Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, for clients under 18, a parent or legal guardian will need to be available during appointments. This collaborative approach helps us coordinate care effectively and allows for real-time discussion of medication adjustments when needed.

  • I have experience working with both individuals and families. I strongly believe that comprehensive care for a child or teen includes supporting the entire family system. I offer family therapy for patients and families who are motivated to improve communication and relationships.

  • Currently, I only offer virtual appointments for patients located in California. I plan to transition to a blend of in-person and virtual visits in the near future.

  • Yes, I work with divorced families. When custody is shared, I ask that both parents be present or available during sessions to ensure consistent and coordinated care for your child. For the most productive discussions, it's beneficial if parents can align on their child's progress with medication and/or therapy. This allows us to work together effectively to support your child's needs.

  • While I don't currently contract with insurance companies, I can absolutely support you in seeking reimbursement. If you have out-of-network benefits through a PPO or POS plan, I can provide you with a superbill. This is a detailed receipt you can submit directly to your insurer for potential reimbursement for a portion of your session fees.

  • To avoid a cancellation fee, please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. While no-shows and appointments canceled with less notice typically incur the full session fee, a reduced fee will apply for your first instance.

    You may also reschedule your appointment for another available time within the same business week to avoid the cancellation fee.

  • If you're running late, please call me to let me know. If we need to reschedule your follow-up visit (more than halfway through) or initial evaluation (more than 20 minutes late), the full session fee will apply. For your first instance, a reduced missed appointment fee will apply.
