 You Have Questions, We Have Answers

  • Yes, we are currently accepting new clients! Complete our “Get Started” form to let us know you are interested in scheduling a first time appointment, and one of our therapists reach out to you in 1-2 buisness days.

  • We are considered “out-of-network” providers. Therefore, we do not take insurance. However, if you have PPO insurance, then you may receive partial reimbursement. We provide you with super-bills, or a receipt of our services, that you can submit to your insurance company. Ask us for our “cheat sheet” for questions to ask your insurance company to determine your co-pay in advance.

  • Our flat rate is $100-$200 for individuals, couples and family therapy. Each therapy appointment is 50 minutes in duration. We only accept credit card payments at this time. Upon booking your first appointment, we require credit card information to reserve your slot. However, there will be no charge until the day of your booking.

  • In order to make our services available to those of varying financial circumstances, we offer limited sliding scale fees based on need. When determining your the level of need, please come prepared to identify your ideal “high” and “low” of a payment range that we will attempt to work within.

  • For the strongest therapeutic results, we recommend meeting at a weekly frequency. Provided that it takes us 2-3 sessions to formulate a treatment plan, we want you to benefit from our clinical interventions sooner than later. Once you begin to experience relief from your symptoms, adjusting to bi-weekly sessions, or meeting as needed, will be appropriate.

  • We offer both virtual and in-person therapy appointments. For virtual appointments, you will need to be in the state of California at the time of your appointment. Fifteen minutes prior to your virtual appointment, our HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform will email you a direct link to the appointment in your email.

  • Irvine Family Counseling is a small group practice of clinicians selectively chosen for a number of reasons, namely: 1) Their adherence to ethical and legal standards, 2) Their embodiment of the company’s mission to provide a quality of service unmatched anywhere else, 3) Their utmost respect of others with regard to all issues of diversity, 4) Their values and commitment to their own journey of growth both on and off the clock, and 5) Their innate qualities of empathy, compassion and relatability which allow others to feel safe, respected, and heard.

    Most importantly, clinicians at Irvine Family Counseling treat each person like family by responding to, and genuinely care for, the delicate needs of those with a variety of mental health challenges.
