How do I know if we will work well together?

This is a common question that many clients have. I offer a FREE 15-minute consultation where we can meet over zoom. It is a brief amount of time but you can learn about how I practice and I can answer any questions you have about starting therapy. If you are interested in scheduling a free consult then click here.

Do you work with clients bi-weekly?

I prefer to not work with new clients bi-weekly, mainly because of consistency. In therapy, you are sharing your story -your experiences, your feelings, and more. Consistency gets you to a place where we can track your narrative and start to identify patterns that you may want to address in your treatment goals. Usually, after 4 to 12 sessions we can discuss if bi-weekly sessions are a good option for your goals in therapy. *If you are experienced with therapy and feel bi-weekly could work for your situation, please email me for a free consultation to discuss.

I have my own therapist, do you provide coaching?

Yes, I work with a number of clients nationally and globally who wish to create an ancestral practice to supplement their wellness plan. Please contact me for further details.

I do not live in California or New Mexico, do you accept out-of-state/out-of-the-country clients?

I am only licensed to practice psychotherapy with clients residing in California and New Mexico. Please google “therapy directories” for a list of therapists in your area.

This is my first time trying therapy. What do I need to know?

So glad you are taking your first step to start therapy! Here are some good things to know about the operation of therapy:

Therapy is confidential with some exceptions

• harm to yourself or others

• knowledge of child, elder, or dependent adult abuse

• judge’s court order

*You will receive a form called Informed consent that outlines this in detail. We will also review this form in your first session.

• The therapy hour is 50 minutes which is a standard practice among therapists. It allows us to transition between clients. This can be extended as needed.

• Your payment for therapy is processed before your session.

What are your fees? Do you take insurance?

My fee per session/weekly is $200 for individuals and $250 for couples, $300 for family therapy. Group fees are unique to each group and range from $65-$95+/week. I do NOT accept insurance but I can provide you with a receipt of your sessions that you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. Some HSA/FSA accounts will allow you to use the account for payment. Please check with your human resource and insurance carrier for details.

*Please note: I do not take Medi-cal in any state.

I also take the Care Credit credit card which offers deferred interest if paid in full by the end of the promotional period. Please ask me for further details.

I do have limited lower fee slots based on economic needs. Contact me to be added to the waitlist.

*I prefer to see new clients weekly.
