FAQ & Policies

Pricing and payment

​

My fee is $175/hr for individuals and $190 for couples. I do reserve slots in my schedule for clients who require a lower fee. Payment is made at the time of service or on a monthly basis via Zelle (preferred) or Paypal. 

 

 

 

InsurancE

​

I am not in-network with any insurance providers. Your insurer may provide coverage for out-of-network providers but you need to inquire directly with them about their policies. To help you navigate this process, I've outlined the following questions to ask your carrier about your coverage:

​

What are my mental health benefits?

Do I have out-of-network benefits?

How much does my plan allow for an out-of-network provider?

What is the "reasonable and customary"/"universal cap" per session?

How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?

Do I have a deductible? Have I met my deductible?

Is approval required from my primary care physician?

 

 

 

CancelLation policy

​

Weekly time slots are reserved and held for clients so I maintain a 24hr cancellation policy. Meaning, appointments canceled less than 24hrs in advance will be charged for a full session.

​

 

 

Phone consultation
 

Please do not hesitate to be in touch to set up an initial phone consultation. I offer free 20 minute consultations to give you an opportunity to get a better sense of me and how I work. 
Finding the right therapist is no easy task and I understand how important it is to feel comfortable as you embark on the journey.

​

 

 

Appointments

 

I offer appointments via telehealth as well as in-person with convenient locations in
West Los Angeles and on the East Side.
