Cancellation Policy
Your appointment time is held for you on a standing weekly basis. Cancellations require a minimum of 48 business hours notice prior to your scheduled session time. If your appointment is not cancelled within the required time period, you will be charged the full session fee.
In the event of an emergency, please call 911 or go to the Emergency Room.
For scheduling issues, you may contact me by phone, text, or email. For clinical questions or concerns, please contact me by phone and we can discuss the matter further in session.
A commitment to attend therapy weekly is necessary to make progress.
Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
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 bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
California Clients & Telehealth
Your Location
I am licensed to practice psychotherapy in California. Due to licensing laws, I am only able to work with clients who are physically present in California at the time of our session. This policy includes existing clients who may be traveling or who move away to attend college.
Telehealth Requirements
I offer secure telehealth sessions via Zoom for clients throughout California. Many clients choose a mix of in-person and virtual sessions.
If you are doing online therapy with me, you will need reliable WiFi, privacy, and to be free from distractions. For safety and privacy purposes, I cannot see clients who are in a moving car or who are in a parked car with others present. Additional telehealth policies will be provided in the onboarding process.
