What is the process to become a new client?

Before starting treatment with a new client, it is important to assess if we are a good fit to work together.  If you are interested in working with me, I ask that you first schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation. 

During this phone call, I will ask you questions about your concerns and what you are looking for in therapy. I will also share about my therapeutic approach.  If during the phone call, we both agree that we are a good fit, we can proceed to schedule our first session together.

If I believe that another professional may be better equipped to help you, I am happy to provide referrals.

Do you take insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider for most Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) insurance plans. If you would like to use your out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill if you wish to get reimbursed directly from your insurance. Please read this page to learn more about using your out-of-network benefits and why it can be beneficial to choose a therapist outside of your insurance plan.

Do you offer therapy in multiple languages?

Although I speak conversational-level Cantonese, I only offer therapy in English. 

Are there issues you don’t treat?

My practice is not a good fit for clients experiencing active suicidal/homicidal thoughts, active eating disorders, self-harm, addiction/addiction recovery, psychosis, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I am happy to provide referrals if you are seeking support with any of these issues.

It is very important that the therapist you choose feels competent and passionate about treating your specific concern. My hope is that everyone who contacts me receives the best treatment, whether it is from me or another professional.
