Individual therapy sessions are $250 for 50 minutes. A limited number of reduced-fee spots are available for those who would otherwise not be able to access therapy. If cost is a barrier, I encourage you to reach out — I'm happy to discuss what's possible.

I am in-network with Aetna. If you carry a different insurance plan, you may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. Upon request, I provide a superbill that you can submit directly to your insurance provider.

To find out what your plan covers, call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following:

• Does my plan include out-of-network coverage for mental health?

• What is my annual deductible for mental health benefits?

• What is my co-insurance? (What percentage does the plan cover after the deductible is met?)

• Is there a limit on the number of sessions covered per year?

• What is the allowed amount for CPT code 90834?

Having this information before our first session will give you a clearer picture of what to expect cost-wise.

I offer virtual sessions only, available throughout California.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, a bit about your background, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. It's also an opportunity for you to get a feel for how I work and ask any questions you have. There's no pressure to share everything at once — we move at whatever pace feels right.

You can reach out through the contact form or email me at juliaburtlmft@gmail.com. I'll get back to you within 48 hours to schedule a free consultation call, where we can talk about what you're looking for and whether we might be a good fit.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before beginning services. As a client who is uninsured or who chooses not to use insurance, you are entitled to receive a written estimate of the cost of your care. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute it. For more information, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
