Common questions

How do I pick a therapist?

Use “Find my match” or call us. We match you based on your needs, schedule and insurance.

How long are sessions?

Sessions run 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of therapy and what you need. Most people start with one session a week.

Is online therapy as helpful as in-person therapy?

For most people, yes. Research shows video therapy works about as well as in-person therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma and many other concerns. You also skip the drive, which makes it easier to keep going.

Do you take my insurance?

Our clinicians are in-network with Aetna, Anthem, Blue Shield, Cigna, Optum, Carelon, Health Net, Molina, Medi-Cal, Medicare and more, and we accept Kaiser referrals. We check your benefits for free before you start.

How soon can I start?

Most new clients can have a first session within about a week. Call or text (805) 678-9182, or use “Find my match.”

Who can you see?

Anyone located in California at the time of the session. We work with kids, teens, adults, couples and families.
