Appointments

Fee:

 My fee is $175.00 for a 50 minute session. I do offer some sliding scale spots so please check with me about my rates.  I can be reached by phone at 415-870-4680.  

Therapy takes place once a week via a Telehealth platform unless otherwise discussed.  I am currently practicing in Sonoma County but have the capability of providing therapy throughout the state of California.  

Insurance:

I do not participate in any HMO or PPO provider panels, but many PPO (and some HMO) members have benefits through a "point of service" or "out-of-network" option. In this case I can give you a statement of services rendered, called a "Superbill." You should call the insurance company in advance to see what information they need for out-of-network providers and how much they will cover.  


Good Faith Estimate:  

As of January 2022 you are entitled to a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care 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 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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
