Rates & Policies

We are committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care with openness and respect. We value transparency around fees and policies so you feel informed and empowered from the very beginning.

Before starting services, we will review your session fees, recommended frequency, and estimated duration of care — ensuring that you have a clear understanding of what to expect, with no hidden surprises.

We recognize that therapy is an important investment, and cost should not be the only barrier to accessing support. For this reason, a limited number of sliding scale options are available based on financial need. If you are facing financial hardship, please inquire about availability during your consultation.

  • Good Faith Estimate (No Surprises Act)

    If you are not using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the total expected cost of your care. This estimate will be provided to you in writing before your first session.

  • Confidentiality

    Your privacy is a top priority at BeUTherapy. All sessions are confidential and protected in accordance with California state law and the ethical standards of the social work profession. Information you share in therapy will never be disclosed without your consent, except in the rare circumstances required by law (such as risk of harm to self or others).

    Telehealth

    Sessions are offered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform to protect your privacy and ensure accessibility. If alternative arrangements are needed, they can be discussed and agreed upon in advance.

  • Private Pay

    We operate as a private pay practice. This means clients pay at the time of service, and we are considered an out-of-network provider with most insurance companies. Upon request, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan.

    Many clients choose private pay because it offers:

    • Greater privacy (no required sharing of diagnoses with insurance)
    • More flexibility in the type and length of services
    • Increased control over your mental health care


    Payment Methods Accepted:

    • Credit & debit cards
    • HSA/FSA cards
    • Secure electronic payment via client portal

    • Cigna
    • Carelon Behavioral Health

    Insurance coverage varies by specific plan and employer group. We verify benefits prior to your first appointment to confirm coverage details, copays, and deductibles.

    To ensure a seamless and secure experience, certain insurance claims may be processed through our trusted billing partners specializing in mental health services.

    If your plan is not listed, we are happy to provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
