Common questions before getting started.

I offer in-person therapy in Sawtelle, West Los Angeles, as well as virtual therapy throughout California. Outpatient sessions are 50-minutes.

Teen therapy is the primary focus of Bloom Meadows Therapy. I work with teens ages 12–18 who may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, identity, friendships, family conflict, trust, or feeling misunderstood or unsure where they fit.

I also incorporate parent or family sessions when they can support a teen’s progress.

That’s okay, and it’s common. Your teen does not need to be excited about therapy, ready to open up, or know exactly what to say.

I focus first on building a relationship where they feel respected and comfortable enough to be themselves. We can start wherever they are.

Sometimes. Parent or family sessions may be included when they can support your teen’s progress, improve communication, or help with patterns at home.

During the consultation, we can talk about what parent involvement may look like and how your teen’s privacy is handled.

Yes. LGBTQ+ identity and affirmation are part of my areas of focus, including identity exploration, belonging, family dynamics, relationships, and the impact of judgment or religious experiences.

Yes. My background includes a Master’s of Social Work with a concentration in child welfare and experience with youth in foster care. I also work with attachment and relationship patterns, relational trauma, and adoption/foster-care experiences.

Individual therapy: $200 per 50-minute session
Parent or family sessions: $250 per 50-minute session

These rates apply to both in-person and virtual sessions. Sessions are 50-minutes.

I offer a limited number of reduced fee spots in my practice.

Reduced fee spots are for clients who are not otherwise able to access or continue therapy at the full rate. If you’re interested, we can talk openly about whether my reduced fee is manageable for you. These spots are limited and may not always be available.

Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to provide clients who are uninsured or not using insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for medical and mental health services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your care.

You may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling a service or at any time during treatment.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients may use their out-of-network benefits to be reimbursed for part of the cost of therapy.

In this case, I will provide you with a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance company, which includes what they need to process your claim.

Before we start, call your insurance company to learn about your benefits. Here’s what to ask:

• What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?

• What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed?

• Is there a deductible I need to meet first?

• What is needed for reimbursement?

The free 30-minute phone consultation is a chance for you to tell me a little about what you’ve been noticing, ask questions, and learn more about how I work.

We can also talk about whether in-person therapy in Sawtelle or virtual therapy would be the better fit for your teen.

You don’t need anything prepared.

Start by scheduling a free 30-minute consultation.

If it feels like a good fit, we’ll talk about availability, whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, and the next steps for beginning therapy.
