Streamlined Online Payments: To ensure a seamless therapy experience, clients receiving more than one session are required to place a credit or debit card on file for automatic payments after each session – this ensures no interruption to your therapy journey. Should you need to change your payment method, simply notify us, and we’ll update your details accordingly.

Appointment-Only Sessions: All sessions must be booked in advance.

Duration & Customization: Standard sessions last 50 minutes. For those seeking rapid relief or intensive therapy, we offer extended or more frequent sessions. Contact us to customize your therapy experience.

Pricing for Extended Sessions: Longer sessions are available and are charged at a prorated rate according to our standard fees.

Insurance | California Residents Only

We understand how complex insurance company’s policies can be, so it is important to us to make it as simple and easy as possible.  We provide support and work directly with your insurance, both in and out-of-network.

We currently are in-network with Aetna and Optum – this is subject to change. To determine if you have mental health coverage through your insurance carrier, please contact us and we will verify with your insurance.

We have partnered with Mentaya to help you save money on therapy. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will handle everything with insurance to ensure you get your money back. They charge $5 or a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year.

It’s EASY. You can sign up here:

You are welcome to file your own claims! We can provide an invoice (a Superbill) at the end of each session/month that you can submit to your health insurance for reimbursement! We provide out-of-network coverage for most major insurances. Some major PPO insurances include BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELDCIGNA, and UNITED HEALTHCARE.

Many people are unaware they have “out-of-network” benefits included in their benefit plan.

Please note: Insurance – both in-network and out-of-network – is for therapy services in California ONLY. Additionally, to qualify for reimbursement, insurance companies require that a therapist provide a diagnosis for the patient that gets documented on the invoice/superbill. Without a documented and confirmed diagnosis, your services are not eligible for reimbursement. Your presenting issue must meet certain criteria to qualify for a diagnosis and, thus, qualify for possible reimbursement. If your presenting issue does not meet the criteria for a diagnosis, you will not receive one, which may impact your eligibility for reimbursement. Please contact your insurance provider for information about out-of-network benefits and reimbursement.

YOUR RIGHT TO A GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
  • Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your provider 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.
