Therapy FAQ
Therapy
Q: Who do you work with?
A: I work with adults, children and families, perinatal clients, individuals with neurodevelopmental differences, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I have a particular clinical focus on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Each client receives care tailored to their unique goals, strengths, and challenges.
Q: What is your therapeutic approach?
A: I provide psychotherapy grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. My approach integrates evidence-based strategies with a focus on insight, practical skill-building, and alignment with client values.
Q: Which evidence-based therapies do you use?
A: I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.
Q: How long do therapy sessions typically last?
A: Sessions are approximately 50-55 minutes.
Q: How do you track progress in therapy?
A: I use measurement-based care, including validated brief assessments to track symptoms, functioning, and goals over time. We review this data together to collaboratively guide your treatment and ensure its effectiveness.
Q: Do you offer telehealth sessions, in-person sessions, or both?
A: I offer remote sessions throughout California, with limited in-person availability in Los Angeles.
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: No. I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance companies directly. I can provide a superbill (a detailed receipt of services) that clients can submit to their insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Q: What is your rate?
A: My rate is $325 per session. I also offer sliding scale based on need to a limited number of clients.
Q: What should I expect in my first session?
A: The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another as well as discuss your goals, history, and current challenges. We’ll explore your needs, discuss any questions you may have about therapy or my approach, and begin collaboratively designing a treatment approach that is right for you.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: I have a 24 hours’ notice policy for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid fees.
Q: Do you provide services to clients outside California?
A: I am licensed in California and only provide services to clients within the state of California.
