The practice is an out-of-network provider. We provide comprehensive monthly superbills containing all necessary diagnostic coding (ICD-10, CPT) so that you can seek direct reimbursement from your PPO insurer. Many clients receive 50% to 80% coverage depending on their policy.
Are in-person sessions fully private and discreet? expand_more
Yes. The West Hollywood consulting suite was intentionally selected for client privacy. It features sound-insulated clinical doors, a discreet interior courtyard entry, and no crowded public waiting areas. Telehealth sessions utilize end-to-end encrypted video complying with federal HIPAA regulations.
What if I have never spoken openly about kink, ENM, or sexuality in therapy before? expand_more
Many clients arrive having felt judged or misunderstood in conventional medical environments. Here, your desires, consensual practices, and relational formats are met with informed normalization, respect, and zero pathologizing. You set the pace and boundaries of what we explore.
