Virtual Counseling for California Residents with Nancy Felix, LMFT

A 50-minute session is $175.  When you schedule your first appointment, you will receive a set of new client forms to fill out electronically before our first meeting.  This will include a credit/debit card form you can fill out with the card you would like to keep on file.  Payments will be charged the day of the session.

If you would like to seek reimbursement for your sessions, I can print a statement for you to give to your insurance company.  Your counseling services may be eligible for full or partial reimbursement through your insurance out-of-network benefits.  For more information on this you will want to reach out to your health insurance company directly to see if you have these particular benefits for mental health services.

Appointments are scheduled Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday between the hours of 7am and 3pm.  All appointments begin at the top of the hour and last 50 minutes.

All sessions take place over the secure video platform Simple Practice.  You will receive a link for the session to your email and phone 15 before the session start time.   Make sure to find a quiet private place with a strong internet connection for our meetings.  I often talk with people in their offices, bedrooms, or parked cars!

Sessions are 50 minutes long and people get the best results if they schedule appointments on a weekly basis.  We can talk together about what your goals are and how many therapy sessions would be helpful but ultimately that decision is up to you.  Of course, everyone is different -- but in our free consultation you can give me a brief idea of what it is you are wanting to work on and I can tell you how long other people in a similar situation attended therapy.  In therapy we will be regularly assessing how you are progressing with your goals as well as your expectations regarding how long therapy will me necessary and helpful.

Having supportive friends and family members is great!  I hope that is something that you have!  However, even with supportive people in your life you might find that you have struggles that you don’t feel super comfortable or think is appropriate to bring up with these people.  This is where a therapist comes in. 

A therapist has specific experience and training to help you improve your mental health.  She will listen without judgment, provide unbiased feedback, and teach you new skills and techniques to help you find solutions to your problems.  Unlike your other relationships the time with your therapist is only about you – you don’t have to check in with how your therapist is doing or take care of her – you get to focus on yourself and receive structured and confidential support from a trained and licensed mental health clinician.
