Taking the step to begin therapy can feel both important and uncertain. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating a transition, or simply sensing that something deeper wants attention, this is a place to begin.

You’re welcome to reach out to schedule an initial consultation or to ask any questions about the process. We’ll take a moment to understand what you’re looking for and explore whether this feels like the right fit for you.

​Email or text are preferred methods of contact.

Private Pay
Private-pay sessions allow for a more flexible and individualized approach, without the limitations often required by insurance.

If you have questions about fees, insurance, or what option may be best for you, we’re happy to talk through this together.

​We understand that reaching out can feel like a big step. You’re welcome to take your time—when you’re ready, we’re here.
​
Insurance Panels:
​I am currently in-network on the following HMO or PPO Health Insurance Panels  (I do not take any EAP,  Medi-Cal or Medicare plans.)
​
  • ​Cigna/Evernorth 
  • ​Healthnet ​
  • BlueShield of California
  • Carelon Behavioral Health
  • Optum
  • United Healthcare
  • Sharp​

We can provide a superbill for anyone looking to use PPO, or any Out of Network (OON)  Plans and you may be able to get partial reimbursement from your insurance.

Coverage is different for every plan and every individual. Please check your eligibility, benefits, copayment or deductible to be met directly with your insurance company prior to starting therapy. 

When calling insurance companies, all claims will be billed under
Sol Play Child Therapy Inc.  (dba Sol Therapy.) and/or 
​Shirla de Magalhaes.

Under federal law, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your mental health care will cost.
  • This applies if you do not have insurance or are not using insurance for your sessions.
  • ​We will provide you with a written estimate of your expected charges before you begin treatment.
