Counseling and Insurance Policy
At Palo Alto Therapy, we provide adults, children (ages 5+), and couples with cognitive behavioral therapy and personal counseling.
We offer support, assistance, and encouragement to help you achieve your goals.
Why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is highly recognized across the psychological community for its proven effectiveness in treating depression, anxiety, and stress-related problems. When used with our personable and down-to-earth approach, it can produce amazing rewards that change lives. Along the way, we offer support, assistance, and encouragement to help you achieve your goals.
Counseling Style
We work in a relaxed manner that creates a comfortable environment and encourages open discussions. While we have a calm and supportive approach, problems must be addressed to get results, and we’ll work with you through the difficult stretches to maintain forward progress. This keeps a positive big-picture approach that makes all the difference.
Our therapy focuses on the improvement of emotions, thoughts, and actions through a number of goal-oriented steps. During a client’s progression, we simultaneously help to develop coping skills and problem-solving tools. Our counselors also provide guidance, suggestions, and additional resources, including recommended activities between sessions. These work together as a cohesive approach that effectively helps clients understand and resolve their problems.
Insurance Policy
We do not accept health insurance directly. However, many insurances offer reimbursement for out-of-network providers and we are happy to discuss this with you prior to your first meeting. If needed we can even call for you to check your insurance benefits.
Our fees are consistent with professional therapists in the area (cash, check, or credit cards are accepted). Each session is 50 minutes in length, however 75 or 90 minute appointments are available and are often preferred.
Contact us to schedule an appointment by calling 650-461-9026 or use the form in the sidebar on the left (we actively monitor these responses).
