I would love to hear from you!

Please contact me by phone at (510) 689-1608, by email at marisa@marisagordonpsychotherapy.com, or fill out this form, and we can schedule a 15-minute complimentary intake phone call to determine whether we would be a good fit for each other for ongoing psychotherapy.

Weekly therapy is prioritized over less frequent sessions because the regularity fosters a more continuous and impactful therapeutic process. This means that together we will find a consistent time and day to meet every week.

There are some exceptions to meeting weekly, including if you have made significant progress and you are phasing out of therapy or if there is a financial barrier to meeting weekly.

Individuals: 50 min | $180

Minors & Families: 50 min | $195

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for those with financial hardship.

I am an in-network provider with UC Berkeley SHIP/Wellfleet Insurance.

I am an out-of-network provider for other insurance companies. However, I offer superbills each month, which are receipts of services that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

The cost of psychotherapy reflects the extensive investment in education, training, and ongoing professional development to offer the highest quality care. Beyond session time, I dedicate significant hours to case management, treatment planning, and continuing education to stay abreast of the latest therapeutic approaches. Liability insurance, necessary for safeguarding both clients and therapists, adds to the overhead as well as HIPAA-compliant software, and office space. The personalized, client-centered nature of psychotherapy limits the number of clients I can see in a day to ensure each individual receives the attention they deserve. While it may seem costly, therapy is an investment in your well-being, and I am committed to providing a safe, confidential space for healing and growth.

You have the right to receive a “good faith estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental healthcare will cost.

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a good faith estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a good faith estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your good faith estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your good faith estimate.
