Frequently Asked Questions

Individual Therapy:

$175 — 50-minute session

Payment is due at the time of service.

Major credit cards, FSA, and HSA accepted.

Private pay sessions offer greater flexibility with the structure of your care, without insurance authorization requirements.

I am currently in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Carelon, and Cigna via Headway.

If I am not in-network with your insurance plan and you have out-of-network benefits with a PPO plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement from your insurance company. Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed.

If you plan to use OON benefits, you have a couple of options:

1- I can provide a monthly superbill for you to submit directly to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Please note that submitting a superbill requires sharing a mental health diagnosis with your insurance company.

2- You may also use Thrizer, a third-party service that can help with the out-of-network (OON) reimbursement process. Check OON benefits using Thrizer here.

Tip: If you'd like to verify your benefits directly with your insurance company, consider asking:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits for telehealth psychotherapy sessions? If so, what percentage is reimbursed?

• What is my deductible, and has it been met?

• Are there limits on the number of therapy sessions covered per year?

• How do I submit a superbill for potential reimbursement?

Yes. While I support a range of anxiety and depressive disorders, I may refer out to a specialized provider for conditions such as eating disorders, ADHD assessments, or substance use disorders. This helps ensure you receive the most appropriate level of specialized care for your needs.

Yes. I only provide individual therapy for adults (18+).

I do not offer therapy for minors, couples, or families at this time.

I provide therapy virtually through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. It allows us to meet safely from anywhere in California.

To get started:

1. Join your session using the secure link provided.

2. Keep both audio and video enabled.

3. Be in a private, comfortable space.

4. Confirm your current physical location (address) at the start of each session for telehealth compliance.

5. Use a reliable internet connection for the best experience.

Most clients begin with weekly sessions for at least the first several weeks. As progress is made, sessions may transition to every other week.

Some individuals meet their goals in a shorter timeframe and return to therapy as needed in the future. Others benefit from more consistent, longer-term support.

We’ll work together to tailor a plan that fits your goals and supports your individual needs.

To respect everyone’s time and ensure appointment availability, clients are required to cancel or reschedule sessions with at least 24 hours’ notice.

Your credit card on file may be charged the full session fee for Late Cancellations and No-Shows. The full policy is available for new clients to review prior to their first appointment.

This practice does not provide letters, evaluations, or completion of forms for the following:

• Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters

• Disability determinations

• Housing or workplace accommodations

• FMLA paperwork

• Fitness-for-Duty evaluations or work/school clearance letters

• Custody evaluations

• Expert opinions for legal proceedings

These requests fall outside the scope of services offered. Clients seeking such evaluations are encouraged to consult an appropriate evaluating provider or agency. A full policy is provided for clients to review prior to their first appointment.

Currently my practice is telehealth-only and fully virtual. I look forward to connecting with you virtually!

Yes. I’m only licensed to practice in California and cannot provide services to individuals located outside the state.

You must be a California resident and be physically located in California at the time of each session.

If you like more information before scheduling or have additional questions, you’re welcome to reach out through the secure contact form. I’d be happy to answer your questions.
