Questions
-
I am located at 250 W Main Street, Tustin, CA 92780. This is located in Steven's Square at the heart of Old Town Tustin.
-
Therapy is a financial and emotional investment in yourself and your wholistic well-being. I charge $195 for individual 45 minute sessions. For couples and/or family sessions I charge $210 for a 50 minute sessions. I do have a select few sliding scale slots available at one time, for those client's who qualify.
-
My practice is largely Out of Pocket/Cash Pay clients. If you have “Out of Network” benefits with your insurance plan, I do offer a monthly superbill which can reimburse you for the cost of therapy. I encourage you to speak with your insurance company about your benefits.
I do also work with a small number of In-Network insurance client at a time who have Aetna insurance policies. Feel free to ask me in a phone consultation if I have open insurance spots available at that time.
-
I utilize a secure and confidential payment app called Ivy Pay. You can conveniently link any debit, credit, HSA or FSA card. Payment is charged at the end of each session.
-
Teletherapy can be a convenient way to experience therapy from the comfort of your own home or any location you prefer that has privacy and secure wifi. I utilize a HIPAA compliant platform for online therapy sessions to ensure confidentiality. Together we can discuss if online therapy is a good fit for you.
-
Individual sessions are 45 minutes weekly at the same day and time each week. For couples I do 45-50 minute sessions. I prefer to work with my clients weekly and do find that weekly therapy works best for most people. I believe this tends to be the most helpful frequency for building good rapport, promoting growth, and cultivating a safe space together.
I also am available for double sessions with clients and/or meeting multiple times per week if this is helpful to your progress in therapy.
-
I have a 48 hour cancelation policy. If session is canceled less than 48 hours before session, I do still charge for that session. I do my best to try and reschedule with clients during the same business week of the canceled session, however rescheduling is not a guarantee.
If you are using insurance to assist you in paying for therapy, insurance does not cover late canceled/no show sessions. You therefore would be responsible to pay my full Out-of Pocket fee for that missed session.
-
Before the initial session I will send you a link to set up your client portal where you can access and fill out paperwork online. In your first session we will review the paperwork, discuss informed consent, and answer any questions you may have. We will spend the first few sessions allowing you to share your story, what is bringing you into therapy, and create goals together for treatment.
