Getting started
Who do you work with?
Adults located anywhere in California.
How long does therapy last?
It depends on the concern and how treatment goes. Many evidence-based treatments take around 12 to 16 sessions, and some people need fewer or more. You and Dr. Plant will review progress along the way.
Is there a free consultation?
No. After you reach out, we verify your benefits and schedule a full first session, where you and Dr. Plant decide together how to proceed.
When are appointments available?
Fridays, by secure video.
How quickly will I hear back?
Within 2 business days by email after you send the request form. Voicemails may take longer.
Insurance and fees
Which insurance do you accept?
Aetna and Optum/United Behavioral Health (including many UnitedHealthcare plans). Also in-network with Blue Shield of California PPO.
What does private pay cost?
$200 per 50-minute session, paid by credit or debit card before each session.
Do you provide superbills?
No. Superbills for out-of-network reimbursement aren’t provided.
Is there a sliding scale?
Financial hardship options are available. Ask when you reach out.
What if I miss a session?
Sessions missed or canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged the full fee.
Telehealth
Do you offer in-person sessions?
No. All sessions are by secure video.
Is telehealth right for me?
You need reliable internet and a private space. If safety concerns or quality of care call for in-person treatment, Dr. Plant will help you find a referral.
Faith
Do I have to be Christian?
No. Faith is part of therapy only if you ask for it.
Can we pray or use Scripture in sessions?
Yes, if you want to. You decide how much faith is part of your treatment.
