessions, taking into account several factors, including your acuity, needs, and financial situation.

Since everyone has different needs, therapy can last different lengths of time for different people. Some people go to therapy weekly for years, some for a few months, and others come and go for different lengths of time across years. You and your therapist will work together to figure out what is best for you.

Donations allow us to offer free and very low-cost trauma therapy to those who are unable to afford it. Donations also help provide free antiracism training in the community. Thank you for your donations to help increase equity!
