Appointments

All counseling appointments are conducted via telehealth (otherwise know as online counseling, teletherapy, online therapy). Clients must reside in California due to state licensing laws. You can schedule an initial appointment by clicking on the Request Appointment button below.

 

Fees

$200 per session (50 minutes) of individual psychotherapy/counseling

Fees are collected at the time of service via a credit card. Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts can be used.

 

Insurance

I am not contracted with any health insurance plans. Therefore, fees will be collected at the time of service and cannot be billed to your health insurance first.

If you have a PPO type plan, I am considered an out-of-network provider. With most PPO plans, I can submit a claim for you as a courtesy to help make it easier for you to obtain reimbursement. Your insurance plan will then reimburse you directly according to your benefits for outpatient mental health services. Please note that filing an insurance claim means that I need to assign you a mental health diagnosis.

Working independently of insurance, I don’t have to compromise on the quality of services that I provide to my clients. Together, you and I will make decisions about the amount and type of therapy that best fits your needs — rather than having your insurance company dictate what services you receive.

 

New Clients

It’s normal to feel ambivalent about starting therapy – about spending money on yourself and about confronting difficult feelings and issues. I want to help you create long-lasting changes; it’s not always easy, but it’s an investment in yourself!

In my experience, you will achieve the best results when you commit to meeting weekly for at least the first 4-6 weeks. After that, we can discuss whether your goals can be met by meeting less frequently.
