GETTING STARTED

TAKING THE FIRST STEP

Taking the first step is often the hardest part to do when you are considering making a change. Once you reach out and schedule a 15 minute no-fee phone consultation, we will decide if working together would be a good fit.

INSURANCE

Currently I am not on any insurance panels but I am able to provide you with information needed that can be submitted to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

SESSION LENGTH

Individual sessions typically run 45 minutes. The first session however may be 60-90 minutes in order to gather history, answer questions, and find our direction to move forward. Couples and family sessions can be scheduled for 45 to 90 minute sessions, depending on the need. The length of time in treatment can vary, depending on your goals, motivation, and needs.

TELEPHONE AVAILABILITY AND EMERGENCIES

Since I am often in session with individuals, I am able to respond to calls within 24-48 hours during regular business hours (Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 5 pm PST). In case of emergencies, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. If you are not in immediate danger but need to speak to someone urgently, please contact the 24-Hour Lifeline at 800.273.8255 or text HOME to the Crisis Text Line at 741741.
