Where are you located?

I have an office in Pasadena and also provide telehealth to folks anywhere in California.

How long and often are sessions?

Individual psychotherapy sessions are 50 minutes. Sessions typically take place once per week, although this cadence can be adjusted to be more or less frequent depending on your unique needs and treatment plan, which we will determine together following the initial intake and assessment phase (~2-3 sessions).

Do you accept insurance?

I am not paneled as an in-network provider with insurance companies at this time and am considered an out-of-network (OON) provider. If you have OON benefits, I can provide you a Superbill to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse a significant portion of session fees after meeting your out-of-network deductible. The best way to learn about your exact OON coverage is by contacting your insurance company directly. Here is a guide with specific questions you can ask.

What is your fee?

Please contact me to discuss my rates, which are comparable to other psychologists in Los Angeles with similar training and experience. I reserve a small number of sliding scale spots that are intended for individuals with limited resources. Please contact me to ask about eligibility for sliding scale or if you have questions about out-of-network reimbursement.

What should I know about a Good Faith Estimate?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical items and services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. If you are not planning to use insurance to cover any part of your treatment, 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 ask your health care provider 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.
