Question 1

What is your fee for therapy and/or groups?

Accepted Answer

My fee for individual psychotherapy is $350 for a 50-minute session. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under California 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.

Question 2

Can I see you in person? Do you offer telehealth/video visits?

Accepted Answer

I see clients in person in my office in Noe Valley (San Francisco).

I also offer telehealth to clients residing in California, Nevada and Florida.

Question 3

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

I am an out-of-network provider for psychological services. I am not currently on any insurance panels.

If you have a PPO plan, you can pay me directly for your sessions.  I will then provide you with a monthly superbill that includes the information your insurance needs to reimburse you.

To determine your reimbursement, contact your insurance company to ask how many sessions your plan covers, whether it includes a deductible, what percentage your plan reimburses and what the usual and customary rate is.

Question 4

How do you accept payment?

Accepted Answer

I accept cash, check, credit card or Venmo at the time services are rendered.

Question 5

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Please give me at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel your appointment. If you do not cancel your appointment within that time frame or don't show up, you'll be charged for the session.

Question 6

Is therapy right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you’re wondering whether therapy is right for you, consider this - if you’re overwhelmed, stretched too thin, questioning yourself constantly, or just feeling like something’s off - therapy can help.

You don’t have to be in full-blown crisis to deserve support. You don’t have to have all the words for what’s hard. You just have to be willing to show up, even get a little messy, and say, “This isn’t working for me anymore.”

If you’re craving space to be honest (without judgment), curious (instead of critical), and supported (without having to earn it), therapy might be exactly what you need.
