FAQ - Therapy in San Diego

We try our best to accommodate everyone’s needs. We currently offer sessions at our office in La Jolla, outdoors at the bay in Pacific Beach, and via Telehealth.

A therapy session lasts 50 minutes and typically takes place on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The length of treatment will vary for each person depending on their needs. You and your therapist will have several open conversations about your progress and goals.

Absolutely! After conducting an initial assessment, we can provide trans/non binary/non conforming folx with a letter for hormones/surgery/gender marker change/procedures/name change and more potentially life saving care.

We are an out-of-network provider with all major insurance plans except Aetna and the Lyra Health EAP.

For clients who use out-of-network insurance benefits, we offer two options: you can submit a superbill directly to insurance for reimbursement, or you may use a copay option through a service called Thrizer.

With the copay option, you pay only your estimated copay at the time of session. The remaining fee is covered upfront, and reimbursement is handled directly with your insurance company on your behalf. If paying the full session fee upfront feels like a stretch, this can be a helpful alternative.

Yes. We accept FSA/HSA cards directly or can provide you with a super bill of services to submit as a receipt to your HSA/FSA account to receive reimbursement.

Our individual rate is $200 per 50 minute session. In order to do our part in giving everyone an opportunity to receive therapy, we reserve a few limited spots for sliding scale clients. If interested, please contact us directly to discuss a fair reduced rate.

We strive to be as flexible as possible while taking into consideration that last minute cancellations or no-shows prevent our therapists from meeting with other potential clients. We are happy to reschedule your appointment within 36 hours of your scheduled session free of charge. Otherwise, you will be charged the full session price.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the No Suprises Act, health care providers need to give individuals who do not have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency health care services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
