中文心理諮商

Fee & Insurance 費用及醫療保險

My fees are consistent with those clinicians with similar training and experiences.  While cost of therapy can be an important and sometimes stressful consideration, I offer a few sliding scale fee slots for clients under financial hardship so don't feel hesitate to reach out. My current rate is

Individual Psychotherapy Session: $275/50-minute
Couple & Family Psychotherapy Session: $325/50-minute



I am not on any “in-network” insurance panels at this time. I do provide a receipt (superbill) that you can submit directly to your insurance.  Many PPO insurance plans reimburse you a percentage of costs (typically 50-80%). Check with your insurance provider to verify the specifics for your plan.  Alternatively, therapy can usually be paid for with pre-tax dollars from your FSA (flexible spending account) or HSA (health savings account).

Here are some example of questions when reaching out to your health insurance,
  • You can start with calling your health insurance company for below questions,
  • What is my out-of-network deductible for outpatient mental health visits?
  • How much of my deductible has been met this year?
  • What is my out-of-network coinsurance for outpatient mental health visits?
  • Do I need a referral from an in-network provider or a primary care physician to see someone out-of-network?
  • How do I submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement?


CANCELLATION 取消預約

Appointments are made to reserve a specific time slot for you, and therefore, a minimum of 48 hours notice is required for rescheduling or canceling an appointment. Please call me as soon as possible if you need to cancel your appointment. As customary in this profession, the full fee will be charged for sessions missed or rescheduled without prior notification.


​Good Faith Estimate
Effective on 01/01/2022, under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and facilities are required to inform individuals who don't have insurance or don't use their insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
