Appointments & Fees
Appointments are available by calling:
(619) 501-0334.
Please leave your name and telephone number on the voicemail, and your call will be returned as soon as possible. I have helped many, many people lead more satisfying lives, so please call. I sincerely want to hear from you.
Sessions are 50 minutes long unless arrangements are made for more time.
There is a 24-hour cancellation policy.
Please give me 24 hours' notice, or you will be responsible for your scheduled session.
My office operates on a fee for service basis: I charge $150 per session. You will be asked to pay at the time of service with check or cash. I accept Anthem and TriCare insurance, but I can also provide you will a billing form so you can submit your own insurance claim if you have a different insurance. I offer standard rates for my services, along with a sliding scale for those who need it.
Of course, there are limitations when treatment is paid for by insurance companies. It is often not possible for patients to get the level of care that I offer within a managed care framework. Insurance companies limit what they see as medical necessity, encourage treatment with psychotropic medications, and offer few sessions. They are not organized to understand or pay for a holistic therapy such as orgone therapy. Still, I try to work with them as well as I can. Sometimes it is sad to see payment limitations, because orgone therapy works at a deeper level than conventional treatment and makes results possible that other therapies cannot offer.
Most people who see me make the decision to step outside the system and pay privately for something they can’t get anywhere else. Another benefit of "private pay" is complete confidentiality, since treatment records are not being transmitted or stored electronically.
If you live in the San Diego area and would like to schedule an appointment, please get in touch with me. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a specialty in orgone therapy and mind-body health.
