Insurance

Our practice is not an in-network provider with any insurance companies, allowing us to offer more personalized care. However, many PPO plans may reimburse a portion of the session fee (typically between 60-100%).

As an out-of-network (OON) provider, we can provide you with a Statement for Insurance Reimbursement (superbill), which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please confirm with your insurance company for further details about your coverage and reimbursement process.

Payment method

We accept the following payment methods:

Debit card
Credit card
Health Saving Account (HSA)
Flexible Saving Account (FSA)

Cancellation and Late Arrivals

Please notify us of any cancellations or changes to your appointment 24 hours in advance. If you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment, you will be responsible for the full session fee.

Due to scheduling constraints, we are unable to offer extended sessions. If you arrive late, we will still conclude the session at the scheduled time, and the full session fee will apply.

What To Expect

(1) 15-min free video consultation

This is a brief, no-cost meeting where we can connect and see if working together feels right. Due to licensure requirements, you must be physically located in California at the time of our consultation and for all sessions. During this call, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your needs, and decide together whether it’s a good clinical fit to move forward.

(2) Intake Session

Your first full session (50 minutes)

This is our starting point. We'll explore your current concerns, personal history, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This session helps me understand your story and begin tailoring a treatment approach that supports your needs. We’ll usually spend some time at the end of the session to discuss your initial treatment goals and plan moving forward.

(3) Ongoing Sessions

Therapy is most effective when sessions are regular and consistent—weekly meetings are strongly recommended, especially in the beginning. This structure supports momentum, deepens trust, and provides a stable space to explore your challenges, gain insight, and build meaningful change over time. Our work is collaborative, and your reflections help shape the direction of our sessions.

(4) Termination for this episode of care

The length of therapy varies depending on several factors, such as your goals, progress, and personal circumstances. Typically, we’ll begin discussing termination once your treatment goals are met and we’ve addressed the challenges you initially brought to therapy.

As we approach the end of this phase, we’ll take time to reflect on your progress, discuss the tools and strategies you can continue using, and ensure that the closure is thoughtful and intentional. Termination is an important part of the process—we’ll ensure you feel prepared for this transition.

You are always welcome to initiate another episode of care in the future, should new challenges arise or if you feel the need to return to therapy at a later time.

FMLA and/or OTHER PAPERWORK

Only fully licensed clinicians are able to complete FMLA, disability, or other official documentation.

If you are requesting any forms, letters, or paperwork—such as FMLA or disability documentation—please note that there is a fee for this service.

The current rate is billed in 15-minute increments, with a minimum charge of 15 minutes per document.

This fee covers the time required to review your records, complete the paperwork, and ensure that appropriate clinical documentation is included.

Disability-related paperwork may require more extensive review or additional assessments beyond the standard intake session.

Administrative tasks such as preparing and exporting documents, coordinating with human resources or the third party company, or preparing releases of information will also be billed at the same hourly rate if they fall outside of regular scheduling or clinical care.

Please note that we require at least four sessions before we can consider completing any FMLA, short-term disability, or related documentation. Completion of these forms is not guaranteed and will depend on whether your clinical presentation supports the request.

If your leave is approved, weekly sessions are typically recommended during the leave period to provide continued support.

You will be informed of the estimated time required before the form is completed, and documents are typically submitted within 5 business days (Monday–Friday) of receiving payment.
