-
Do you accept insurance?
In order to provide you with the highest possible quality of personalized care, I do not accept insurance or Medicare. This allows us to tailor your treatment based on your needs, without limitations imposed by third parties. Many PPO plans provide partial reimbursement and I can provide you with a detailed "Superbill" to submit, if you like. Please contact your insurance plan for information on out-of-network benefits.
-
Do you see patients in person?
I am currently seeing patients located in California virtually by tele-psychiatry only. I may soon begin offering limited in-person visits in San Francisco again, so please inquire if this is of interest.
-
What are your hours?
I see patients Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10am to 3:30pm, and occasional Friday mornings. Outside of these hours, I will respond to secure messages in 24-48 hours. For emergencies, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
-
What is your cancellation policy?
As I am holding my time for you, I request 2 business days notice for any cancelation. If I am able to fill your time with another appointment, I will refund your fee. For weekly psychotherapy appointments, I request one week notice, when possible.
-
Do you prescribe pharmaceutical medications?
Yes, when clinically indicated and desired.
-
Do you provide disability evaluations?
I do not provide disability evaluations for new patients. I will complete paperwork that may come up for established patients, with my time billed at my usual session rate.
