Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kinds of couples do you work best with? My approach is best for motivated couples with a specific gridlocked issue. My couples tend to enjoy structure, measurable goals, and seeing progress week to week.

2. What training do you have in Gottman-Method? I completed three of four levels of certification in the method as well as practicum training with the Clinical Director of the Gottman Institute.

3. Do you accept insurance? I’m in-network for Aetna + Blue Shield of California plans not administered through Magellan/MHSA. I also provide OON clients with a superbill to seek reimbursement.

4. What are your session fees? $250 for each session.

5. How long does treatment last? I typically do not work with clients for over a year and see the most significant change within the first 3-6 months of treatment.

6. Are there risks in doing couples therapy? There is a risk that your relationship will end, regardless of intervention. Treatment tends to result in the opposite: improved overall communication skills, emotional awareness, and conflict management.

7. Do you provide in-person therapy? Yes. My office is in The Gardens at 2001 S. Barrington Ave, Suite 204 in West LA. Telehealth is offered as well for those who find it more convenient.
