Cancellation Policy
Your session time is reserved specifically for you every week/bi-weekly/month per our agreement. Please let me know 48 hours in advance if you are unable to attend the next session. If you miss or cancel an appointment with less than 48 hours’ notice, you will be expected to pay: 1) the full session fee for that scheduled appointment (with the exception of unforeseen emergency or illness, as waiver of fee may apply). If possible, I will try to find another time to reschedule the appointment.
Payment
For ease of payment, I accept all major credit cards, including Health Savings Account Bank Debit Cards as forms of payment. The session fee will charged to your card at the conclusion of each session.
Insurance Accepted:
- Aetna (CA and NC)
- BlueShield of CA

If I am not in in-network with your insurance plan, you would have to pay for sessions upfront and I would provide you with a “superbill” or detailed receipt of services to submit to your insurance. Please contact your insurance company to verify out-of-network coverage for mental health services and if you are eligible to submit a claim for reimbursement.
Good Faith Estimate for Health Care Services Notice
Your Client Rights:
• As of 1 January, 2022, Under the “No Surprise Act”, all heath care providers and facilities must provide clients who are uninsured, or self-pay, or do not plan to use or file a claim with your health insurance plan for health services sought, with a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges for any scheduled or requested non-emergency health care services, including psychological/psychotherapy services, prior to providing services or upon request.
• You have the right to request and receive a “Good Faith Estimate” verbally and in writing upon request or at the time of scheduling health care services.
• A “Good Faith Estimate” should include expected fees for the primary services you are scheduled to receive, and any other services provide as part of the same scheduled appointment. It does not include any unanticipated additional services that may arise during your appointment or course of treatment.
• If during the course of treatment your needs change, and/or additional services are needed as part of the treatment, you have a right to a new, updated “Good Faith Estimate” to reflect these new treatment changes and/or services, and the accompanying costs.
• You have the right to engage in a “patient-provider dispute resolution” process if the actual costs of services significantly exceed the charges listed in the “Good Faith Estimate” you received, by at least $400 or more.
• You have a right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” every 12 months, to cover the next 12 months of planned or potential services expected to be provided.
• The Federal regulation does not have any provisions for individuals to waive their right to a “Good Faith Estimate” and does not allow providers to bypass providing a “Good Faith Estimate” based on a client waiver.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the No Surprises Help Desk at (800) 985-3059.
