Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most common questions I’ve been asked over my career. If your question cannot be answered below, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Do you offer sliding scale rates?

  • I offer sliding scale rates based off of availability. I understand that therapy is expensive and can take a financial toll. I will do my best to work with you based off of availability.

Do you provide online therapy services?

  • Yes! I am able to provide telehealth services to clients residing in the state of California. I use a HIPPA compliant video platform for these services.

Do you take insurance?

  • I am not in-network with any insurance companies, however, I can provide you with a superbill that you can send to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

    The cost of services depends on a number of factors including your provider’s fee, frequency of services, and duration of treatment. You can receive an estimate of service costs as described below.

    As of January 1, 2022, under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
