FAQ
(Frequently Asked Question)
Where is your office located?
My office is in the Willow Glen area of San Jose at 1685 Westwood Drive, Suite #11. That’s just off of Meridian Avenue, between Willow Street and Minnesota Avenue.
Will my therapy be confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is an important element of therapy. It’s part of what makes it work! I won’t talk to your closest relative, friend or family doctor without your written permission. The exceptions to this rule are child or elder abuse, and danger to yourself or others.
What kind of therapy do you do?
What a great question! My basic framework or style of therapy is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. That’s because I believe that so much of how we feel and how we respond is based on what we’re thinking, our cognitions. However, therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I keep in mind that what’s important is that it is effective for you. Sometimes that means we take a more long term approach, and other times we focus on solutions.
How long does each session last?
Each session is scheduled for 50 minutes.
How much does it cost?
Therapy is definitely an investment of time, energy and money. Please contact me for my current fee. Payment is made at the time of each session.
What about insurance?
Your health insurance may indeed cover a portion of your therapy expense. I encourage you to contact your insurance company directly and find out the policy for out-of-network providers. Be sure to ask what portion they will reimburse along with the number of sessions. At your request, I am happy to provide you with a monthly statement of your payments that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
