Frequently Asked Questions
What are your fees?
The cost depends on the service provided and length of the session. For Families, Couples, and forensic work, the fee is $300 per 50 minute session. For individual psychotherapy, the fee is $250 per 50 minute session. Longer sessions, when needed and agreed to, are prorated at the rates above.
Do you accept insurance?
For Family and Couples work, I accept Lyra insurance and will bill Lyra directly. For all other insurance providers, I can provide you with a super bill and receipt that you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement if you have out of network benefits.
What should I expect in a first session?
For Family and Couple clients, we typically meet together first to discuss goals and fit. We then we meet separately, one on one, for one session so that I can get to know each member of the family/couple and begin to better understand the system dynamics. After these one on ones, we come back together to begin the real work of therapy.
Do you provide in person treatment?
Yes, I have an office in Oakland’s Rockridge District across from Rockridge BART. I also see clients via a secure Telehealth platform. The choice of zoom v. in person is up to the client.
