Initial Phone Consultation

Prior to our first appointment, I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. During this call, we will briefly discuss what brings you to therapy and any questions you may have to help you determine if we are a good match. I will also ask you some questions to make an initial determination about whether I have the appropriate experience and resources to meet your needs.

 

Fees

​

My fees are competitive with other psychotherapists in the Bay Area and will be discussed during our initial phone contact. Payment is taken at the time of service, and I accept cash, check, Visa, and Mastercard . You will not be charged for a missed appointment if you cancel within 48 hours of your scheduled visit.

 

Insurance

​

I do not accept insurance. I recommend that you contact your plan prior to our first session to ask about your psychotherapy benefits, as many health insurance policies provide some coverage for mental health treatment. I am considered an “out-of-network” provider, which means that your insurance company may reimburse you directly for some portion of the fees you have paid to me. Upon request, I can provide you with a monthly statement that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
