Scheduling and Rates
If you are interested in finding out whether I might be a good therapist for you, I offer a free 20-minute consultation by phone.
I invite you to call me at 510-496-6001 and leave a message with several good times to reach you. Please leave your number twice to make sure I can hear it.
You may also send me an inquiry through this website directly to my email address: seveaceves@gmail.com
Rates
My sliding scale is $160 to $200 per 60-minute hour.
Insurance
I am not an in-network provider for any insurance plans at this time.
Do you take insurance?
Does my plan cover some portion of services with licensed, out-of-network providers?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per year does my mental/behavioral health insurance cover?
If you have a PPO plan, it's worth calling your insurer to see whether you are eligible for partial reimbursement. When calling your company, talk to a benefits specialist and let them know you are interested in working with an "out-of-network provider."
The following questions are a good place to start:
For couples therapy, I recommend scheduling 75
minutes for the first session.
Please call me if you are interested in learning more about using your PPO plan to pay for my services; I'd be happy to explain more fully how that works.
However, I can provide you with a Superbill, a document that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
See below for more information.
