Parenting Instruction Classes - I offer a 12-week parent education course (small group). I use a highly recognized program/curriculum. A letter of participation will be provided to court if needed. Please call for information on the class schedule and fees.
I accept claimants for mental health services with the CA Victim Compensation Program.
Low Fee/ Sliding Scale Fees
I reserve slots for uninsured low-income clients. Please call to be considered.
Insurance
I accept Blue Shield of California and CompCare health insurance. For those with a PPO insurance and your plan allows for "Out-of-Network Providers," I can provide you with a 1500 form, so that you can submit the bill directly to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Appointments
If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call my office to cancel and reschedule at least 24 hours in advance. The full fee will be charged for sessions missed without such notification.
Clinical Supervision
I offer individual supervision for registered California Board of Behavioral Sciences Associate Social Workers (ASW) or Marriage and Family Therapist Interns (MFTI) working towards their licensure hours. Please call to check on my availability.
Emergencies
I reserve slots for emergency or crisis referrals. Late evening appointments are available two days a week. If you are a clinician or agency making a referral, please call to inquire about my availability.
If you have a psychiatric or medical emergency, please call 911. If you need to contact me between sessions, please call (818-922-4367) and leave a message. I will return your call as soon as possible or within a 24 hour period.
