FAQs:
Are you accepting new clients?
I hope to be accepting clients in SF by early Spring 2025.
What is your fee?
My fee is ——- for a 50-minute session. Unlike other therapists who see clients back-to-back, I see a smaller number of humans so that I am not at risk for burnout. Thus, I believe you receive higher quality therapy. I also spend a lot of time outside of session in continuing education, consultation with other providers, practice administration, and research for your specific needs. So, your fee covers “unpaid” external hours dedicated to providing you with ethical, thoughtful, up-to-date practices.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept Medicaid and I do not work directly with insurance providers. However, you can check with your insurance about “out-of-network providers.” I can provide a Superbill that you submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement for any amount covered *if* your insurance covers this treatment out-of-network.
What is 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 (“No Surprises Act”), health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services when the estimate is requested. Additional details:
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
Make sure your health care 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 health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
