Question 1

How much will I invest in therapy?

Accepted Answer

I ask that everyone start with weekly sessions because that's what's proven to work, and in my experience it's the best way to figure out what works best for you.
Routine sessions (open-ended) at 50 minutes: $230
Routine sessions (short-term 4-12 sessions) at 60 minutes: $250
One-time Intake session at 60 minutes: $250

Question 2

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

I am an out-of-network provider, which means that I am not in-network with any insurances, but that you may be eligible receive some reimbursement. Typically, an HMO does not offer this, but a PPO is likely to. Here is a great guide to understanding your benefits. (https://blog.zencare.co/guide-to-out-of-network-benefits/)
You can also use that FSA/HSA money!

I have a hybrid in-person and remote teletherapy practice, which means I see clients in-person in Redwood City, CA or online using a secure platform. I can reach you wherever you are in California, and many of my clients find it convenient to meet with me in a private space at work, in their car, or anywhere with privacy and good internet connection/cell service.
My office address is 611 Veterans Blvd., Suite 203, Redwood City, CA 94063. I have in-person appointments on Tuesdays.
