What types of Sessions do you offer?

I offer traditional weekly sessions as well as Brainspotting intensives. In addition I coordinate with therapists who don’t specialize in trauma to do adjunct therapy related to their client’s trauma.

Do you take insurance ?

No, I do not accept insurance. All of my services are private pay - with a credit card, FSA, or HSA.

*The only exception is I partner with Lyra Health. Lyra is a benefit that some employers offer to their employees.

Do you offer in person sessions?

I offer both! Sessions can be in person in Montrose, Ca( Los Angeles Area) or online for anyone in California  Many people prefer to meet online from the comfort of their own home.  Others enjoy the connection of being in the same room together.  It depends on your comfort level and what works best for you.

What are your rates?

My practice is unique and I provide highly specialized care for your unique needs, in the safest and most supportive environment. Because of this, my services are private pay (not through your insurance). Instead of paying towards a deductible, you pay the bill directly.

Good Faith Estimate (Posted Per Federal Law)

You may obtain a good faith estimate of our charges upon request prior to scheduling with us.   

The No Surprises Act is a federal law which provides you with the right to a good faith estimate of the cost of services at our practice.  However, Ohio licensing board rules require me to provide you with the actual cost of my charges in a written informed consent form to which you must agree prior to my providing services.  That will be available to you prior to you being seen for services and prior to any billing.  In most cases it is impossible to estimate how many sessions you will need, and that will not be determined until your concerns are evaluated and will also vary based on the progress that you make, which depends in part on your efforts with the process.  You will be free to discontinue services at any time or the services may otherwise be terminated in accordance with the informed consent form language.

Although the No Surprises Law says that you may initiate a dispute process if the actual charges are substantially in excess of the Good Faith Estimated charges, i.e. if you are charged $400 more than the estimated cost for a session or for the total estimate provided, that is unlikely to happen and would be a violation of licensing board rules, since you will be agreeing up front to actual charges per session prior to being seen.  Dispute information is available upon request, however any changes to my fees will require a change in the informed consent form fees, which you must agree to prior to having them go into effect, otherwise the fees will remain in effect for 12 months.
