Yes, I offer sliding scale rates. If you feel like we’d be a good fit and you’re experiencing financial difficulties, please reach out here.

I take Aetna, Carelon Behavioral Health and Quest Behavioral Health through Headway. If you have one of those insurance plans, please reach out here and I’ll walk you through the Headway process.

Otherwise, I’m able to provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I see clients both in person and on Zoom. My office is located at 6310 San Vicente Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Sessions are scheduled weekly and I highly recommend clients to keep that weekly cadence for more effective work. However, I understand that exceptions happen and for those, there is a 24 hour cancellation policy.

Sessions typically last 50 minutes. Depending on needs and availability, 60-minute or 75-minute sessions may also be offered for relationship work (more than one person).

Every session is different but they’re always gentle, guided, and collaborative. We begin by checking in with what’s present for you, then we explore. We try to move through all the different channels of experience in the body and mind to help you expand your awareness and move beyond just thoughts. There's no pressure to perform or “get it right” — we follow your pace and your body’s cues.

That’s completely okay. No prior experience is needed. This work is experiential, we’ll go at your own pace and take things slow, step by step. Many clients new to therapy find that working with me is accessible, grounding, and respectful of their autonomy.

Finding the right therapist is an important step in your journey, as therapy is a personal and sacred space. Take some time to reflect on why you’re seeking support and what qualities or skills feel most important to you. It can also be helpful to meet with a few therapists for initial consultations, so you can find someone who truly feels like the right fit. Choosing a therapist is a lot like choosing a pair of shoes—you want one that feels comfortable, supportive, and just right for you.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through my contact form or email me at therapywithmeryl@gmail.com—I’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

You can reach me anytime via my contact form or email: therapywithmeryl@gmail.com. I aim to respond quickly—usually within one to two business day.
