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.

  • For more info about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit: www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
