Frequently Asked Questions
How do I select a therapist?
All of our therapists currently have openings. Please look at our therapist page and reach out to one of our therapists directly or call 916-234-0345 or email hello@tikkuntherapy.org for a free 15-minute phone consultation with one of our therapists.
Do you offer online therapy?
We offer secure online therapy to anyone in California and in-person therapy at our office in Midtown, Sacramento.
Do you accept insurance?
We are not an in-network provider of any insurance provider and we are considered an “out of network” provider. We collect payment at the time of service. Funds from Health Savings Accounts (HSA) can typically be used to claim reimbursement for therapy.
At your request, we will provide you with a monthly “superbill” that you may submit to your insurance carrier (or HSA) and receive reimbursement based on what your mental health plan allows.
Prior to securing mental health treatment, we encourage you to contact your insurance carrier and confirm coverage, if this is how you plan to pay for treatment.
Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
Does it cover out-of-network providers for mental health services?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
What diagnoses are covered, if not all?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Am I paying into a Health Savings Account? Funds from these can typically be used to claim reimbursement for therapy.
Please give at least one week’s notice to provide you with a “superbill.”
How much does the therapy cost?
Our fees are $195 per session for Dr. Rosenberg and $160 for Claudia.
How can I pay?
We accept the following credit and debit cards through our secure online portal: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover, and Diners Club. Typically HSA and FSA cards can also be accepted through their affiliation with the aforementioned financial services companies.
How often is therapy?
For therapy to be effective, it is important to meet regularly with your therapist. All of our clients meet with their therapist at least once a week.
How long does therapy last?
It really depends on your goals and needs. Short-term therapy goals can be accomplished in as few as ten to fifteen sessions while some prefer to stay in therapy for ongoing work.
How do I know if I’m ready for therapy?
Deciding if you're ready for therapy is an important step in seeking help for your mental health and emotional well-being. Here are some signs and considerations to help you determine if you're ready for therapy:
Recognizing Your Need: Acknowledge that you are experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties that are affecting your daily life, relationships, work, or overall well-being. If you're struggling to cope with issues on your own, therapy may be beneficial.
Willingness to Change: Are you open to the idea of making changes in your life or behaviors? Therapy often involves exploring and addressing issues, which may require you to be open to personal growth and change.
Motivation: Do you have the motivation to actively participate in therapy? Effective therapy often involves active engagement.
Setting Realistic Expectations: Understand that therapy is a process, and it may take time to see significant improvements. It's essential to have realistic expectations and not expect immediate solutions to your problems.
Emotional Readiness: Are you emotionally prepared to discuss and explore your feelings, thoughts, and past experiences with a therapist? Therapy can sometimes bring up difficult emotions and memories.
Support System: Consider whether you have a support system in place or are willing to seek support from friends and family. Having a network of people who can provide emotional support can be valuable during therapy.
Financial and Time Commitment: Therapy requires a financial and time commitment. Assess whether you can afford therapy and have the time to attend regular sessions.
Research and Preparation: Take the time to research and find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Understanding the different types of therapy and finding a therapist you feel comfortable with can help you feel more prepared.
Acceptance of Help: Are you open to receiving help from a trained professional? Recognizing that you may benefit from the expertise of a therapist is a positive step toward readiness.
Trust in the Therapeutic Process: Trust that the therapist is there to support you and work with you collaboratively. Building trust in your therapist is an essential aspect of successful therapy.
If you find that you meet many of these criteria, it's a good indication that you may be ready for therapy. However, if you're unsure, it's perfectly acceptable to reach out to one of our therapists for a free initial consultation or assessment. They can help you evaluate your readiness and discuss your concerns and goals for therapy. Remember that seeking help is a courageous step, and our therapists are trained to provide support and guidance throughout the process.
