What's the process for starting counseling?
Making the decision to seek support can be a big one. I want to make the process as easy as possible.
You can call me at 949-648-7991 and leave your name, number, and some good times to reach you. I will call you back (usually within 24 hours, if not sooner) for your 15-minute no-cost phone consultation. This will be the time for you to ask questions and briefly discuss what it is you'd like to address in therapy. If we feel that we might work well together, we will schedule your first appointment.
Some people prefer email or text. That's fine, too. My email address is YourOCTherapist@gmail.com.
What is your fee?
My fee is $215 for a 50-minute session. You may pay by check, cash, HSA card or credit card.
How often will we meet?
Your session will be reserved for you at the same time every week, unless otherwise arranged. I have daytime, weekday appointments available.
Do you take insurance?
I do not take insurance, but can provide you with a superbill/receipt to submit to your insurance company. As insurance companies differ in their policies, please verify your plan's mental health benefits for out-of-network mental health providers. Please note that some clients choose to pay privately as insurance providers require a mental health diagnosis for your records and may limit your number of sessions.
You have a right to receive a Good Faith Estimate.
What if I have to miss an appointment?
Please contact me in advance should you find yourself unable to attend your session. If the session is not canceled with at least 24 hours notice, you will be responsible for the full session fee.
Are there any forms to fill out?
Yes, there are forms for new clients to fill out. I will send you a link to access the client portal so that you may complete the forms online.
