Confidentiality
All calls, conversations and written communications between us are completely confidential, unless you give express permission to release that information, or law requires it. Legal / ethical exceptions to confidentiality include suspected abuse, neglect of children or elders, or expressed intent to harm yourself or others.
What is the cost?
The average cost is $130 per session. However, I do offer a sliding scale and will make accommodations whenever possible depending on your income and circumstances.
I do not accept direct insurance at this time. However, insurance companies will typically reimburse part or all of your payment if out of network service is part of your coverage.
How long are sessions?
How long does therapy continue?
Sessions are generally 50 minutes, taking place weekly. In certain circumstances, the time and frequency may be adjusted.
Every person is different, and there is no single answer to the duration of therapy. We will discuss what you seek from therapy and what works best for you individually. You have the right to end our work together at any time.
Location?
Sessions are primarily via telehealth, but in-person sessions in San Francisco may be an option.
