Payments
I charge $235 for a 50-minute individual session, $295 for couples, and $360 for families. Payments are accepted via debit or credit cards through Ivy Pay, a HIPAA-compliant app designed to keep your personal information safe and private. I also offer a sliding scale for clients in low-income brackets to broaden access to support.
Insurance & Reimbursement (Therapy Only):
I currently only offer telehealth sessions via Zoom or phone for clients located in California or Nevada. I do not participate in any insurance plans. Some clients with PPO plans may receive partial reimbursement for out-of-network therapy services after meeting their deductible. Coverage is based on the insurer’s “allowable” cost, which often covers 50–60% of the session fee, though this amount varies widely.
For reimbursement, a diagnosis is required and must be assigned to an individual insured person. For couples or family therapy, one person must be designated as the “patient/client.” I can provide a superbill for submission to your insurance company, but I cannot guarantee reimbursement. You are responsible for contacting your insurance provider to confirm coverage, reimbursement amounts, and any requirements. Payment in full is required at the time of the session. I am happy to discuss the pros and cons of receiving a mental health diagnosis if you are considering using insurance.
Coaching Services:
Coaching sessions are not psychotherapy and cannot be reimbursed through insurance. Coaching is self-pay, forward-focused, action-oriented, and skill-based, helping clients clarify goals, build accountability, and create meaningful change in their personal and professional lives. Payment for coaching is due at the time of the session, and no superbill or insurance claim can be submitted for reimbursement.
Therapy Disclaimer
Results of therapy are not guaranteed. Exploring personal issues in therapy may sometimes make problems feel more intense or uncomfortable before improvement occurs. This is a normal part of the therapeutic process. If this happens, I encourage you to let me know so we can discuss strategies to stay safe and manage the feelings or challenges that arise during therapy.
Coaching Disclaimer
Coaching is a forward-focused, skill-based process, and results are not guaranteed. While coaching can provide tools, strategies, and accountability to support personal growth, career development, relationships, or life transitions, change depends on your engagement and effort. Sometimes progress may be slower than expected, or life circumstances may limit the results you achieve. Coaching can guide and support you, but it cannot guarantee specific outcomes.
I provide non-emergency therapy and coaching services by scheduled appointment. If you are experiencing a true emergency involving your safety or well-being, please call 911, contact a local crisis hotline, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
