Before Your First Appointment


Insurance: If you are planning to submit claims to your insurance company for reimbursement, then please consider confirming your benefits before our first meeting. (Some companies, for example, require a pre-authorization.) I have created a document that lists important questions for you to ask your claims representative. Contact me and I will send it to you via email.

Therapy Agreement: Please return the last page of the 'Therapy Agreement' form at our first meeting. Let me know if you do not have the form; I will send it to you via email. (This saves time during the first meeting.)

Cancellation Policy: If you need to change or cancel your appointment, I ask that you provide 24 hours notice. Please leave your message by voicemail, 650-323-2353.
