Frequently
asked questions

WHAT IS YOUR RATE?

My rate is $150 per session.

HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?

Sessions are 50 minutes.

HOW DO I PAY FOR SESSIONS?

I require clients to have a credit card on file, but payments can also be made with cash, FSA, and debit cards.

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

I do not accept insurance at this time. Many insurance companies give out-of-network reimbursements for mental health services and as an out-of-network provider I am happy to provide you with a coded statement (Superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement for services. I encourage you to check with your insurance provider ahead of time to understand what reimbursement options may be available.


HOW OFTEN DO WE MEET?

I recommend weekly therapy, especially in the early stages of the therapy process. We will then collaborate on any adjustments to your schedule that may be beneficial for you as we go.

HOW LONG DO YOU TYPICALLY WORK WITH SOMEONE?

Everyone is different.  It really depends on what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping to accomplish, what your unique life experiences have been and how much you’re willing to participate in the therapeutic process. I find it helpful to have an initial conversation on this topic to ensure we’re beginning our work on the same page. 


HOW DO I KNOW IF YOU’RE A GOOD FIT FOR ME?

Feeling connected to and understood by your therapist is extremely important. An initial phone consult is a great opportunity for us to start to get know each other and for you to decide if I’m the right therapist for you.


WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

I have an office in Petaluma, CA and also conduct appointments virtually. Online sessions take place on HIPAA compliant platforms, similar to FaceTime and Zoom (but more secure). You will receive instructions before your first session. 

HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?
