You Deserve to be Here. 

I’m so glad you’re here!

Imagine the freedom of being your authentic self. Do you ever get lost in your thoughts and emotions, while being tied down by endless responsibilities to others or work? Feeling like there’s not enough time or space to work on YOU. Sometimes this causes loss of self/identity, low self-esteem, anxiety, perfectionism, depression and dissatisfaction with life overall.

Often times, we believe that hardship is to be overcome with sheer will, resilience, courage and strength. With time we learn we just can't do it alone! In this place of vulnerability, we learn that great success and healing comes with the support and encouragement from others.

Therapy is a safe and intentional process of working through challenges in life. This can be accomplished by gaining the awareness and insight to making connections from past traumas, developing healthier boundaries and building meaningful relationships with our support system as well as with our authentic selves.

Do you feel like you’re not ready for therapy yet? I completely get it, therapy can feel scary. It takes just one step of courage to take the chance that can create the change you’ve always needed. I look forward to walking alongside you as you take this time to discover a new path and redefine this season of your life.

Let’s take this step together.

Virtual Therapy Rates & What to Expect:

During our first session we will focus on gathering information, explore further on what has brought you to therapy, and collaboratively identify treatment goals.  You will be given the opportunity to ask questions and discuss expectations for therapy.  After our initial meeting you will be presented a clinical recommendation for frequency of sessions. 

Weekly sessions are recommended and at times required (minimum of 10-12 consecutive weekly sessions initially before moving on to less frequency) to achieve optimal results by establishing rapport, building momentum and getting the best progress out of the therapeutic experience.  However, I will work with you to develop a plan that best meets your needs.  Short term therapy is advisable based on needs however will be agreed upon with a minimum of a 12 session commitment. Longer sessions can be arranged as needed and are recommended for biweekly appointments. Payment is due at time of services provided.

Insurance:

We are a private pay practice and not contracted "in-network" with HMO/PPO insurance plans. However for PPO/POS plans, a monthly insurance ready “superbill” (receipt) can be provided upon request for reimbursement purposes. You will be responsible to submit the superbill directly to your insurance provider if your plan offers "out of network" reimbursement.  If you decide to move forward with your out-of-network benefits, it is helpful to know that insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis for services provided.

Please check with your insurance provider to verify the details of your out-of-network coverage and if you have reimbursement rates for mental services as well as deductible information.  Understand that your services may or may not be covered in full. You will still be responsible to pay for full therapy fees at each session. 

You may check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions to your PPO/POS insurance provider:

• Do I have “out-of-network” mental health insurance benefits for Associate Therapists?

• What is the “allowed amount” per session and the reimbursement rate (percentage) per therapy session I will be reimbursed for psychotherapy?

• What is my deductible and has it been met? Can deductibles be met with out-of-network mental health appointments?

• Is tele-health psychotherapy sessions covered in my out of network plan

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

• Often used CPT codes: 90791, 90837, 90847

• How do I submit my Claim?

• How will I be reimbursed?

*We do not accept medi-cal or medicare.
