How do I schedule an appointment with Jennifer?

You can click here, text 310-400-6531 or email JR@JenniferLRobertson.com.

What could I expect before, during and after my first session?

Before we begin, you’ll receive a link to your free Simple Practice client portal. Simple Practice will be the place that you receive informed consent and any other documents, engage in HIPPA compliant messaging, see my availability and make changes to your schedule. All paperwork is shared and signed electronically. During our first session, we’ll discuss what you’d like to get out therapy and goals for treatment. At the end of the first session, we’ll discuss if we are a good fit and how we will proceed. You are welcome to ask questions throughout the process so you feel comfortable.

What is the length and frequency of sessions?

Sessions are usually 50 minutes and once a week (typically at the same date and time each week); however, if you need a longer session or an increased frequency (more than once a week), please contact me and we can discuss availability and your goals for the longer or more frequent sessions.

How do I pay for sessions?

All clients are required to have an active credit or debit card in Simple Practice for automatic payment after session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is therapy covered by insurance?

Since I am an out-of-network provider, I can provide superbills (documents reflecting your session payment/s) so that your insurance company may reimburse you directly for therapy per your benefits plan. It is important that you contact your provider to understand your out-of-network benefits before starting therapy.

What are the fees for therapy sessions?

Currently individual 50 minute therapy sessions are $160 per session. Conjoint (more than 1 person), partners and family 50 minute therapy sessions are $180 per session. Fees for more frequent and longer sessions are discussed prior to scheduling. Automatic payments are processed at the time of session. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate per the No Surprises Act. Annual increases are communicated in writing and/or via the Good Faith Estimate document. Once you provide your contact information, Simple Practice will send you a Good Faith Estimate detailing the fees associated with therapy. For more information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-368-1019.

Is there a fee for canceling or asking to reschedule?

At least 24 hours prior notice (provided through Simple Practice client messaging or email at JR@JenniferLRobertson.com) is required for all cancellations and requests for rescheduling. If you cancel or request to reschedule session without at least 24 hours prior notice, your credit card on file will be charged the full session fee. There are times when I might be able to accommodate a rescheduled session later the same week and can apply the session fee.
