FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY THERAPY?
ARE YOU LICENSED?
Therapy is different for everyone and the reasons why a person chooses to start therapy are as unique as the individual. You might consider therapy if you are going through a major life transition, or if you've experienced trauma. You might decide to see a therapist if you feel stuck, are having trouble processing something, or seem to be repeating unhealthy patterns in your life. Some people see a therapist for mental health concerns like anxiety or depression and others attend for mental health maintenance.
I am a pre-licensed associate marriage and family therapist (AMFT). I have an associate marriage and family therapist license issued by the Board of Behavioral Sciences in California, I currently work under the supervision of a fully licensed therapist.
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
I currently do not accept insurance. Payments are made at the end of each session.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Therapy is always confidential. This means:
-
Not revealing the identity of clients or sharing information that could lead to their identification.
-
Not discussing therapy sessions or client information with anyone else.
-
Keeping all records and notes about clients in a secure and confidential location.​
-
Not leaving revealing information on voicemail or text.
-
Not acknowledging to outside parties that a client has an appointment.
-
Not discussing the contents of therapy with a third party without the explicit permission of the client.​
​
​Confidentiality is only broken if the therapist feels the client is an imminent and acute threat to themselves or someone else, The only other time the therapist will break confidentiality is in cases of child, elder, or dependent-adult abuse.
