Frequently Asked Questions

  • Finding the right therapist is important. Rebecca offers a complimentary 15-minute consultation call to help you determine whether working together feels like a good fit. You can contact her directly or sign up on her virtual calendar to schedule a time.

    During this call, you can briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, including concerns related to fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, trauma, anxiety, or major life transitions. Rebecca can also answer questions about her approach and outline next steps if you decide to move forward. If it does not feel like the right fit, she is happy to provide referrals to other therapists who may better meet your needs.

  • Rebecca is a private pay therapist, allowing therapy to remain flexible, confidential, and tailored to each client’s needs.

    Rebecca is an in-network provider with Anthem Blue Cross UCSHIP (University of California Student Health Insurance Plan) and reserves a limited number of appointments for UCSHIP students.

    Rebecca is not contracted with other insurance panels. However, if you have a PPO plan, you may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement depending on your benefits. Rebecca provides superbills that clients can submit to their insurance company for possible reimbursement.

    Some clients also choose to use Mentaya, a service that helps manage out-of-network insurance claims. Mentaya can submit claims and handle follow-up with your insurance company for a 5% per-claim fee. Clients may also submit superbills themselves at no cost.

    Questions to ask your insurance provider:

    • What is my out-of-network deductible?

    • What is the allowed amount for CPT code 90834 (45-minute therapy session)?
      This typically ranges from $80-$275

    • What percent do you reimburse for an out of network provider?
      This typically ranges from 30%-70%

    Example reimbursement scenarios:

    • If your plan allows $275 and reimburses 70%, you would receive $192.50 per session.

    • If your plan allows $80 and reimburses 50%, you would receive $40 per session.

    *Please note that insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis in order to qualify for reimbursement.

    EMDR Therapy Sessions
    EMDR therapy is often conducted in 90-minute sessions to allow sufficient time for deeper trauma processing and nervous system regulation during the reprocessing phase of treatment. However, 45-minute sessions are also available depending on client preference, scheduling needs, and insurance reimbursement considerations.

    45 minutes | $275
    90 minutes | $450

    EMDR may be integrated into ongoing therapy or used as a focused treatment approach for individuals processing trauma, including experiences related to sexual violence, medical trauma, and fertility treatment.

    Rebecca offers a limited number of sliding-scale appointments when available. Please inquire directly for additional information.

    A superbill can be provided for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance provider.

    Rates reflect Rebecca’s training, experience, and alignment with community standards. Payment is due at the time of service.

  • Because appointment times are reserved specifically for you, at least 48 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule a session. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice may be charged the full session fee.

    *Please note that insurance plans typically do not cover missed or canceled sessions.

  • Rebecca currently offers virtual therapy sessions. For clients located in West Los Angeles, home-based or community-based sessions may be available on a limited basis for an additional fee.

  • As of January 1, 2022, according to the No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    You are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges per your request or at the time of scheduling. While it is not possible for a psychotherapist to know, in advance, how many psychotherapy sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a given person, this form provides an estimate of the cost of services provided. Your total cost of services will depend upon the number of psychotherapy sessions you attend, your individual circumstances, and the type and amount of services that are provided to you.
