Frequently Asked Questions

Fees:

My fee is $175/50-minutes (individuals) and $262.50/75-minutes (relationships).

For counseling with 3 or more people, I suggest 100-minute double sessions ($350)

Sliding scale is presently available for teens (under age 18) at $130/50-minutes and up, which can be discussed in the consult call.

I am not currently on any insurance panels, but I provide superbills for reimbursement as an out-of-network provider.  I also accept HSA/FSA debit cards, which use pre-tax income.

Frequency of therapy:

A weekly or twice weekly frequency is usually needed for the work to reach sufficient depth, whether to navigate a crisis or to shift recurrent patterns in your life or relationships.

I generally take 4-6 weeks of vacation per year and give advance notice when I do so (except in rare occasions of emergencies or unforeseen illness).

Cancellations:

Please, provide advance notice when you are unable to make a session, and cancellations made within 24h of the scheduled session time will be charged the session fee.

Therapy in Cantonese:

I can provide therapy with a mix of Cantonese and English. If you are seeking therapy exclusively in Cantonese for you or your loved ones (i.e. for monolingual Cantonese speakers), I’m happy to provide referrals.

Out-of-state / International clients:

I can see only clients residing in California, due to licensure and insurance limitations.
