My current rate per session is $165 and is due at the time of each appointment. I do accept some insurances as well. Our initial session will be 60 minutes, while all follow-up sessions will last approximately 50 minutes.
Payments are accepted by exact cash, or credit card through my secure Electronic Health Record (EHR).

Yes! I offer a limited number of low-fee slots because I understand that not everyone can afford my full fee. Please check with me to see if I have any open slots available.

We are paneled with some insurances via Alma and Headway. Please reach out to us to see if we are in network with your insurance plan.

For those who want to use their out of network benefits: Please call your insurance company to get information on your “out of network” benefits. I can gladly provide you with a receipt which you can submit to your insurance company and try to receive a reimbursement from them. Many clients have been able to get a portion of their fees reimbursed for the cost of sessions in this manner. I recommend calling the toll-free number on the back of your insurance card to find out the specifics on your plan for out of network mental health providers.

However, I do have to inform you that in order for you to submit for this type of out-of-network reimbursement, I would have to assign you a “Diagnosis Code”, as required by the insurance companies which becomes part of your permanent medical record.

Yes! Oftentimes, a parent, family member or friend helps pay for therapy costs for my clients. If they are paying by credit card, their information can be entered into the EHR (with their permission).

If you need to cancel your appointment please notify me at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. Please call me at 916-713-3455 to let me know you need to cancel. Due to my availability, cancellation less than 24 hours before the session will result in a charge for the full rates.

First appointment details: If a person makes an appointment, time and money will be saved if forms are filled out in advance. I will send you all the paperwork electronically using your email. I send you the email link to the paperwork through my Electronic Health Record (EHR), which is a private, HIPAA secure platform. You can review and sign all paperwork electronically. You don’t have to worry about printing out anything.
If you don’t have access to email, please let me know, and we can work around this.
I require that all electronic paperwork be completed at least 48 hours before our scheduled appointment in order to keep your appointment.

I require clients to arrive at the first appointment with forms filled-out to allow more time to get to know each other. But no worries, I will walk you through the process when you contact me.

The first time we meet I will conduct an intake session which consists of me asking you questions and getting to know you better. We will discuss why you have decided to start therapy and what your goals are for our time together. This is also a great opportunity to get to know me, ask me any questions you may have, and see how you feel in my office and with me. At the end of the session, we can talk about moving forward in scheduling another session and beginning the rest of your therapeutic journey.

Please note that this first session is not complimentary; it is a fully paid session. If you would like a complimentary consultation call to see if you are going to be a good fit in advance of the first session, I recommend you book this first by contacting me.

The length of therapy is different for everyone as this depends on the reason or issues needing to be addressed. For example, therapy may last six months after addressing issues such as the loss of a loved one or the termination of a relationship. For individuals looking to change deeply rooted patterns and belief systems, the process usually takes longer. On average, I see my clients for a minimum of 10-12months. However, I constantly check in with my clients to determine if it feels appropriate and timely to end therapy.
