Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy in California
How long do counseling sessions typically last?
50 minutes for Individuals, 90 minutes for couples and families.
What happens during the first counseling session?
Together we will start with going over the informed consent, fee’s, policies, assessment, and treatment planning. This is also a time where we get a chance to connect and start building a trusted therapeutic-relationship.
Where are you located?
I currently do not have a physical location, and only work via Telehealth/Online. This is how I am able to reach and work with clients all throughout the state of California. Engaging in online therapy offers clients a convenient and flexible way of accessing professional support and effective guidance and treatment from the comfort of the environment they choose.
How often will I need to come to counseling?
My suggestion is that you come to counseling 1x/week in order to receive the full benefits of therapy with efficiency. Each session is like a dose of wellness, and with each consistant dose of therapy you will find yourself meeting your goals and using healthier ways to cope. Therapy can take up to 9 months for a client to feel ready to graduate from treatment.
How much do sessions cost?
50-min sessions are $175 and 90-min sessions are $250.
Are sessions covered by my insurance?
I am out-of-network for most PPO plans however I can provide you with a Superbill (Invoice) for you to send to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Do you have evening and weekend appointments available?
I do not offer appointments on the weekends and my last evening appointment during weekdays will be my 6pm slot.
Where do sessions take place?
We can safely use Zoom or Google Meet.
Who do you work with?
For individual work, I prioritize working with women, between the age of 18-50. I also specialize in working with Ethnically and Culturally Diverse women struggling with family issues, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, ptsd, and grief. For couples, I specialize in Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy.
What is your availability?
I see clients Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am and 6pm. Schedule a consultation call with me to see if we can find a convenient time for you to meet with me on a weekly basis.
I know it can feel like a big step to call a counselor, but I’ll make it easy. We’ll spend 15-minutes on the phone and I’ll let you know how or if I can help. If I am not the right person, I’ll do my best to get you to the right person.
