The questions you would ask if it were not awkward.

Individual therapy and EMDR are $225 per 50-minute session. EMDR intensives are $2,300, which covers one 60-minute intake plus three 3-hour sessions.

The first step is a free 10-minute consultation, so you are not paying to find out whether we are a fit.

I am out of network, which means I do not bill insurance directly. I can provide a superbill, a receipt with the codes your insurer needs, and you submit it for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Whether you get reimbursed and how much is between you and your plan. Call the number on your card and ask about out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits, your deductible, and your reimbursement rate.

Yes. Under the No Surprises Act, clients who are not using insurance are entitled to a written estimate of expected costs. I provide one, and you can ask for it at any point.

You hold a specific memory in mind while doing a simple repeated task, usually eye movements, tapping or alternating sounds. That combination appears to help the brain file the memory as something that happened rather than something happening now.

You stay awake and in control throughout. It is not hypnosis, you can stop at any point, and you do not have to narrate the whole event in detail for it to do something.

Yes. I deliver EMDR by secure video using on-screen visual or auditory bilateral stimulation, to clients located anywhere in California.

ADHD in women, narcissistic abuse recovery, complex trauma, self-worth, and attachment and relationship patterns. EMDR runs through a lot of it.

I do not treat severe mental illness or psychotic disorders. If a higher level of care would serve you better, I will say so at consult and help point you somewhere useful.

I am also not a crisis service. In an emergency, call or text 988, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
