Therapy for California Moms: Session Rates + Investment

Motherhood wasn’t meant to feel this heavy.

Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, the mental load, or the pressure to hold everything together — you deserve support that helps you feel more like yourself again.

Therapy is where you finally stop carrying everything alone.

The Investment: Prioritizing the Woman Behind the "Mom" Label.

You Aren’t Just Buying an Hour; You’re Reclaiming Your Capacity. In a culture that expects women to "optimize" every part of their lives while paying a silent Perfectionism Tax (the invisible emotional cost of maintaining an 'optimized' life while your internal identity is being erased by the mental load), investing in your mental health isn't a luxury—it’s a strategic necessity. When you are depleted, overstimulated, and navigating the "Identity Ghost" of who you used to be, your entire world feels the weight.

Therapy with a specialist isn't about "getting through" the week; it’s about dismantling the systems that lead to System Overload and Maternal Rage. You are investing in the version of yourself that can lead your family, your career, and your life with authority and peace.

Why a Private-Pay Specialist Matters Choosing a boutique, private-pay practice means your care is dictated by your needs, not an insurance company’s bottom line.

• Boutique Caseload: I intentionally limit the number of clients I see to ensure that you receive my full clinical focus, presence, and responsiveness.

• Specialized Clinical Depth: You aren't working with a generalist. You are working with a clinician who specializes exclusively in the high-stakes transition of California motherhood—from Postpartum Anxiety to Pregnancy After Loss.

• Strategic Virtual Ease: High-end care that respects your schedule. No 405 traffic, no waiting rooms, and no logistical friction.

Session Rates

• Individual Therapy Session: $275 (50 minutes)

• The 10-Minute Vibe Check: Complimentary.

Insurance & Reimbursement Most of my clients utilize their PPO out-of-network benefits to assist with the cost of therapy.

• The Superbill: I provide a monthly "Superbill" (an itemized receipt) that you can submit directly to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

• HSA/FSA: You are welcome to use your Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account cards to pay for sessions.

• The Advantage: Maintaining a private-pay model ensures the highest level of privacy and allows us to focus entirely on your clinical goals without external interference.

FAQ: Investing in Specialized Support

Is therapy worth the cost? Think of the cost of not seeking support: the burnout, the strained relationships, and the feeling of being a stranger in your own life. Investing in a specialist now prevents the long-term "tax" of a dysregulated nervous system.

What is the "10-Minute Free Vibe Check"? I offer a complimentary 10-minute video call to ensure we are a perfect clinical and personal match. This is a no-pressure way for you to see if my specialized approach to the Mental Load is the right fit for you before you commit to a full session.

How do I find out what my insurance will cover? I recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card and asking: "What is my out-of-network reimbursement rate for outpatient mental health (CPT code 90837)?" This will give you a clear picture of your final out-of-pocket investment.

Do you see moms across California? Yes. I provide premium virtual therapy to high-achieving women in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and the Bay Area. My practice is built to support the specific pressures of the California lifestyle.
