Fees & Insurance
I currently partner with Headway to accept the following insurances throughout the state of California:
Aetna
Anthem Blue Cross California
Cigna
Blue Shield of California
Outside of those insurance companies - I am a private pay or out-of-network provider. I require full payment for the session at the time of service. Upon your request we can bill through a billing platform called Thrizer. This platform takes the burden off of you in leveraging out-of-network insurance benefits. By paying through Thrizer, claims are automatically submitted to your insurance and the reimbursements are sent to your bank account directly. If this is something you are interested in, please let me know and I will send you an invitation for you to enter your insurance information.
I DO NOT do single case agreements.
Individual Therapy:
The initial intake session is $150. Ongoing individual sessions are $140. These sessions are generally 53-60 minutes long. Fees will be increased by $10 every January.
Family/Parent Sessions:
Parent sessions are required for minors (11 and under) being seen individually. Parents will be seen every fourth session, after children are seen for three individual sessions. These sessions can range from 30-45 minutes and are $130 per session. Fees will be increased by $10 every January.
I accept payment by credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, etc.) or HSA/FSA cards. Cash is also accepted. NO CHECKS. Card payments will be charged the same business day as the appointment.
No Show or Late Cancellations:
Sometimes life gets in the way. I require a 24 hour notice for cancellations. I do charge my full session rate for appointments cancelled with less that 24 hours notice. A credit card is kept on file for this purpose. The card must be current with funds on it or it will impact ability to schedule future appointments. NO SHOW appointments are appointments where you are more than 15 minutes late without notifying the therapist of the tardiness. The full fee of the appointment will be charged for NO SHOWS.
