The Investment
Consultation Call: Complimentary
A 15-minute conversation to determine fit. You come with your questions. I come with mine. If it makes sense for both of us to continue, we schedule the assessment.
Comprehensive Assessment: $500
The assessment is a single session of up to 120 minutes. Together we cover your biological, psychological, and social history in full. By the end, we have a complete clinical picture and a clear direction for the work ahead.
Ongoing Sessions: $500 per 50-minute session
Session frequency is set around your life. Weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Cadence is set deliberately and adjusted as the work evolves.
A superbill is provided monthly for clients pursuing outofnetwork reimbursement.
Privacy and Confidentiality
For professionals, privacy is not a secondary concern.
Your name, your attendance, and everything discussed in sessions is protected under California law and HIPAA. Nothing is shared with your employer, your board, your colleagues, or anyone else without your explicit written consent.
I do not bill insurance directly, which means your sessions do not generate a diagnostic record with your insurer or the Medical Information Bureau.
Out-of-Network Reimbursement
I am not paneled with any insurance carriers and do not bill insurance on your behalf.
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, which is common with PPO plans, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. At the end of each month I will provide a superbill with everything your insurer needs to process a claim.
Whether to pursue reimbursement is entirely your decision. Most clients at this practice treat the investment as a direct operating expense and do not involve their insurer.
Good Faith Estimate
As required under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a written Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before services begin. This applies to all clients at this practice. To request one, contact me directly at vin@actualizebeing.com. For more information about your rights, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
The first step is a conversation. If the investment works and the fit is right, we move forward from there.
