My clinical recommendation is at least 4-5 weekly sessions to build our relationship and set goals. After that, weekly is recommended until we have met your goals. Many people want biweekly therapy because it is time and cost effective but it is not clinically advised until you are in a maintenance phase of therapy. I offer once a month sessions for those who may require a “tune-up” from time to time.

I offer both virtual and in person therapy, or a combination of the two in a hybrid model. My office is located at 3195 California Street in San Francisco. I am currently only in the office on Thursday afternoons and I try to reserve that time for small children (12 years old and under) since the creative and playful interventions used with this age are often easier in person. Sometimes people would like to meet in person 1-3 times to build a relationship and then transfer to virtual sessions. I am open to exploring what hybrid options would work best for you.

My fee is $220 for a 50 minute therapy hour. I also offer longer sessions at the same rate per minute. $264 for 60 minutes, $330 for 75 minutes, and $396 for 90 minute EMDR instensives.

I do not accept insurance and am considered an “Out-of-Network” provider. I can create a Superbill to submit to your insurance company, which could lead to reimbursement depending on your plan. You can call your insurance and ask about your reimbursement rate for therapy codes 90837 and 90834. For telehealth, add the code 95 which accounts for the fact that therapy will be over video as this could change your reimbursement rate. I also accept FSA/HSA cards.

Access to therapy is very important to me and a core value of my practice. I set aside one third of my practice to a sliding scale rate. Please inquire about rates and eligibility.

You have the right to receive 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 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.
