As a San Francisco Bay Area therapist, I offer individual therapy both in person at my office in Orinda and remote (teletherapy), via secure video conference within California. Having remote options allows me to work with people throughout California.
My office is located at 89 Davis Road in Orinda California, which is just past the Caldecott Tunnel from Oakland and Berkeley. The building is just a block off of Orinda Theater Square. It is about 15-30 minutes from Berkeley, Oakland, and Walnut Creek by car (depending on your exact location and traffic). There is free parking available on site if you plan to drive, or it is a short walk from the Orinda BART Station if you are using public transit. There is an elevator for accessibility.
Initial Consultation (20 minutes): Complimentary
Individual Therapy Session (50 minutes): $300
Relationship Counseling (75 minutes): $450
Please note: For social justice reasons I set aside one third of my practice as sliding scale or reduced-fee slots. Those who are able to pay my standard rate allow me to maintain a sustainable practice while also offering these reduced-fee sessions for those facing financial barriers to accessing therapy. If you need a sliding scale rate, please reach out to discuss pricing options and availability of those spots.
I am not currently on any insurance panels except for Lyra Health. In insurance language, I am referred to as an out-of-network provider. If you would like your insurance to contribute to therapy costs, I can provide you with a monthly statement of services which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please make sure to consult your insurance provider about your level of out-of-network coverage and any other questions you may have. Some good questions to ask are:
Does my plan cover out-of-network mental health services?
What are my deductible and co-pay for out-of-network services?
What percentage of the cost per session will I be reimbursed for?
How many sessions per year are covered?
