I work with therapy clients in California, Utah, and Florida. Therapists are only allowed by law to work with residents of states we are licensed in.
Therapy must be provided by a licensed mental health provider who is using evidence based clinical practices to help someone with mental health and psychological struggles and needs. There is some area of their life that is being impaired due to these struggles.
Coaching is not therapy. Coaching is skills based, targeted behavioral changes. The coaching client is overall doing well in their life and doesn’t have a mental health condition impairing their needs and daily life. Coaching may be for you if you want to work on specific goals that
are not related to mental health diagnoses. Such as dating goals, losing weight, career changes, or life transition struggles. Coaching can be anywhere in the world.
During your intro call you may ask if you would be a fit for coaching vs therapy.
Please inquire regarding what insurance panels I may be participating in. My participation in plans may be subject to change. Paying-out-of-pocket is a great option for people who want maximum privacy, confidentiality, and flexibility. Billing to insurance, when available, requires additional disclosure to your insurance for billing purposes.
Sunshine Wellness Clinic INC acupuncture services are able to bill many insurances for their acupuncture services. Please reach out to them for details. www.sunshineacupuncture.org
In some cases you may be eligible to use out-of-network insurance benefits. You will be responsible for paying for each session in full at time of appointment. If appropriate, I will provide a super bill each month that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
If you have out-of-network benefits, they typically will reimburse you for 60-80% of the cost of each session.
It’s always a good idea to call the number on the back of your health insurance card listed under Member Services.
You can ask them the following questions:
Cost:
Therapy (Individual) - $150
Therapy (Couples) - $220
Coaching- Dependent on scale of services, inquire with contact form for information.
I reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots in my schedule. If you do not think you can afford my full fee, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
As a Therapist, I have a collaborative, non-judgmental, and relatable approach that will make getting started a bit easier. During our first session or two, I’ll ask you a bunch of questions to get a better picture of you and your life. I will listen to you without judgment. We will come up with goals together of what you hope to accomplish in therapy.
During therapy we will work together to help you better understand yourself. You will gain perspective, new insights, learn to challenge your negative thoughts, receive feedback, and develop new coping skills. Sometimes therapy can be really hard, creating the changes you’ve been wanting for yourself isn’t easy. But I’m here to help support you throughout the process, helping you achieve the change and growth you are looking for.
I meet with the majority of my clients on a weekly basis. I recommend that all new clients commit to meeting weekly, for usually the first month to 6 weeks. This will allow us to build rapport and the therapeutic relationship so you can start seeing progress right away.
Ongoing assessment of clinical needs occurs throughout therapy, and I may recommend increasing or decreasing dependent on your needs.
