Not seeing your insurance? Call (626) 354-6440 or send a message through the contact form. We accept all insurance and may still be able to help, either as an out-of-network provider or by working out a sliding-scale arrangement.

Out-of-network and superbills

If your plan has out-of-network mental health benefits, we can provide a monthly superbill so you can submit for reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse 60–80% of the session fee after a deductible — call your insurer and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

Sliding scale

We offer a limited sliding scale on a case-by-case basis. We look at household income, household size, and what's actually realistic for you. We'd rather have a real conversation than a generic policy. Mention it on the first call.

What insurance does and doesn't cover

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary outpatient psychotherapy. Some plans require pre-authorization for ongoing care, especially after a certain number of sessions; we handle that on our end.

What insurance generally does not cover:

• Couples or relationship counseling, when no individual diagnosis is involved (some plans do; check yours)
• Letters in support of gender-affirming medical care that exceed standard documentation (some plans cover; many don't)
• Court-ordered evaluations
• Coaching, life advice, or services without a clinical diagnosis

A note on the No Surprises Act

If you are paying out of pocket or are uninsured, federal law gives you the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before you start care. Read about the Good Faith Estimate →
