I believe that everyone should have access to quality mental health care regardless of ability to pay. I take some clients through Open Path Psychotherapy Collective when possible. In cases where you do not qualify for Open Path, but my standard fee is out of range, I am generally able to offer a sliding scale. Just ask if you think we are a great client-therapist fit but you need special accommodations.

I accept credit cards via Stripe, IvyPay, Venmo, or Paypal, payable at the time of service. All services are non-refundable.

Insurance

Beginning in 2023, I can take clients with insurance provided by Aetna, Kaiser NorCal, or Optum through Grow

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel a session, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. For example, an appointment for Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. should be canceled no later than Monday at 1:00 p.m. Cancellations within 24 hours will be charged a $75 fee. I require a credit card to be kept on file, and reserve the right to charge it without notice, in the event of cancellations.

Good Faith Estimate

In accordance with the No Surprises Act effective January 1, 2022, private pay clients have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much their medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
