Fees & Common Questions

I am not in-network with insurance plans. Depending on your policy, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurer.

A superbill is a document you can submit to your insurance company when seeking out-of-network reimbursement. It typically includes dates of service, service codes, fees paid, my provider information, and a diagnosis code when applicable. Because a superbill contains clinical information, submitting one means sharing that information with your insurance company.

Contact the member-services number on your insurance card and ask whether you have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits, whether you have an out-of-network deductible and how much has been met, what percentage or amount your plan reimburses after the deductible, and whether there are any authorization requirements.

Your insurer is the best source for confirming your specific benefits and reimbursement. I am happy to clarify questions about the documentation I provide, but I cannot guarantee how an insurance company will process or reimburse a claim.

I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee spaces, and availability changes over time. If the standard fee is not workable, you are welcome to ask whether a reduced-fee opening is currently available.

Individual, couples, and family sessions are 50 minutes. Many clients begin with weekly sessions, particularly when establishing therapy. Frequency is based on your goals, clinical needs, and the nature of our work, and we can revisit it together over time.

I use SimplePractice, a secure client portal, for intake forms, scheduling, billing, receipts, and superbills. A credit or debit card is kept on file and payment is processed after each session. Eligible HSA and FSA cards may also be used.

Receipts, invoices, and superbills are available through the client portal.

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Late cancellations and missed appointments are charged the full session fee because that time has been reserved for you. Exceptions may be made in the case of emergencies, as outlined in my practice policies.

Under the federal No Surprises Act, clients who are uninsured or are not using insurance to pay for care have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges in circumstances specified by law. I provide Good Faith Estimates as required, and you may also request one.

If the amount you are billed is at least $400 more than the amount listed on your Good Faith Estimate, you may be eligible to use the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.

EMDR is a structured approach to processing distressing or traumatic experiences. Before beginning processing, we spend time understanding what you would like to address, assessing readiness, and developing appropriate resources.

During processing, you may focus on aspects of an experience while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or tones. You remain awake and aware throughout the process, and we work collaboratively at a pace that feels clinically appropriate.

Yes. It is common for partners to come to therapy with different levels of comfort or certainty about the process. Both partners do not need to feel exactly the same about therapy to begin; what matters is a willingness to participate in an initial conversation and explore what is happening in the relationship.

Yes. I offer in-person therapy in my Beverly Hills office and telehealth to clients who are physically located in California at the time of their session. EMDR may also be provided via telehealth when clinically appropriate.

Yes. I am currently welcoming new clients for individual, couples, and family therapy, both in my Beverly Hills office and via telehealth throughout California.

The best next step is a brief introductory consultation to discuss what you are looking for, availability, and whether working together may be a good fit.
