Frequently Asked Questions

Below, you will find the answer to many common questions that people have about Angel City Therapy. If you have a question that is not covered below, please contact us at info@AngelCityTherapy.com. We would love to answer any other questions you might have!

  • Our fee for individual therapy ranges from $150-$225 and $175-$250 for couples therapy, with some of our therapists offering income slide scale slots. To learn more, visit our Full Team website page that covers our team's specialties and fees.

  • In general, meetings will last for 50 minutes for both telehealth and in-person therapy sessions.

    For couples, sessions can range from 50-90 minutes or more depending on the need.

  • Some of our therapist have a limited number of income sliding scale slots.

    A client’s eligibility for a sliding scale slot will take into account their income, the money they have access to (trusts, savings, etc.), and any assistance they receive from others (parents, significant other(s), work, etc.) for living expenses (food, rent, phone, car insurance, etc.). It is based on household income if you share fees with a significant other/others.

    Income sliding scale slots are designed for individuals who would experience hardship if they were to pay the full fee vs. others who could more easily pay my full fee knowing it would be considered a financial investment in their health and well-being. The way our sliding scale works, those who pay our full fee make it possible for us to offer lower sliding scale slots for others in need. If you are interested in a sliding scale fee, please reach out or set up a free phone consultation with us to see what is currently available and where you would fall in our income sliding scale.

  • We are not "in-network" providers for any insurance companies. Instead, we are considered an "out-of-network" providers. If you have out-of-network benefits with your insurance company, you may be able to submit a receipt from our services to your insurance company to receive reimbursement.

  • We require clients to keep a credit card or chargeable card on file. We accept most HSA (health savings account), MSA (medical savings account), and FSA (flexible spending account) cards as well. Card information will be collected when you complete the intake paperwork. Clients’ information and cards are stored using a secure electronic health record system.

  • The frequency of sessions will vary from client to client based on their needs, availability, and financial means. Most commonly, we see clients either weekly or biweekly. We recommend that clients start weekly to get to know you and to help you start finding relief quicker. Once they are feeling more stable, treatment can then transition to biweekly meetings. We will only see clients biweekly if a client's therapy needs can be met with this frequency.

    Additionally, we do not see clients more than once a week; if weekly therapy is not enough support, we will provide referrals for services that offer more care. During a free phone consultation, we can assess your specific needs and make recommendations on the frequency of sessions we think would be best for you.

  • The length of therapy treatment will vary from client to client based on their therapy goals, progress toward those goals, and any limitations clients might have (schedule, financial feasibility, etc.). During the phone consultation and intake session, we can assess your individual needs and treatment goals to provide a more accurate estimation. Generally, many individuals will see significant improvements within 3-6 months.
