ABOUT PSYCHOTHERAPY
It is important for you to be aware that therapy has both benefits and risks. Psychotherapy can be emotionally painful at times. Sometimes you may feel worse before you feel better. This is a natural part of the therapeutic process, and often indicates progress is being made. Risks sometimes include experiencing uncomfortable feelings such as sadness, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. Psychotherapy can also help in facilitating improved relationships, greater self-confidence and problem resolution. While there are no guarantees, coming to therapy should help you feel better and produce beneficial and noticeable results.
My normal practice is to conduct an initial assessment period lasting several sessions, in which we discuss the nature of your concerns, establish treatment goals, and determine whether I am the appropriate person to provide the services you need at this time.
Modalities that I specialize in and typically use in an eclectic manner include: Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Belief Focused Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Rational Living Therapy (RLT) and Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM).
To learn more about how we practice EMDR, please read this article here.

Sessions are 45-50 minutes long unless otherwise arranged. Generally sessions take place on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Together we will determine how often and when we will meet. Payment is expected at the beginning of each session.
CASH RATES

- Individual/Couple/Family Session = $250
- Good Faith Estimate:
As of 2022, patients that are paying with cash only for their services have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. I will be happy to provide an estimate before scheduling any services.
INSURANCE & OUT OF NETWORK
- We accept Medicare and MediCal
- Beginning 10/1/2023: Initial Intake Assessment = $200; $185 thereafter
INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT
If applicable, we recommend that you contact your insurance provider to learn about your mental health coverage prior to scheduling your first appointment with me. We are NOT a contracted or in-network provider for most major insurance companies common in this area. Therefore, when contacting your insurance company, please inquire about out-of-network provider reimbursements and your co-payment/deductibles.
CANCELLATION POLICY
We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. This means that if you cannot make it to your scheduled appointment, we request that you notify us at least 24 hours in advance of the cancellation. Without advanced notice, we are unable to use that time for other clients. Insurance companies do not cover missed sessions therefore, you will be billed a no show rate of $85.
