Policies

General Policies:

• I see adults, teenagers and couples virtually throughout California.

• I offer a complimentary full-session phone or video consultation to see if we are a good fit. Sessions are weekly and 60 minutes. All sessions are via secure Video Conference (or phone, if needed).

• My fee is $350 for individuals and couples. Sliding scale is available to those who qualify. There are only a limited number of sliding scale slots offered.

• I am not in network with insurance companies, though my office can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance provider (reimbursement rates vary depending on your agreement with your provider).

• 24 hours advance cancellation is required in order to avoid paying the full session fee. Continued cancellations or no shows after 3 missed sessions could result in dismissal of services.

Good Faith Estimate

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.
