    Happy to discuss which option is best for you and how out-of-network benefits can help offset some of the cost during our call!

  • I reserve a limited number of sliding scale slots for clients facing financial barriers. Once matched, rates remain effective for at least a year. To see if you qualify, please reach out by phone (818‑652‑3495) or email, tanyasamuelianmft@yahoo.com.

  • You can book directly using the Book A Session Today button at the top of the site. If you’d like to ask questions first, complete the form on the Contact page and I’ll respond promptly.

  • I choose not to work with insurance companies so I can provide you with the highest level of care—free from restrictions on session length, treatment plans, or diagnoses. This allows me to invest more time into preparing for your sessions, tailoring care to your unique needs, and coordinating with other providers when needed.

    Another important reason: keeping your records private. When you go through insurance, your mental health diagnosis and treatment details may be stored in medical records that could be accessed when applying for certain jobs, life insurance, or disability coverage. Choosing private pay helps you maintain full confidentiality.

    While I don’t bill insurance directly, I can provide a Superbill (an itemized receipt) for you to submit to your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits. Many clients with PPO plans receive 30–90% reimbursement—but it’s always a good idea to check with your provider about your specific coverage.

    I partner with Mentaya, a company that can get you reimbursed 50-80% for therapy using your “out-of-network” benefits.

    It's a service I'm happy to offer my clients who want to work with me, and may want/need to use their benefits to do so.

  • Weekly sessions are standard for building momentum and meaningful connection. From there, we can adjust according to your goals and what’s sustainable for you.
