Private Rates for Therapy in San Diego/California

My rates are in line with the standard fees for therapists in California, reflecting my extensive education, experience, and clinical training. I offer a range of mental health services in San Diego to meet your needs:

  • Therapy Services: $200 (50 min)

  • Coaching: $175-250 (50 min)

  • Clinical Consultation: $185 (50 min)

  • Workshops/Trainings: Based on consultation

For clients seeking reimbursement from their insurance providers, I provide the option to request super bills.

What is a Superbill?

A superbill is a detailed receipt that you can request from your therapist in San Diego to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement if your therapist is out-of-network.

What’s Included:

  • Therapist Information: Name, license number, and practice details.

  • Session Details: Date, duration (50 minutes), and cost of each session.

  • Clinical Diagnosis: Required by insurance for processing.

  • Service Codes: Describes the type of therapy service provided.

How It Works:

  1. Request a superbill after your session.

  2. Submit it to your insurance company.

  3. If approved, receive partial reimbursement based on your out-of-network benefits.

Why Use It?

  • Allows you to get reimbursed for therapy sessions if your therapist is out-of-network.

Important Considerations:

  • You may need to meet a deductible first.

  • Check if your insurance limits the number of reimbursable sessions.

I do believe mental health services should be accessible to everyone so I do accept some clients at a reduced hourly session rate (Sliding Scale) based on their financial circumstances.

A client may request a sliding scale based on need to assist with the cost of therapy, but this is not a guarantee. Sliding scale reduced session fees are not long term and are offered when there is a sudden or situational financial stressor.

Sessions fees will be revisited after 60 days to reassess one’s ability to pay the full amount.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand.

Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
