Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy FAQs

What happens during a consultation?

The consultation is a free 15-minute phone call where we get to know each other. You will have a chance to share what you are looking for, ask me any questions about therapy, supervision, or coaching, and get a sense of whether I’m the right fit for your needs. I’ll also explain how I work, what services I provide, and what the next steps would look like if you decide to move forward. There’s no pressure to commit – the goal is simply to make sure you feel comfortable and informed. 

Do you take insurance?

No, I am an out-of-network, private-pay provider. However, many clients with PPO plans are able to submit “superbills” to their insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Do you offer telehealth services?

Yes, I offer secure telehealth sessions throughout California.

How long are therapy sessions, and how often do we meet?

Sessions are typically 45 minutes, once a week. Some clients benefit from longer sessions, 75 minutes or meeting more or less frequently, depending on their needs.

What are your fees?

$120 – Individual therapy session – 30 minutes

$200 – Individual therapy session – 45 minutes

$300 – Extended individual session – 75 minutes

What is your cancellation policy?

I kindly ask for a 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule sessions. Late cancellations or no-shows may be charged a fee.

Do you provide a Good Faith Estimate?

Yes. In compliance with the No Surprises Act, all clients who are paying out-of-pocket will receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs.

Coaching FAQs

What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?

Therapy focuses on healing emotional wounds, improving mental health, and treating clinical issues such as anxiety or depression. Coaching, on the other hand, is future-oriented. It’s designed to help you clarify goals, stay accountable, and make practical progress in your personal and professional life. 

What types of goals can coaching help with?

Coaching can support academic and career planning, time management and study skills, productivity, stress reduction, staying active and engaged, and working on personal growth. Many clients use coaching to break old habits and build new routines that align with their values. 

Do you work with clients outside of California for coaching?

Yes, coaching is not therapy, so I can work with clients across the United States and internationally. 

How much is your coaching session? 

30 minutes coaching session – $120

Is coaching covered by insurance?

No, coaching is not covered by insurance. It’s private-pay service.

Clinical Supervision FAQs

Who do you supervise?

I provide supervision for Associate Clinical Social Workers (ASWs), Associate Marriage & Family Therapists (AMFTs), and Associate Professional Clinical Counselors (APCCs) in California. 

Do you offer supervision remotely?

Yes. I provide HIPAA-compliant video supervision across California, making it easy for associates to meet their weekly requirements even with busy schedules.  

How much does Supervision Cost?

$100 – 1 hour of Individual supervision.

$90 – 1 hour of triadic supervision.

$80 – 2 hours of group supervision 

How do I get started with supervision?
