A worthwhile and invaluable investment for a healthy long-term you.

A benefit to you and those around you.

Individual Therapy and Assessments

Initial Psychiatric Assessment (50-60 min)

Return psychotherapy sessions (45-55 min)

My fees are set to the industry standard based on my work experiences, annual continued education and training, California Board of Behavioral Sciences fees, and geographic location.

For those who can afford my full fees, I thank you, as it subsidizes limited spaces for sliding scale-fee clients based on their financial needs.

Don't hesitate to contact me directly for my Psychiatric Assessments and Individual Therapy fees.

Payment

At this time, I am only accepting private pay clients and do not accept insurance. I accept payments through major credit & debit cards in addition to HSA/FSA through a HIPAA compliment payment method called IvyPay.

Many insurance plans provide full or partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. You may verify this benefit by contacting your insurance company and asking if they reimburse at all for seeing an out-of-network mental health provider.  If they do, I am able to provide you with a verification statement after your session called a "superbill", which contains the necessary information your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network claim. Clients are responsible for submitting claims to their insurance companies.

Please review the important statement below about the Good Faith Estimate.

Good Faith Estimate

 

    • It is a new law starting Janurary 2022 under the “No Suprise Act” ( (Title 45, section 149.610 of the Code of Federal Regulations). Under the new law, health care professionals, including psychotherapists, need to give their clients who are private pay (those choosing to not use their health insruance benefits) or clients without health insurance an estimate of the bill for services rendered (medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.)

    • The new law’s primary goal is to protect clients from unexpected medical bills. These surprise bills often occurred when a client received emergency care at an in-network hospital or clinic, but an out-of-network physician provided the service and billed the client separately.

    • You are entitled to receive this “Good Faith Estimate” of what the charges could be for your psychotherapy services provided to you. While me or other psychotherapists can not know, in advance, how many therapy sessions may be necessary for a given person, the notice will provide an estimate of the costs provided.

    • You can make sure your psychotherapist provides you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service. You can also ask your psychotherapist or any other providers you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. You can see my fees are transparent for the psychotherapy service in the above section.

    • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

    • After you are received the notice, you can save or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

  • For questions or more infomation about your rights to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process please visit these resources below. The initiation of the patient-provider dispute resolution process will not adversly affect the quality of services furnished to you.
