Practice Description

Individual Psychotherapy

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have a wide range of emotional and interpersonal difficulties. I help clients to understand how their problems developed and what will be required to work through their difficulties, using psychodynamic therapy.

Psychological Testing

Psychological assessment is the use of empirically validated psychological tests to assess the patient's cognitive, academic, and personality functioning. Testing can help you or other health care providers to understand complex behaviors and emotions, clarify diagnostic questions, and develop helpful treatment recommendations. Psychological testing can also be used for educational and occupational purposes, such as determining whether or not you have a learning disability or what careers you are best suited for. I provide psychological assessment for children, adolescents, and adults.

Psychotherapy Services

Psychotherapy sessions are 50 minutes long.

I offer a free 30-minute phone consultation. The purpose of our first consultation is to determine your needs, whether we are a good match, and to confirm that your needs fit within my scope of practice. If your needs are outside my specialty areas, I'll be happy to refer you to a qualified therapist.

Fees

Please call (510) 459-1302 to discuss the current fees. For your convenience, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express are gladly accepted.

Session fees are negotiable for two or more sessions per week. A sliding scale is available to those who demonstrate a financial need.

A limited number of health insurance plans are accepted. Please call to inquire as to which plans are currently being accepted. If your particular insurance company is not currently being accepted, you may also apply for reimbursement from your insurance company (if available, depending upon your benefit plan) and I will help you by preparing a monthly statement of your services. If you elect to use your insurance company for therapy services, be sure to contact your insurance company for specific benefit eligibility and instructions for seeking reimbursement.
