Sessions run about 55 minutes and are offered in person or by telehealth (via video or phone) throughout California. Most clients meet with me on a weekly basis.

For in-person sessions, I am currently meeting with clients on Mondays at 2000 Hearst St, Suite 201, Berkeley CA 94709, which is ADA accessible and close to many forms of public transportation and parking.

For private pay, please inquire about my fees. For insurance, I accept traditional Medicare (but not Medicare Advantage). For all other kinds of insurance, I am an out-of-network provider.

If you have a PPO insurance plan, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for therapy sessions. I can provide you with a monthly superbill, which is a detailed receipt that includes the information many insurance companies require for out-of-network reimbursement. You may also be able to use pre-tax funds from a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for psychotherapy.

Because every insurance plan is different, I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to ask about your out-of-network mental or behavioral health benefits. Helpful questions to ask include:

• Does my plan cover outpatient psychotherapy?

• Does my plan reimburse for out-of-network providers?

• What percentage or amount is reimbursed per session?

• Do I need to meet a deductible before reimbursement begins?

• Is there a limit on the number of sessions covered?

• Is prior authorization required?

• What information do I need to submit for reimbursement?

For private pay clients, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
