frequently asked questions
what are your fees?
Individuals (adults and teens) - $150 per 50-minute* session.
Couples & Other Partnerships - $175 per 50-minute* session.
* please feel free to ask if you require longer sessions
do you offer a sliding scale?
If finances are a barrier to us working together, I can offer a limited number of spots at a reduced rate.
will we meet in-person or via telehealth?
Depending on your need, we can meet either in a cosy office in Old Town Pasadena, or virtually through a fully HIPPA-compliant platform called Simple Practice.
what’s your cancellation policy?
Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged your full fee.
do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider, but can provide a monthly superbill for reimbursement. Before our first session, check with your insurance to see what they can offer you.
how come?
Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis after the first session in order to reimburse for services. For ethical reasons, this is not appropriate for most clients.
what’s a “good faith estimate”?
As a self-paying client, you have the right at any time before, or during the course of treatment to receive a document from me estimating, in good faith, the total cost to you.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your good faith estimate, you can dispute it, so be sure to keep a copy or picture of your good faith estimate.
