Are You Ready to Invest in yourself?

Emeryville waterfront office
Therapy is an investment in yourself - in your future growth and peace of mind. While to some, investing in themselves may seem completely obvious, for others it is incredibly challenging. For this reason, there is both a logistical and clinical component of paying for counseling. Conversations about money attitudes and behaviors in therapy can be quite illuminating.

INSURANCE

While I am in-network with Anthem, Aetna, and UC Berkeley's Wellfleet SHIP for a few existing clients, I am currently not accepting new in-network clients. I do not accept other insurance directly, but I am considered an out-of-network provider* if your insurance offers out-of-network mental health benefits. You would need to confirm this directly with your insurance company.

If you pay with a credit or debit card, I can provide a superbill (receipt) that you can submit to your insurer, or to your Healthcare Reimbursement Account (HRA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), though coverage is not guaranteed. I accept most credit cards, as well as FSA and HRA cards, through the HIPAA-compliant service IVY Pay.

Insurance plans typically require a diagnosis for coverage, and the specifics of what is covered depend on your plan. Since I would need to share sensitive information with the insurance company, many clients choose to pay privately or use their FSA/HRA accounts instead.

*Note: This does not apply to Anthem & Aetna.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Fees are due at the time of service, or paid monthly in advance. I accept:

​

  • Debit and most major credit cards

  • HRA & FSA cards

  • Cash (if we're meeting in person)

Good Faith Estimate

Per H.S. 133, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 
 

You have the right to request 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.
