Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy in Los Angeles

Sessions typically last 50 minutes.

In our first session together, I will do an intake asking you various questions about your past and present lifestyle. We will also discuss your goals for therapy.

Counseling is a way to become more self-aware and learn ways to cope with life’s stressors. When looking for a therapist, it is always advised that you consult with a few different counselors to make sure you feel comfortable with whomever you select. The rapport you build with your therapist is extremely important. You should feel safe and secure enough to share, without feeling judged.

I see clients once per week. If you are going through a difficult time, we can discuss the possibility of twice per week on a temporary basis.

The average length of therapy varies based on your presenting issues and what you would like to work through. This is something we will discuss in our first session to get a better idea of what will be most ideal for you, but typically therapy lasts around 6 - 8 months.

Sessions cost $200 per 50 minute session. I also offer sliding scale slots to some individuals based on need. Please ask me about this if you are struggling with finances.

I am an out-of-network therapist with most insurance carriers. You would need to reach out to your insurance in advance to inquire how much they cover for an out-of-network therapist. If you are unfamiliar with this process, I am happy to discuss with you what questions you might ask your insurance carrier.

I provide a special receipt that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. I always advise you check in with your insurance company before we begin our work together, to see what they cover for mental health services.

I do not currently offer appointments on the weekends. I do offer evening appointments on weekdays.

Clients see me virtually, via the secured HIPAA compliant platform Zoom.

I work with young women in their 20s and 30s who are struggling with multiple issues including, but not limited to: anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, stress, life transitions, codependency, low self-esteem, and many other presenting problems. Call or email today to inquire further about why you’re seeking therapy and whether we would be a good fit. The goal of our consultation is to make sure I can help you, and if not, I can direct you to the right therapist.

If you feel that therapy is not helping you, that is something that needs to be brought to your therapist’s attention so you can discuss goals and alternative options, if needed or desired.
