-
Yes! We offer virtual therapy for patients across California, including those in Santa Monica. This provides you with more flexibility while still ensuring you receive expert care.
-
Our goal is to provide personalized care without dictation of treatment by an insurance company or administrator. Therefore, at this time, I do not accept any insurance plans.
If you have a PPO plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance company for out of network services. If so, I am happy to provide a monthly invoice (AKA superbill) to submit. I recommend you contact your insurance company and check. Here are several questions to consider asking:

** How much is my co-pay or co-insurance per visit?
** How many visits do I have annually?
** Are there limitations on the conditions/diagnoses that can be reimbursed?
You can also consider using your FSA (Flexible Savings Account) for reimbursement of service fees.
