Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask some questions to understand what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and how you’ve been coping. Whether that’s anxiety, stress, life transitions, or something else, you don’t need to have all the answers — just come as you are.
-
Sessions are typically once a week and last 50 minutes. However, we can discuss a frequency that feels right for you based on your needs and goals.
-
Yes, I offer secure online therapy sessions for clients throughout California. Whether you’re in Carlsbad, San Diego, or elsewhere in the state, Telehealth counseling allows you to get support from the comfort of your own space.
-
I’m currently in-network with several insurance providers. If I’m not in-network with your insurance, I’m happy to provide a superbill — a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Every plan is different, so I recommend checking with your provider to see what’s covered.
-
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee.
If you have any questions about payment or insurance, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to help clarify what’s possible.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the law, health care providers are required to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of therapy services. This includes the cost of individual therapy sessions and any related services. A typical therapy session is 50 minutes and costs $180. The number of sessions will vary based on your needs and preferences. While some clients attend for just a few months, others continue longer for ongoing support. You’ll receive a written estimate before services begin, and we can revisit it at any time. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the charge.
