Frequently Asked Questions
-
It’s complicated. While I am not contracted with any insurance company. I provide something called a “Superbill” which is used by clients who wish to use their insurance by getting reimbursed for sessions. The process is simple, but not is often not discussed by insurance companies.
Typically, a call to your insurance company will let you know how much the reimbursement rate would be and how you can upload the documents to them after each billed session.

I am committed to making mental healthcare as accessible as possible. If financial concerns are limiting your ability to pursue consistent therapy services, please reach out with further detail. I am happy to work with your budget on a temporary basis with a payment plan or sliding scale rate.
I am currently ACCEPTING sliding scale clients with financial stressors.

This is a way for us to determine if we are a good therapeutic fit (ie your needs match my skills) or if I can refer you to another provider that might be a better match. Goals, treatment interventions, and fees are discussed here.
We can meet via video or phone.

I bring with me extensive training and certifications (EMDR, Brainspotting, Gottman, ADHD-CCSP), education (University of California, Los Angeles, and Pepperdine University), and over 5000+ hours of supervised experience working with psychologists in the field.

As of January 1, 2022, under U.S. federal law related to the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to provide clients and patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance to pay for their care with a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected for their healthcare needs, inclusive of psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services.
You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other 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.
