Fees & Policies
SESSION RATES
$190 for a 50-minute individual session
do you offer telehealth SESSIONS?
Yes! I offer telehealth therapy for clients who reside in California and Washington state.
DO YOU OFFER IN-PERSON SESSIONS?
I offer in-person sessions for Ketamine-Assisted Therapy in Oakland only. All individual therapy sessions are conducted via telehealth.
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
Not at the moment. I am an "Out of Network" provider for all PPO insurance plans. In some cases, services may be reimbursed in part by your health insurance plan if you have out of network behavioral health coverage. I can provide you with a “superbill' that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
DO YOU OFFER CONSULTATIONS?
Yes, I offer prospective clients a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit.
DO YOU OFFER SHORT OR LONG-TERM THERAPY?
Therapy is most effective when conducted on an ongoing and consistent basis. I recommend sessions on a bi-monthly or weekly basis. If you are experiencing a crisis, sudden loss, or significant life change, then short-term therapy can be helpful to assist you through a challenging time.
PRE-INTAKE PAPERWORK
After our consult call, you will receive an email with pre-intake paperwork from my online client portal system. This paperwork includes consent forms to read and sign, payment information, and questionnaires about yourself. You must complete this pre-intake paperwork before your first session is scheduled.
Cancelation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, kindly do so by email at least 48 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment. Any appointments that are rescheduled or canceled in less than 48 hours will be charged the full session rate. If you intend to reschedule your appointment, please be aware that I cannot guarantee another available time within the same time slot or within the same week.
The appointment will be considered canceled if a client arrives more than 15 minutes after the scheduled appointment time. Clients will be asked to keep a credit card on file and this will be charged for missed appointments without prior approval. The only late notice cancellation exceptions are for medical or mental health emergencies. Work or travel-related conflicts will not be exceptions to this policy. This policy is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. Fees incurred on same-day cancellations may be waived in the event of an emergency on a case-by-case basis.
If for some reason (due to a personal emergency) I need to cancel our session within 48 hours of our session, then I will give you a cancellation “credit,” meaning you can cancel a future appointment within 48 hours without incurring a fee. I believe in fairness and mutual respect for each other’s valuable time.
