Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

You can either call our office at (818) 900-5152 or click on Schedule to make an appointment.

WHAT IS A FIRST MEETING LIKE?

The first meeting is dedicated to understanding the reasons you are coming in and exploring fit between you and your counselor. It’s a time for you to ask questions about the therapy process, and your counselor’s experiences and therapeutic style. You and your counselor would also take time to come up with short-term and/or long-term goals for treatment.

HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?

Sessions are generally 45 minutes long.

HOW FREQUENTLY DO WE MEET?

Sessions generally take place once a week.

HOW LONG DO I STAY IN TREATMENT?

Duration of treatment depends on various factors such as the severity and duration of the difficulty, client’s goals, treatment recommendations, etc. Our therapists often set a short-term treatment goals first and reassess the need for continued therapy as needed.

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

Some of our clinicians are in-network with Aetna and Cigna/Evernorth, where we submit claims on behalf of our clients. Most of us are an out-of-network provider, meaning that we can provide superbills if you would like to submit them for your insurance carrier for reimbursement. For your information, a superbill does not guarantee that an insurance provider will pay for the services provided. Each insurance plan is different, so it is important for you to contact your insurance provider to find out what would be covered. 

WHAT IF I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD YOUR FULL FEE?

Our clinicians have dedicated time to providing our services at a reduced fee for clients who are not able to afford our full fee.
