Questions?

Starting therapy can come with a lot of questions. Here you’ll find practical information about sessions, fees, and what to expect when we work together.

If there’s something else you’d like to ask, or you’d like to see whether we’re a good fit, contact me to schedule a free consultation.

  • I offer in-person therapy in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and West Los Angeles, as well as online therapy for adults throughout California.

  • We meet through a secure video platform. You’ll need a reliable internet connection and a private space where you feel comfortable talking. You must be physically located in California during our sessions.

  • Yes, I offer in-person sessions in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and West Los Angeles. During our consultation, we can discuss your preferred location and available appointment times.

  • Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes. My fee is $225 for online sessions and $255 for in-person sessions.

    I offer a limited number of reduced-fee appointments, depending on availability. You’re welcome to ask about this during our consultation.

  • We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you’d like support with. I’ll ask about your history and any previous therapy, and you’ll have space to ask questions and get a feel for how I work.

    You don’t need to prepare a perfect explanation. We’ll start wherever you are and begin identifying goals together.

  • The length of therapy depends on your goals, the concerns you’re bringing in, and what you need along the way. We’ll discuss this together and check in regularly about your progress, what’s helping, and whether our approach or session frequency needs to change.

  • I’m an out-of-network provider and don’t bill insurance directly. You pay for sessions at the time of service, and I can provide a superbill, an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

    Reimbursement depends on your plan and isn’t guaranteed. Before starting, I recommend asking your insurer about your out-of-network mental health benefits, deductible, and whether services provided by a supervised Associate Marriage and Family Therapist are eligible.

  • As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), I’ve completed my master’s degree and am gaining supervised clinical experience toward independent licensure. I provide therapy while receiving ongoing supervision, which gives me additional guidance and support in my work with clients.

    I’m registered in California as AMFT #138449 and employed by The Feeling Space, where I practice under the supervision of Lisa Jellison, LMFT #46430.
