Is therapy really for me? I’ve always handled things on my own.
Yes! Therapy is for everyone!
I can’t afford your rates – do you offer a sliding scale or scholarships?
If you are ready for my services, and the cost would not be a wise financial decision for you, please reach out to me. In most cases, I can agree to an amount that feels more comfortable for you. If not, I can research other providers for you.
Do you take insurance?
I am currently in network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Anthem of Blue Cross in California, Magellan, Optum, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Cigna. If you would like to access your out of network benefits, I can work with you to submit superbills/invoices for reimbursement.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I prefer Zelle or Cash App. For in home sessions, I also accept cash or check. Debit/credit card is available only when using in network insurance, and I cover the fees for you.
What is your no-show policy? Are there any cancellation fees?
I only charge 20 dollars for cancellations within 24 hours and no-shows, but commitment and consistency with meeting is necessary on both ends to ensure a positive result.
What types of mental health conditions can you treat?
I am qualified to treat a range of conditions, including mood, anxiety, and personality disorders. Please reach out to me for a free consultation, and we can explore your treatment options.
What is your talk therapy style?
My therapy style is client-centered, focusing on your goals and preferences. Although not required, I enjoy using creative activities, experiential learning, AI technology, books, and mental health apps to improve therapy outcomes.
How confidential is therapy?
Your participation in Blooming Therapy Co. services is strictly between us, with rare exceptions. If I suspect elder or child abuse, or am concerned that you are at imminent and immediate risk of intentionally hurting yourself or someone else, I am legally required to break confidentiality to seek protective assistance. If you are using health insurance, your medical record may be reviewed by your insurance company.
I’ve never heard of in-home therapy. What are the benefits?
In-home therapy provides convenience, a feeling of comfort and familiarity, insight for me into your environment, and more personalized care. Some negatives may be distractions (noise in the home), a lack of privacy, or more challenges maintaining professional boundaries. Overall, I have found that my clients enjoy the convenience and personalized attention that come from in-home visits.
Where are your relationship enrichment workshops located, and do you offer them virtually?
My relationship workshops are in person only, and available in home throughout the Morongo Basin, in various Air B&B’s in the area, or in another mutually agreed upon location.
