Using insurance? Here is how it works



We are an out-of-network, private-pay practice. If you have a PPO plan, we provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance carrier for partial reimbursement, typically 50 to 80% depending on your plan, once you meet your annual out-of-network deductible.

HMO, Medi-Cal and Medicare plans generally do not reimburse for out-of-network care.

Not sure what your plan covers? Call your carrier and ask about "out-of-network mental health coverage," or we can call on your behalf. See the full insurance answer below.

Why we publish our rates

Individual sessions cost $225 to $295, 90-minute skills groups cost $110, and phone coaching is included at no extra charge for individual therapy clients. We publish these numbers because choosing a therapist is hard enough without also having to guess what it costs.

How is your fee determined
Your rate depends on the clinician you are paired with, based on their experience and license level. The initial evaluation is billed separately.
Other information to note
Because we are out-of-network, PPO clients often lower their real cost through partial reimbursement. See "Using insurance? Here is how it works" above for details.
