earth growth I work with a range of clients that present a variety of unique circumstances. However, there is a common thread, they are not reaching their full potential.

During our initial meeting we will discuss your specific areas of concern as well as assess if we are the right client/therapist fit. From here, we will be able to create your personalize treatment plan and discuss how it can best work into your day-to-day life.

Rates & Insurance

Rates:

  • Average Session Fee: $160 for Individuals. $185 for Couples. Sessions are 50 Minutes. Extended sessions are available upon request and will incur an additional charge.

Insurance:

  • Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP)
  • For Out of Network (OON) Clients – check with your insurance. Most PPO plans can reimburse you to see a provider like myself.

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Coverage Parity laws require most health plans to apply similar rules to mental health benefits as they do for medical/surgical benefits. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions of your insurance provider:

  • Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?
  • Do you reimburse for couples therapy? (Couples Only)

Why I normally don’t take insurance:

I am not in-network with most insurance companies and normally do not bill through insurance. My reasoning behind this is that insurance companies operate on a biomedical model, where they can determine coverage based on what they deem medically necessary, limit the number of covered sessions, and require a diagnosis. The regulations that therapists are expected to adhere to make less sense in the collaborative therapeutic work we could do together. As your therapist, your journey to recovery and healing will not be limited by timelines, diagnoses, or pathology. I try align myself only with insurance companies that can provide me with the best path to maximize your mental health journey.

I understand the financial cost that is added for private therapy, and I do not take this lightly. I believe in the power of therapy once safety, trust, and security are established– things that may feel compromised when insurance companies are involved and determine the care you deserve instead of us making that decision as a team.

I can provide monthly superbills that you can submit to your insurance company, which could offer partial reimbursement for you. Most insurance companies offer “Out of Network” benefits which cover mental health, so please call your insurance company to ensure they do cover OON benefits. A PPO plan will normally be able to provide this for you. HMO’s typically do not.

Please note the cancellation policy. If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session. *Exceptions can be made in case of emergencies.
