Fees and Forms of Payment

 

All payments are due at the time of session. Payments can be made in multiple ways.I accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, health savings account and credit/debt card. For credit/debit card payments a 4% transaction fee will be added. 

 

 

Non-Diagnostic Counseling

Non-diagnostic counseling is what it sounds like, No Diagnosing. Non-diagnostic counseling is a way of conducting therapy that does not follow the commonly used method of the medical model of first diagnosing a client and then treating the client with the prescribed treatment approach based on that diagnosis as written in the DSM-5 .

Instead, I non-diagnostically relate to clients holistically, understanding that suffering, while serious and painful, need not be understood only in prescribed (and often labeling) ways. You are not a diagnosis. You are a human being, who experiences human stressors and circumstances and reacts or responds to those circumstances in very human ways. I believe that treatment is unique to each client and cannot be found in the pages of a book or handout. 


 Individual Therapy & Couple's Therapy

Sessions are geared towards adult (18+) individuals. 

Couples are generally seen as individuals until enough inner work has been completed to come together as a couple to work on the relationship. This is because each person in the relationship comes into the relationship with their own "stuff" and that "stuff" must be worked on before the relationship can truly be worked on. The first couple's session will be together so we can understand where you are stuck or struggling, then sessions are individual moving forward.

Insurances   

 

***FOR CALIFORNIA THERAPY CLIENTS ONLY***
 

I don't accept insurance, but I work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits,  Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year.  

​

*Please keep in mind that insurance companies require a medical diagnosis and a legal medical file so I will have to provide these to your insurance company in order to be reimbursed. If you do not want to have a diagnosis in your medical documentation, please continue on to private pay options.

Note:  Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and as your therapist I do not benefit in any way from your participation.

 

​

With traditional therapy, there tends to be more of a focus on diagnosis, symptom relief and productive coping techniques to help you. I am also required to keep a permanent legal medical file on our work together. This legal file has the potential to be ordered by the court of law into any legal matter that you may find yourself in, if the court feels that our time together is necessary to examine.  Insurance companies also require a diagnosis in order to pay for or reimburse for psycho-therapeutic sessions. This diagnosis can lead to a number of issues. A diagnosis can be beneficial in terms of insurance coverage, academic or community resources, as well, psychiatric interventions, but having a diagnosis in your permanent legal medical file can also lead to stigma, mis-diagnosis and potential negative view of self.
