Bonnie L. Faber, MFT I offer convenient hours available to fit your schedule. You can usually arrange to have a first appointment within a few days. My standard fee is $130.00 per 50-minute hour. Clients who are seen more than once per week may receive a reduced per session fee. Additionally, I work with clients funded by the State of California Victims of Crime Program. I choose not to be on any managed care panels. The primary reason is the lack of confidentiality provided by managed care organizations. When working with a client through a managed care plan, I must disclose anything and everything related to my client's case to the managed care organization. Because the relationships I build with my clients and the work we do together are based on the highest standards of trust, I find my work and those relationships compromised by the lack of confidentiality offered by managed care plans. Additionally, these organizations often limit the number of sessions regardless of the needs of the client. And these organizations require an endless number of phone calls, forms, authorizations, etc. in order for me to do the work my clients come to me for. Insurance companies are also often unwilling to pay a fair fee consistent with and respectful of my years of training, experience and expertise. Thus, I do not accept managed care and am not on any insurance panels by choice. However, that having been said, I will be happy to review the terms of your insurance with you, as it may cover some of the cost of counseling.
I provide my services to the highest ethical standards and my relationships with my clients are strictly confidential. As such, I must inform you that the information provided in this Website is offered for informational purposes only; it is not offered as and does not constitute professional advice.
