Getting started is simple. Reach out through the contact form, call the office at 949-565-5224, or email me at Aly@AlyGiermannTherapy.com. I’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

I offer therapy exclusively via secure Telehealth sessions throughout California. Online therapy can be especially helpful if you’re juggling work or school, commuting, travel, parenting, chronic health concerns— or if you just prefer therapy that doesn’t require sitting in traffic.
I do not provide any in-person services.
-
I do not take insurance or bill insurance directly. However, I provide a superbill so client's can obtain reimbursement through submitting a claim with their insurance. I always encourage folks to reach out to their insurance provider and ask about out-of-network mental health benefits. The insurance carrier should be able to advise on how much reimbursement a client can expect to receive back.

Sessions are $150 for a 50-55min appointment.
Therapy is an investment in your long-term well-being, not just a weekly appointment. My fees reflect the extensive training, ongoing education, and preparation that go into providing thoughtful, ethical care, as well as the costs of maintaining a private practice. I believe in being transparent about fees and I’m happy to discuss them with you. If cost is a concern, we can explore options such as insurance reimbursement, limited sliding-scale availability, or referrals to other resources, so that you can find the support that feels right for you.
A Good Faith Estimate will be provided to clients to promote transparence with fees.
-
Meeting weekly to start is recommended. This helps establish a strong therapeutic relationship, builds consistency, and supports active integration of new coping skills.
Depending on your availability and potential financial constraints we can also meet bi-weekly or monthly.
The frequency of therapy often tapers down with time and with the reduction of stressors and nagging symptoms.
