Rates & Insurance

All counseling services are provided online to couples located in California.

Brief Consultation 15 MINUTES – Free

During our free consultation, we can get to know each other and discuss how online therapy can help you. During this session, we will talk about the best ways we can work together. I use a secure video platform that is easy to access and easy to use. Our sessions are face-to-face through secure video, so you get real-time help and support.

Initial Video/Phone Session & Assessment-$200-$240

When you decide to schedule, we’ll begin with a 50 minute initial biopsychosocial assessment to more fully understand your current issues and goals for therapy. This meeting will also include the establishment of an initial treatment plan.

4-Hour SYMBIS Premarital Counseling Intensive — $1,450 per couple

This focused online premarital counseling experience helps couples build a stronger foundation for marriage without committing to months of weekly appointments.

The package includes:

• Individual completion of the SYMBIS assessment by both partners

• Therapist preparation and personalized review of your assessment results

• One four-hour private premarital counseling intensive

• Guided conversations about communication, conflict, finances, intimacy, expectations, personality differences, marital roles, and family-of-origin influences

• Practical communication and conflict-management exercises

• A customized relationship-strengthening plan

• Personalized resources and recommendations

• One 50-minute follow-up session, generally scheduled two to four weeks after the intensive

The follow-up session allows us to review your progress, address remaining concerns, and strengthen the tools you learned during the intensive. It must be used within 60 days of the intensive.

A $725 payment reserves your intensive. The remaining balance is due before the scheduled intensive. Additional couples counseling sessions are available for $240 per 50-minute session.

Emotional Support Animal Assessment

Per California law the following must be met in order to be qualified for an ESA letter for housing or travel.

• You must have established a minimum 30 day relationship with the clinician writing the letter.

• You must have an assessed deficit in daily living/functioning that is directly helped by the animal.

Insurance

I am in-network with the following insurance providers

• Lyra
• Modern Health
• Cigna 
• Optum
• United Behavioral Health
• Aetna
• UMR

Your co-payment and deductible will be billed at the time of service.

I am an Out-of-Network provider for most other insurance providers and will provide you invoices that you can submit to your plan for reimbursement.Please be advised that confidentiality may be compromised when you use health insurance to pay for counseling and psychotherapy. Before we start working together, I recommend you call your insurance provider and get details about your coverage. I would also be happy to call your insurance provider on your behalf and help you learn more about the details of your coverage.

Some questions you may want to ask your health insurance provider, include:

• Whether or not you have mental health coverage;
• Whether or not Telehealth is covered;
• Whether or not you’ve met your deductible;
• What is your coverage for out-of-network providers; and
• How many sessions of psychotherapy your insurance will cover.

Cancellations & Missed Appointments

If you are unable to attend a session please notify me as far in advance as is possible. Since scheduling an appointment involves the reservation of time specifically for you, a minimum of 24-hour notice is required for rescheduling or canceling an appointment. You will be responsible for the full fee for missed sessions and cancellations if 24-hours has not been given.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the 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.
