I am currently available to take on new clients. I offer appointments Monday-Friday, with some evening availability for east-coast clients. Generally, I offer sessions 10 AM to 5 PM PST; 1 PM- 8 PM EST.
-
My current rates are $220 for a 55-minute individual intake or follow-up session and $360 for a 90-minute couples intake.
I am considered an out-of-network provider and many of my clients receive reimbursement for sessions by their insurance company.

I am out-of-network for insurance.
However, I am more than happy to create a superbill for our sessions that you can submit to your insurance company. Typically, clients see reimbursement on their sessions if they a) have out-of-network benefits and b) have met their deductible for those benefits. Check with your insurance company about mental health coverage specifically. Superbills include provider ID information, CPT code, diagnosis code, and other information necessary for you to submit a claim.
