Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, I am currently accepting new clients. You can schedule an appointment through Zocdoc or reach out directly through my contact page for a free initial phone consultation.

I offer both in-person sessions at my office at 11726 San Vicente Blvd, Suite 220, Los Angeles, CA 90049 (through Stori) and telehealth sessions for clients throughout California. Many clients find that a combination of in-person and virtual sessions works well for their schedule and preferences.

Yes, I am fluent in both English and Farsi (Persian) and offer therapy sessions in either language. Being able to express yourself in your first language can be profoundly meaningful in therapeutic work, and I welcome clients who prefer to work in Farsi.

Yes. Through Stori, I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and United for individual and family therapy. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan. I'd recommend calling your insurance provider to ask about your copay and deductible. Please note that couples therapy is not covered in-network. For out-of-network plans, I can provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential reimbursement.

Sessions start at $155, with rates up to $225 depending on session length. The rate is the same whether you're coming individually, as a couple, or as a family. I'm happy to discuss specifics during our free initial phone consultation, and I do reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots.

A standard session is about 50 minutes. Longer sessions are available when the work calls for it, and extended appointments are billed at a higher rate. We'll discuss what makes the most sense for you during our initial consultation.

I require at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations, reschedules within the 48-hour window, and missed sessions are subject to the full session fee. You can notify me via email or through the client portal.

Absolutely. Here are a few I frequently recommend:

I'm always happy to suggest additional resources tailored to your specific interests and needs.
