FAQ’s

I currently accept Aetna and can bill Aetna directly for eligible services.

If you have a different insurance plan, I am considered an out-of-network provider. I do not bill out-of-network insurance directly, but I’m happy to provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Because every plan is different, I recommend checking your out-of-network mental health benefits before we begin. You can contact your insurance directly or use this benefits checker:

Individual therapy is $180 for 50-minute sessions. Longer sessions may be accommodated. I offer a 15-minute phone consultation before we begin so we can discuss fit, logistics, and any questions you have,

Yes, I do. Reduced rates are on a limited basis. Please note that these spots are limited and fill up quickly.

I am committed to offering accessible care follow the Alexis J. Cunningham’s “Green Bottle” sliding scale model.

My office is located in Eagle Rock in Northeast Los Angeles, serving the surrounding areas including Pasadena, South Pasadena, Highland Park, Silverlake, Atwater Village, Echo Park, Glendale, Burbank, and greater LA. I also offer telehealth sessions to all California residents.

You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who 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 healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, or 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.
