Santa Cruz Therapy — Office Hours & Fees

Teleheath

I am currently providing telehealth services only to clients residing anywhere in California.

My Santa Cruz therapy office is a comfortable sanctuary conveniently located in the heart of downtown. There is easily accessed parking nearby and the building is wheelchair accessible.

Office Hours

Morning, afternoon and early evening counseling and therapy appointments are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays. Contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation at either (831) 426-4800 or schedule an appointment.

Fees

Fees are $190 for individuals, $225 for couples and families. Most sessions are 50 minutes, though couples and families are sometimes seen for 75 minutes at a rate of $300. You may pay for your seasons by cash, check, credit card, or PayPal. I request payment at the beginning of your session to avoid distractions before you leave. A $15 billing fee is added if clients have to be billed following a session. There is a $25 charge for returned checks.

Insurance

I am an out of network provider for all insurance companies. Clients wanting to use any insurance coverage are asked to pay for sessions as they are provided and then may request a statement at the end of each month that allows them to seek reimbursement through their insurance company at their specific “out of plan provider” rates. I cannot guarantee reimbursement. Check with your health plan regarding your specific “out of network provider coverage” and if a doctor’s referral may be necessary for reimbursement.

Cancellations

I require a minimum of 24 hours notice by phone or voicemail message for cancellations. If you call within less than 24 hours to cancel or reschedule, or if you miss or forget your appointment, you will be charged the full fee.
