Information

Cost of Services

I only work with individual clients who are residents of California. I am a registered Associate of Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). My standard fee for a 50-minute session is $150. However, I understand that everyone's financial situation is unique, so I provide sliding scale options to ensure therapy is accessible. You can easily make payment for each session through a secure client portal using your card. Currently, I do not accept insurance.

Appointment Cancellations

Though I strive to keep scheduling flexible, I kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel a session for the week. Please note that missed or canceled sessions without proper notice will be charged for missed session. Additionally, if you would like to reschedule an in-person session to telehealth, I kindly request 24 hours notification.

Late Payments

If you're unable to make a payment for a session, we can discuss carrying the balance to your next scheduled session. However, please note that repeated late payments may result in the termination of services. Let's have a conversation and explore how we can continue your therapy.

Session Format

Currently, I am providing telehealth sessions using a video-sharing platform that is HIPAA-compliant. Additionally, I offer walk and talk sessions in a park or at the beach.

Client Confidentiality

Therapists and their supervisors are legally and ethically obligated to maintain strict confidentiality of all client information, with a few exceptions that will be discussed during the session.

Professional Boundaries

To prioritize the well-being of clients, ethical guidelines require therapists to maintain professional boundaries in their therapeutic relationships. This means that any personal relationships or associations with clients, even after the therapy has ended, are not allowed. Additionally, to ensure the privacy of all clients, I do not accept social media requests.

Good Faith Estimate

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