Therapy is a confidential space where individuals have the opportunity to speak with a licensed professional about personal experiences, feelings, and thoughts, free of judgment. 

Therapy can assist individuals with gaining insight and awareness into past experiences, current challenges, and barriers, as well as developing new coping skills. 

Types of Therapy

Individual, Couples, and Family

Please refer to each clinician’s experience, as not all clinicians provide every type of therapy. 

Getting Started

Screening & Consultation: each incoming referral will be screened by our awesome office manager, Rebecca. Thereafter, Rebecca will schedule you for your complimentary 15-minute consultation via telephone. 

The purpose of the consultation is for you and your therapist to learn a little bit about each other, make sure it is a good fit, and answer applicable questions. If both the patient and the clinician agree to move forward, you will be scheduled for an intake.

Assessment/Intake Session (45-60 miniutes): one of our clinicians will conduct a complete mental health assessment. This information helps to inform treatment, so that we can best support you in the in the therapeutic setting. 

Typically, the formal assessment takes 1-3 appointments to complete, but you are only ever charged the assessment fee one time. After the one-time assessment charge, the fee drops to the standard therapy rate.

Subsequent Therapy Sessions (45-50 minutes): After the intake is completed, you will work on building rapport with your clinician and targeting your specific treatment goals.

What's the difference between a licensed and associate clinician?

Licensed clinicians have completed an undergraduate degree, graduate degree, clinical internship, and thousands of post-graduate clinical training hours (2-6 years), under the direct supervision of a licensed mental health clinician. They have passed 2 state licensing exams allowing them to practice independently, and they obtain required continuing education units on a biannual basis, to maintain licensure.

Associate clinicians have completed an undergraduate degree, graduate degree, clinical internship, and are in the process of completing thousands of clinical training hours (2-6 years) under the direct supervision of a licensed mental health clinician and qualified clinical supervisor, as they prepare for licensure. Some associates have already passed their first licensing exam, and will become eligible to test for the CCE (California Clinical Exam) upon earning all of their hours.

At TGN, We believe in whole person care. This means that while we are supporting your mental health and providing therapy, we may notice the need for additional support. 

We provide case management services in conjunction with therapy, to help make sure that you are linked to appropriate referrals and resources. 

We also work collaboratively with your other healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care, and make sure you are cared for as a whole person. 

There is no additional fee for case management services, as these services are provided in the context of your therapeutic sessions.

If there is work done outside of the therapeutic session (documentation requests, coordinating care with other providers), this work may be billed at a pro-rated, hourly fee. All charges are documented in our consents and will be discussed prior to billing.

 We are excited to announce that we will be offering support groups beginning September 2022! 

Group therapy is a confidential space where participants have the opportunity to gain support from licensed professionals, while in the company of like-experienced individuals. 

Group therapy can assist participants with gaining insight, decreasing shame, isolation, and stigma, building connections, developing tools, and processing shared experiences.

Getting Started

Please contact us if you're interested in joining one of our groups! 

Groups start off with an initial screening, complimentary 15-minute clinician led consultation, and initial assessment. 

Group Format

All of our groups are closed groups (the same cohort throughout), consisting of 8 sessions (90 minutes each), and are clinician led by two facilitators. Groups have a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 participants.

Group Fees

Complimentary group consultation (15 minutes): where you will meet with one of our facilitators, learn about the group/ask any applicable questions, make sure the group is the right fit. We reserve the right to refer out/deny access to any of our groups, based upon the clinical needs of the group.

Assessment/Intake Session (45-60 minutes), $175: where one of our facilitators will conduct a complete mental health assessment. This information helps to inform our treatment, so that we can best support you in the group setting.

Payment for the assessment is due at time of service.

Weekly Group Sessions (90 minutes), $65/group (total of 8 groups): where you will partake in a curriculum guided process, psychoeducational, skill-based group, led by two mental health clinicians.

*If the assessment takes longer than 1 session, the cost is $125 for each subsequent session. Typically, we are able to complete assessments within 1 session.

Please note: the assessment is considered a separate service from the group sessions and is non-refundable, even if you and/or the clinician decide after completing the assessment, that the group is not an appropriate fit. Sometimes we require someone be under the care of an individual therapist as a contingency to joining one of our groups, depending upon clinical presentation. 

We offer complimentary consultations, prior to the assessment, to appropriately screen, refer out if needed, and answer all of your questions prior to moving forward. 

The good news: if you are already being seen or have previously been seen by one of our clinicians, you do not need to complete another assessment; you are able to join any of our groups if you and your clinician deem it an appropriate fit. 

Additionally, if after participating in one of our groups, you want to move forward with individual therapy with one of our clinicians, you will not need to complete another assessment. Please note, this applies only to individual therapy only, as couples therapy requires an assessment of both partners, and will be billed accordingly.

Please note: each participant is required to pay for the entire group series ($65/group, 8 groups = $520.) There are absolutely no refunds for missed group sessions, regardless of circumstance. 

Payment for groups may be paid in full, or split evenly between 2 or 3 payments. 

All payment is required prior to the onset of groups, and is non-refundable. If your group balance has not been paid prior to the onset, you will not be able to partake in the group and you will not be refunded for any payment already received. In the event that you pay for the group and change your mind or are no longer able to attend the original group, we will not be able to refund you, but we will try our best to fit you into another group cohort at a later time, though this is not a guarantee. Groups are non-refundable.

Billing

We do not accept insurance at this time. While we do not accept insurance, many individuals with PPO plans/OON (out of network) benefits, can get reimbursed for some or all of their OON mental health services. 

We cannot guarantee reimbursement and we do not work directly with insurance. We can provide a superbill for attempted insurance reimbursement, upon request. It is the sole responsibility of the patient to attempt to obtain insurance reimbursement.

We recommend contacting your insurance provider to learn more about your possible OON benefits. 

Sliding Scale 

At TGN, each clinician maintains a couple of sliding scale slots (reduced fee) on their caseloads. 

Sliding scale slots are reserved for individuals who are unable to access therapy through their insurance, and are unable to afford the full out of pocket fee. 

Sliding scale slots are limited, income-based, and offered at the therapist's discretion. 

Sliding scale slots are only available for individual, couples, and family therapy; we are unable to offer sliding scale for groups.

Please contact us for information regarding superbills, and limited sliding scale slots.
