4. You get reimbursed by insurance!

Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.

Do you see clients in-person?

At this time, I offer online therapy only. This allows me to support college students and young adults throughout California and Florida, including those based in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and other parts of the state. All sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

Do you work with couples?

I do not currently work with couples or families. My practice is focused on individual therapy for college students and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity development, and life transitions.

This varies from person to person. Some people feel a sense of relief after the first session, while for others it may take multiple sessions to start feeling a shift.

How can I know if we are good match?

This is a great question… it’s important to feel comfortable and safe with your therapist.
