THERAPY FEES & SERVICES

I am an out-of-network provider, which means that I am cash pay only and I do not accept any insurance.
If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network benefits, I can provide you with a super bill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. I cannot guarantee that you will be reimbursed, as this depends on several factors including but not limited to your insurance provider and your plan coverage.

Please contact your insurance provider directly for detailed information about your benefits. Below are questions that may be helpful to ask.

• What are my out-of-network benefits for mental health services?

• What is my deductible for out-of-network mental health services?

• What percentage is my reimbursement rate for out-of-network mental health services?

I do offer a limited number of reduced fee slots!

**My reduced fee slots are full at this time.

I offer both in-person and virtual therapy session options. My in-person therapy sessions are available in Mission Viejo, conveniently located off of the 5 fwy.

My virtual therapy sessions are offered throughout the states of California, Massachusetts, and Ohio.

You are not required to reside in Orange County for us to work together. I am licensed to provide therapy throughout California, Massachusetts, and Ohio. If you reside anywhere within these three states, we can work together!

Generally, I meet with clients on a weekly basis. This is helpful for consistency purposes and I have found it to provide space for deeper healing. Once clients feel better, session frequency can be reduced to a bi-weekly basis. Session frequency varies based on support needs.

Absolutely! While I do specialize in trauma and eating disorders, I have extensive experience supporting clients with other life challenges as well. Some examples may include but are not limited to life transitions, grief, difficulty with setting boundaries, and negative self talk. I’m happy to have a consultation call with you to learn more about what you’re needing. If I determine that I don’t have the experience you’re needing, I’ll provide referrals to get you the right support.

This depends on each state where each family member is located. I’m licensed in California, Massachusetts, and Ohio. I can help, so long as everyone resides within the three states in which I’m licensed to practice.

As long as both of you are located within a state in which I’m licensed to practice, I can help. I’m currently licensed in California, Massachusetts, and Ohio.

Notice of Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of your healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your healthcare needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate is created.

The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during the course of care. You could be charged more if special circumstances occur. In non-emergency circumstances, you will be provided with an updated Good Faith Estimate for any new expected charges.

If you are billed for more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill under federal law. Specifically, if you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

You may contact the healthcare provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.

You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date of the original bill.

There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on the Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the healthcare provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.

To learn more or to get a form to start the dispute resolution process, go to www.cms.gov/nosuprises or call HHS’ toll free number: 1-877-696-6775.

Make sure to keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate in a safe place or take pictures of it. You may need it if you are billed a higher amount.
