Frequently Asked Questions

How much will each session cost?

Session rates are $180/55 minute session, for individuals. Therapy is an investment of your time, energy, and financial resources. My rate reflects the cost of my education, professional licensing, and investment in trainings that I integrate into our work.

How often should we meet?

You are the expert on your own healing. Session frequency will vary depending on you and your needs. This can be discussed on a phone consultation or at our first session. Typically, clients choose to start off meeting weekly or biweekly.

Where will we meet?

I currently offer telehealth video therapy to any clients residing in California.

Do you accept insurance?

I accept Aetna insurance! For all other insurance plans, I’m considered an out-of-network provider. However, I can provide a superbill for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan. Please check with your health insurance provider to learn about your coverage, deductible, and reimbursement rates.

Do you offer sliding scale?

I do offer a limited number of sliding scale slots, depending on need and availability.

What will my first session look like?

At our first session, we will explore what brings you into therapy, do a thorough assessment, and discuss your expectations and goals for treatment.

How long does therapy take?

Length of therapy varies depending on what issues you’re wanting to work on in treatment, as well as the work done outside of sessions. Treatment length will be an ongoing discussion throughout the process and after our first session, we will have a better idea of how long it may last.

How do I get started?

To get started, please head over to the CONTACT ME tab, and submit your contact information with your availability to schedule a free initial phone consultation. This call will allow us to get to know each other and see if we are a good fit.

What is the ‘No Surprises Act Notice’ and Good Faith Estimate?

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask me or any other health care provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 985-635-4040.
