How long are sessions?

Sessions are 50 minutes. I keep track of time, but sometimes clients feel anxious if they don’t know how much time they have left. If this is you, don’t be afraid to look at your phone or watch as needed. I promise I don’t think it’s rude!

How much do sessions cost?

Individual therapy sessions are $200/session. Couples therapy sessions are $250/session.

Do you take insurance?

No, I do not take insurance at this time. Sessions are considered private pay (out of pocket), although I encourage clients who are interested in possible reimbursement from their insurance to call their insurance and ask if they “accept superbills for out of network providers”. A superbill is an invoice that lists the therapy services you received and how much it cost, along with other information, which your insurance can use to potentially reimburse you partially or fully depending on your insurance type and coverage.

Do you offer sliding scale?

I currently do not offer sliding scale.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends! I offer both short term and long term therapy. Short term therapy, sometimes called brief therapy, is 6 months or less, generally speaking. Long term therapy is anything more than 6 months. I collaborate with my clients to create goals for therapy, so if you are interested in short term or long term therapy specifically, we can discuss how to cater your therapy goals to accommodate this.

Also, keep in mind that outpatient therapy is voluntary, which means we can stop therapy at any time. You are not required to come for a specific amount of sessions.

Do you offer in-person therapy?

Not at this time. I currently provide virtual therapy only to clients in the state of California.

Can we meet if I am not in California?

I can only meet with clients to are physically in the state of California at the time of session because I am licensed in California only. That means even for my regular clients, if you are on vacation somewhere out of state/out of the country, we will have to wait until you are back for our next session!
