Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact you?
Use the form under “Contact” and I will be in touch to schedule a 15 minute phone consultation. If after our consultation, we find we are a good fit, I can send you intake paperwork to get your consent for treatment as well as a general knowledge of you and your reasons for seeking therapy.
Is there a reason you would not see me as a client?
There are a few reasons why I might not see a particular client. It is important to me that each person gets the help they need. If I feel you would be better served by a specialist, I am ethically obligated to share that with you. If this is the case, I am happy to connect you to more appropriate treatment. If I feel I am unable to work with you from an unbiased place because of continued behavior that threatens the professional boundaries of the therapeutic relationship, I won’t hesitate to recommend another therapist and terminate our working relationship. If there is a conflict of interest, such as a dual relationship (I know you or someone very close to you from outside of this space), it is my ethical duty to refer you to another therapist.
What is the duration and frequency of therapy?
Each session for individuals and couples is 50 minutes long. Sessions are weekly. I may suggest and am open to longer sessions for couples work.
How much do you charge?
50 minute sessions are billed at $175 for individuals and $195 for couples. I have some sliding scale spots for lower income individuals. Most clients pay via credit/debit card. Payments are run EOD on the day of your session. Cash or check are also acceptable payment methods. Your initial 15 minute phone consultation is free.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance but can provide a monthly superbill as an out-of-network, pre-licensed associate. Please check with your insurance company to verify your coverage.
Are you seeing people in person or over video?
I’m currently meeting clients in person in my Silverlake office as well as online via HIPAA compliant teletherapy. Group therapy is offered both online and in Echo Park.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please notify me 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged in full for your session.
