PSYCHOTHERAPY

One-on-One Session:

  • For US residents: Due to regulations of California state licensing board, I can only provide tele-therapy to those who are residents of California. You also need to be in California at the time therapy starts.

  • What to expect: The initial session marks the official beginning of our therapeutic relationship. The first session also serves as a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better. We will further discuss the therapeutic process that will best suit your needs, challenges, and strengths.

  • Important note: When you are honest about your challenges/needs, and have realistic expectations about therapy, this will allow me to be a better guide and provide appropriate support for you. Trust is built when there are honesty and authentic connection between us—these are all important ingredients for a healthy therapeutic relationship and your successful outcomes.

  • Standard session is 50 minutes in length. I also offer longer sessions (75 minutes), when it’s determined appropriate and based on my availability.

  • All therapy sessions are conducted via telephone/voice or HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform. You can choose either telephone/voice or video session, whichever option that works best for you.

  • For potential new clients, I offer an initial free 15-minute phone consult.

  • If you haven’t already, I invite you to check out FAQs to get answers to the frequently asked questions.

Getting Started:

When you are ready to work with me, here are the steps you can follow to get started:

  • Step 1: Book your initial free 15-minute consult with me. Please allow up to two business days for my response.

  • Step 2: During our 15-minute consult, we can explore whether my style and approach are a good fit for your needs, to ensure that we are a good match to work with each other. If we are a good match, we will move forward to Step 3.

  • Step 3: Schedule initial intake session and complete intake paperwork. You will receive an email invitation to gain access to the intake paperwork via HIPAA-compliant online client portal. Please complete intake paperwork at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled first session. That will give me time to review it before your first session.

Until then, may you find some solace within these pages at this time. Most importantly, may you be well and safe.
