Insurance

I am not contracted with any insurance companies, however many insurance companies reimburse in cases of out of network clinicians. I will provide a billing statement to submit for reimbursement. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance.  Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

• Do I have mental health benefits?
• What is my deductible and has it been met?
• How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
• How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

Payment

Cash or checks are accepted for payment at the time of service.  I will provide you with a monthly statement to submit to your insurance company or third party of your choice for reimbursement to you.

Hours

Regular week day hours are Monday through Thursday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm PST. 

WEEKENDS:  I am not in the office Friday through Sunday.   I will respond to your email and/or phone call when I return to the  office.  If you are experiencing a life threatening emergency, please  call 911 immediately. 

NOTE TO NEW CLIENTS:  If you are a new client seeking therapy, my policy is to return all new client emails/phone calls within 48 hours.   If you are a new client seeking therapy and are currently in crisis or  experiencing a life threatening emergency, please call 911 immediately.    

Cancellation Policy

I request a 24- hour business day notice of cancellation. You will be charged the full fee for late cancellations or missed appointments. 

Confidentiality

In general, the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and psychotherapist. No information is disclosed without prior written permission from the client. However, there are some exceptions required by law to this rule. Exceptions include:

• Suspected child abuse, dependant adult or elder abuse. The therapist is required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
• If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person. The therapist is required to notify the police.
• If a client intends to harm himself or herself. The therapist will make every effort to work with the individual to ensure their safety.
