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?

Yes, however I prefer to work with new clients weekly, mainly because of consistency in building the therapeutic relationship. 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 8 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. I do offer in-person intensives and therapeutic retreats for clients in New Mexico.

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 $225 for individuals, $275 for couples/families.

Bi-weekly client fees increase to $300 for individuals and $325 for couples/families. Group fees vary by group and range from $75+/week.

I also offer custom sessions that include intensives and therapeutic retreats —all of which provide alternatives for clients who would rather fit therapy into their lifestyle and schedule. Please contact me for details.

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 allow you to use them for payment. Please check with your human resources and insurance carrier for details.

*Please note: I do not take Medicaid 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 low-fee slots based on economic need. Contact me to be added to the waitlist.
