Do You Offer Virtual or In-Person Sessions?
We offer in-person sessions at our office in Sherman Oaks and virtual sessions for clients located anywhere in California.

How long will it take?
At Lasker & Associates, we understand that the length of therapy varies for each individual. The timeline depends on the nature of the concerns, personal goals, and the pace that feels right for you. Every person’s journey is unique, and we honor that by tailoring our approach to meet your specific needs.

At the start of therapy, after a thorough assessment, we will discuss expectations and collaboratively determine a plan that works best for you. Our goal is to help you find relief as efficiently as possible while ensuring the process is ethical, respectful, and supportive of lasting change.

Ultimately, our success is measured by your progress—when you feel empowered to move forward, we know we’ve done our job well. And if our work together has been valuable, we hope you’ll feel confident referring a friend in need.

How long does each session last?
Each therapy session is typically 50 minutes and scheduled at the same time each week. Depending on your specific needs, sessions may be scheduled more frequently or spaced out accordingly to best support your progress.

How much does it cost?
Therapy is a meaningful investment of time, energy, and resources. To learn more about our therapists’ current fee schedule, please contact us at [email protected]. We’re happy to answer any questions and help you find the right fit for your needs.

Do you take insurance?
At Lasker & Associates, your health insurance may cover a portion of your therapy expenses. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to learn more about their policy for out-of-network providers. Be sure to ask about reimbursement rates and any limitations on the number of sessions covered.

Upon request, we are happy to provide a monthly Superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. If you have any questions about this process, we’re here to help guide you.

Good Faith Estimate Notice
Beginning January 1, 2022, federal laws regulating patient care include the No Surprises Act. Pursuant to this Act, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
