To provide more personalized care, I do not accept insurance, but we can navigate this. I am happy to provide you with a Superbill, which is a form you can send to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

That means you’re responsible for the fees at the time of our appointment and, depending on your plan, a certain percentage of that may be paid to you by your insurance company. There is no guarantee that your insurance will reimburse you and you will need to contact them directly to find this out.

If you would like a Superbill, I encourage you to verify your Out-Of-Network benefits with your insurance prior to your session.

Insurance companies often require that you be given a clinical diagnosis that goes on your medical record. In some cases, they might ask for your therapy records. If you desire confidentiality, I encourage you to take as much time as needed to think about if a Superbill fits with your wants and needs.

All of my clients have a specific day and time for their sessions. If a client needs to reschedule, they have access to the online Client Portal where they can self-book a new appointment. Self-booking is a quick, easy, and convenient way to reschedule, and it reduces the hassle of back and forth of communication.

Yes. I can provide individual therapy sessions via video, this is also called tele-therapy. You must live in California for this service with me. I have a HIPAA compliant, confidential, and secure video session system. Video sessions can be through the computer or smartphone. Video sessions can be just as effective as in-person.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care 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.
