1. Consultation. Please contact me by email (info@alexandrarossphd.com), phone, or text (510-210-3693) to schedule a 10- to-15-minute phone consultation. During this conversation, we will discuss your/your family’s needs and if I will be a good fit for you.

2. Questionnaires/Forms. Before your first session, I will send you intake forms via my secure online system. I will review this information in advance of our first appointment.

3. Intake Assessment. Our first appointment(s) will be an intake assessment, scheduled as one 2-hour or two 1-hour sessions. After the intake, I will share my recommendations so we can collaborate on treatment goals.

4. Therapy. Therapy schedules can vary. Most clients choose to schedule weekly 50-minute therapy appointments to work actively toward treatment goals.

I provide in-person appointments out of my office in Berkeley, California and telehealth therapy throughout the state of California. Therapy may include individual, family, or caregiver sessions. I am also happy to consult with your/your child’s medical providers and school supports as a part of the therapy process.

My office is equipped with a HEPA air filter and windows may be left open, weather permitting. Preferences around masking will be discussed in advance of your first appointment. I am happy to wear a mask if that is most comfortable for you or to remain unmasked.

I am an out-of-network provider with all insurance carriers.

If you have a PPO, you may be eligible to get 60-80% of the session fee reimbursed. I would be happy to provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. If you have a flexible savings account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA), you may also be able to apply those funds to appointments.

1) Call your insurance provider at the number listed on the back of your insurance card​

2) Ask your provider what percentage is covered for out-of-network providers and if there is a deductible

3) Ask if they set limits on the total amount reimbursed per session. If so, ask how much they reimburse for the following "CPT Codes", otherwise known as a procedure codes:

90791 (the first intake appointment)

90834 (a typical 45-minute individual psychotherapy session)

90847 (family therapy, 50 minutes)
