Free Telephone Consultation
Dr. London is happy to provide a free 30 minute telephone consultation
to potential clients.
Practice Philosophy
Dr. London recognizes the need for a collaborative therapeutic
relationship. You and Dr. London will decide together on the goals for
therapy. This will ensure that you are an active part of the
therapeutic process. Goals will be revisited throughout the therapy as
they may change over time. Dr. London takes an active role in therapy
by both actively listening to your concerns and by teaching new
skills. A sense of humor is also appropriately introduced in the
sessions to help with the hardest of times.
Fees
Fees are collected in full at the time of service unless Dr. London
has agreed to bill your insurance.
Fees vary depending on the service and are always calculated to be
reasonable as compared to other professionals in the bay area.
Using Insurance
Dr. London has contracts with several insurance companies including
Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Managed Health Network, and
PacifiCare. With these insurance companies you will only be
responsible for your co-pays.
Other insurances can be used if they are PPO plans, but you must be
aware of
your coverage for psychotherapy
your coverage for an out-of-network provider
the amount of your deductible
the number of visits allowed per calendar year
any limitation on the amount the policy will pay per session
Cancellation Policy
Appointments need to be rescheduled and cancelled at times. Please
call as soon as possible. Dr. London has a 48-hour cancellation
policy, which means that if an appointment is not rescheduled or
cancelled 48 hours before the appointment, the appointment will be
charged to your account. Please note that most insurance companies do
not contribute to missed appointments so you will be charged for the
entire session not just your co-pay.
