Do you take private insurance?
Unfortunately, we do not take private insurance. We are only able to service those with Medi-Cal or who have no insurance at this time. If you want to use your private insurance for mental health services, you can ask your primary care provider for a referral or search your insurance website for a mental health provider. You can also browse Psychology Today or GoodTherapy to search for one. Many providers accept out-of-pocket payment and/or private insurance. We hope you can find the help you need as soon as possible.

Is therapy confidential?
The law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and a therapist. Information is not disclosed without written permission. However, there are number of exceptions to this rule such as:
- Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse. The therapist is required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
- If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person. The therapist must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
- If a client intends to harm himself or herself. The therapist will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, further measures may be taken without their permission in order to ensure their safety.
