Psychotherapy Questions
-
For individual therapy: I am in-network with Aetna & Blue Shield of CA. For out-of-network, I can provide you with a superbill.
For couples therapy: I do not accept insurance. Please review the next section for more details.

Opting out of insurance for couples therapy is intended to safeguard your privacy and ensure unrestricted access to services. Key considerations include:
Privacy Protection: When working with insurers, therapists must assign a mental health diagnosis and share this information with the insurance provider. Opting out helps preserve your privacy.
Limitations in Reimbursement: Most insurers do not cover couples therapy, and there is a lack of accepted CPT codes for relational or marital issues. Filing a claim for couples therapy may be deemed fraudulent, resulting in potential complications.
By opting out, I aim to create an environment where your therapy is not constrained by diagnostic requirements or potential coverage limitations. If you have any questions, please feel free to discuss them with me.

Breathwork is not recommended for people with certain medical and mental health conditions. Before scheduling a session, you'll complete an intake form to review your medical and mental health history. If you have a condition that may contraindicate breathwork, I may not be able to offer services. However, with approval from your physician, services may still be provided in some cases.

After a session, it’s recommended to rest, stay hydrated, and give yourself time to process any emotions or physical sensations that may arise. It’s best to avoid using substances like alcohol or recreational drugs, as they can interfere with the integration process. Additionally, it’s advisable to hold off on making any significant life-changing decisions immediately after a session. Allow your mind and body time to fully absorb and reflect on the experience before taking any major steps.
