Cancellation and Late Arrivals

INSURANCE & REIMBURSEMENT

Our practice is an out-of-network (OON) provider.

This allows us to focus entirely on your clinical needs without the restrictions often imposed by insurance companies.

While we do not bill insurance directly, many PPO plans provide significant reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services (typically between 60% and 100% of the allowable amount).

How to Verify Your Benefits

If you have a PPO plan and wish to seek reimbursement, we recommend calling your insurance provider before our first consultation to ask the following questions:

Do you accept a "Superbill"? Confirm that they will accept a Statement for Insurance Reimbursement (Superbill) for out-of-network claims.
Does my policy cover Telehealth? Ask specifically if your plan covers virtual psychotherapy. You can provide them with these specific CPT codes:
- 90791-95: Initial Diagnostic Intake (First Session)
- 90834-95: Individual Psychotherapy, 50 minutes (Ongoing Sessions)
What is my deductible? Find out how much you must pay out-of-pocket before your out-of-network benefits kick in.
What is my reimbursement rate? Ask what percentage of the "allowable amount" the plan covers once the deductible is met.

Our Process

On the first day of each month, we will provide you with a Superbill for all sessions held during the previous month. You can submit this document directly to your insurance company through their member portal or via mail to receive your reimbursement directly.

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 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.
