Questions about my psychotherapy work?

Welcome! I hope to answer a few questions you might have about becoming a client in my psychotherapy practice. If not, please feel free to contact me.

Where are you located?
2173 Francisco Blvd. East, Suite F
San Rafael, Ca 94901
My office is located in Bay Park Center

What are your hours?
Tuesday – Friday, during business hours with some evening times available. I make every effort to find a workable time for us both to meet.

Do you take insurance?
I am an out of network provider for most insurance companies. Payment is due at the time of our visits unless otherwise arranged. I provide billing statements on a monthly basis if you are in need of reimbursement of fees through insurance.

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

What is my deductible and has it been met?

How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

Is approval required from my primary care physician?

What is your fee?
$150.00 per 50 minute session. Reduced fee services are available on a limited basis.

Payment
Cash, check, Credit Card and PayPal.

Cancellation Policy
Because psychotherapy requires a serious commitment of time and effort, the need for consistency and attention to your personal process cannot be underestimated. With this in mind, I require payment for all appointments. If you cannot attend your regularly scheduled therapy appointment, due to an emergency, I will reschedule your visit close to your original time.

How long will I be in therapy?
This depends on your goals: Therapy can be brief to resolve a specific issue or longer term to address long standing unfulfilling patterns and challenges.

At the outset of therapy you decide what you want to focus on and we will frequently check-in regarding your goals. In the course of therapy, new goals and desires may enter the picture.

Do I have to make art?
Creative expression is a powerful way to express feelings, sort through issues and gain insight. Giving form either in session or at home to your experience is encouraged, but not required.

How do I get started?
