Frequently

Asked

Questions

Are you accepting new clients?

Currently, I am accepting virtual therapy clients (age 12+), virtual parent training or family therapy clients, and testing/evaluations are available. I am also accepting new in-person therapy sessions.

My office location is Beverly Hills adjacent near the intersection of San Vicente Blvd and Wilshire Blvd. The address is listed below.

Who do you work with?

I work with a diverse range of clients, including children as young as age 2, adolescents, young adults, and adult caregivers in parent counseling or family therapy sessions. I have experience working with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral concerns, family conflict, and relationship difficulties.

My specialty areas are working with toddlers and teens, but of course, I also love working with any kids in between those age ranges! For toddlers, I utilize a play-based approach to therapy, which helps them express their emotions and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. For teens, I work to establish a strong therapeutic alliance, as I understand the importance of having a supportive relationship with the therapist during this challenging phase of life.

In addition to these specialties, I also have experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families, as well as families from diverse cultural backgrounds. I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all of my clients, and I tailor my approach to best fit their unique needs and goals.

If you're interested in learning more about my approach or scheduling a consultation, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Are you available in the evenings?

Yes, I am available for evening therapy sessions until 7 PM PST.

How much do therapy sessions cost?

Session prices vary depending on type of treatment- individual psychotherapy, parent counseling, or family therapy. Session prices begin at $300 per session.

How much does psychological testing cost?

Psycho-diagnostic and psycho-educational evaluations can vary depending on need, age level, and areas of concern, therefore, the length of testing sessions. Please sign up for a free consultation or call/text to get a quote on the cost of psychological testing.

Do you accept insurance?

I currently do not accept any insurance and all fees will need to be covered out of pocket. Insurance companies usually have a limit on the amount of sessions attended, which is very restrictive and can lead to difficulties pursuing goals in therapy.

It is important to contact your insurance company to better understand your benefits. I provide all my clients with a superbill, an invoice with fees for the sessions, when requested. Based on your insurance benefits, the fees of the sessions may be reimbursed to you by your insurance company or may contribute to your deductible.

Is Telehealth a good option?

Telehealth sessions are only available to adolescents and adults.

Working with a therapist via telehealth can be nerve-wracking for some, and there are many misconceptions about telehealth practice. Although telehealth might not work for everyone, for example, young children, most people adjust well and seem to enjoy the convenience and ease that comes with working with your therapist from your own home. Online therapy is just as effective as in person, and allows greater access to services.

If you have any further questions about strategies taken to make online therapy the most effective or if this is the right fit for you or your family, please contact me for a free consultation call.

All sessions are held with HIPAA compliant methods.

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost. 

The Good Faith Estimate Form is a law that has been put into place that requires providers to give patients any and all projected costs that could incur from services provided. This is so that there is no surprise fee at any time. The amount that is included on the Good Faith Estimate form that you will review includes any possible cost that could incur.

Under the law, healthcare providers are required to provide a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges to individuals who do not have health insurance or do not plan to use their insurance for services. ​You are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate upon your request, or when you schedule healthcare services.

Your Good Faith Estimate is based on the information known at the time of the estimate and does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may come up during treatment. The actual services or charges may differ from the estimate.​ If you are billed at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you are legally allowed to dispute (appeal) the bill. You can do this by contacting your healthcare provider or starting a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
