Rates

$150 per 50 minute session.

I offer sliding scale fee options to ensure that you can access the care you need. If you’re interested in working with me but have concerns about cost, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to discuss options and work with you to make therapy more affordable.

Services Offered

Individual psychotherapy sessions are 50 minutes long and available to adults, ages 18 and older.

In-person sessions are held in a private office in the Village of Arroyo Grande. Free street parking and a parking lot are available for your convenience.

Online sessions are offered to California residents, especially those with busy schedules or living outside of San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara Counties.

Insurance and Payment

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I do not bill insurance directly. I accept all major credit cards, as well as cash or check for payment.

Benefits of Private Pay

Choosing private pay allows me to offer the highest quality of care without restrictions on the type, frequency, or duration of your therapy sessions. Insurance companies require therapists to provide a diagnosis and detailed documentation of your therapy, which becomes part of your permanent health record.

By not using insurance, you ensure that your therapy remains confidential and individualized. Insurance companies will not have access to your records, and no diagnosis will be placed in your permanent medical file.

What if I want to use my out-of-network benefits?

I can provide you with a superbill (a receipt) each month. If you have a PPO insurance plan, you may submit the superbill to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Please note, using out-of-network benefits requires me to provide a mental health diagnosis, which will be included in your permanent medical record. I’m happy to discuss the diagnosis with you and answer any questions.

I recommend reaching out to your insurance company before scheduling to inquire about your benefits and whether you have a deductible to meet before therapy sessions will be covered.
