Hello!

Below are some of our frequently asked questions. If you don’t find what you are looking for feel free to email us and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

FAQs

  • What is your fee?

    Initial 15 minute phone consultations are complimentary. Individual, couple and family sessions start at $175+. Each clinician has a unique fee based on their training, experience and specialities. Payment is due at the time of service. Cash, check, and credit card are accepted. Fees may be increased once a year reflecting inflation, increased overhead costs, and market rates.

    We offer a select number of sliding scale spots based on income and availability, however these sessions are limited and considered on a case by case basis. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to use if you are looking for sliding scale.

    If you’re unsure of where to begin contact us today and we can schedule a free 15 minute initial phone consultation to see how we can be help you.

  • Do you take insurance?

    We are not in network with any insurance plans. Fortunately many of our clients are able to use their out of network (OON) benefits to help cover the cost of therapy. This means they pay for sessions up front and receive financial reimbursement directly from their insurance. If you have a PPO, then you have out of network (OON) coverage but the % of reimbursement for sessions depends on your specific plan.

    We understand that navigating the insurance world can be quite confusing. You may be unsure about your OON benefits which makes estimating the cost of therapy difficult to predict when you are researching potential therapists. We want to make this process as easy as possible so read below to find out how we can help you verify your OON coverage and receive information about your potential reimbursement for your treatment.

  • I have a PPO. How do I use my out of network benefits to help cover the cost of therapy?

    Using out of network benefits to help cover the cost of therapy can be complicated, frustrating and honestly quite discouraging. But- it doesn’t have to be. To make the process seamless, we use Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on therapy—without the hassle of filing claims themselves.

    How does it work?

    1. We confirm your out of network benefits for you- just fill out this form.

    2. Schedule your complimentary consultation with your preferred therapist and we will go over information regarding your reimbursement and an estimated cost of your reimbursement for our services during the consultation call.

    Not sure who your preferred therapist is? No problem! Fill out the contact form here and let us know a little bit about you and what you are looking for. From there, we’ll guide you in finding the therapist who’s the best fit for your needs.

    3. Then after each session,

    We submit claims for you—you don’t have to do a thing.
    ✔ Mentaya handles the reimbursement process with your insurance.
    ✔ If your insurance offers out-of-network benefits, you’ll receive reimbursement directly.

    (Note: Mentaya charges a small fee for claim processing, handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies, but only if you receive reimbursement.) It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.

    Have any questions? Please let us know! We are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

  • I'm not sure I can afford therapy. Do you offer any lower cost fee options?

    We believe everyone deserves access to quality therapy. That’s why each of our clinicians offer a limited number of reduced-fee spots for clients who are eager to start therapy but are seeking a more flexible fee option.

    If cost is a concern, please reach out—we’re happy to discuss options.

    Don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation to discuss this further.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Celynna upholds a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you must cancel or reschedule your session, we ask that you give her at least 48 hours notice otherwise you will be held responsible for the fee of your session. All sessions must be rescheduled or cancelled through your client portal. Phone calls, texts or emails are not an accepted form of cancellation. Please be aware that insurance does not cover late cancellations or missed sessions.

    Associate clinician’s at Beachy Feels Therapy may uphold a different cancellation policy that they will go over with you during your first session.

  • How long are sessions and how often do we meet?

    Sessions are typically 50 minutes long on a weekly basis. There are times when we may meet more or less frequently depending on your needs.

  • Do you offer Telehealth or online sessions?

    Yes. Beachy Feel Therapy currently offers video sessions to residents of California via a secure HIPPA compliant platform.

  • Do you offer therapy for children or teens?

    Yes! The clinicians at Beachy Feels Therapy love working with adolescents/ teens. We work with any adolescent above the age of 13. If you are looking for a therapist for a child who is younger than 13 please contact us as we may be able to help you via parenting support or refer your to a local therapist who works with children.

    Each teen therapist has their own specialty so we are confident that we can find someone to help you and your teen. You can learn more about teen therapy here.

  • I want my teen to start therapy. How does that work?

    If you are bringing your adolescent in for therapy, your therapist may request an initial parent session to allow the parents and the therapist time to gather information and discuss goals for the teen’s therapy. Depending on the age of your child and the situation, we may decide that the therapist continue to meet with just your child or we may decide that a combination of individual sessions with your child and family therapy is better suited for your goals. Depending on the needs and situation, parent sessions may be scheduled periodically to touch base on your concerns regarding your child.

  • Where is your office?

    We have 2 locations. The Beachy Feels Therapy Redondo Beach office is located at 235 Avenida Del Norte Suite B Redondo Beach, CA 90277 in the Riviera Village. We are located on the second story of the back building. If you are lost or are having trouble finding the office please contact your therapist. The San Clemente office is located at 324 Avenida de la Estrella, San Clemente, CA 92672

  • How do I schedule a consultation or appointment?

    You can request an appointment or consultation with any of our therapists by booking online here. That way you can schedule quickly and at a time that works for you. Once you’ve submitted the request you will receive confirmation of your consultation or appointment via email. You can also fill out this form and we will get back to you. We can be reached via email at therapywithcelynna@gmail.com or via phone call or text at (424) 262-3650.

  • What happens during the consultation call?

    The 15 minute consultation call is our opportunity to get a feel for whether or not we think we might be a good fit. Depending on your therapist, they may send you a brief questionnaire prior to your call to help them get a sense of what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. We will ask some follow up questions and encourage you to ask any questions you may have about how we work, our background/experience or any general therapy related questions. At the end of the call we may schedule our first appointment or we may provide you with referrals depending on your needs.

  • How do I find the right therapist?

    Your relationship with your therapist is such a unique experience. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and safe with your therapist. If you’re feeling judged, uncertain or if you aren’t sure if you’re getting anywhere in therapy then please tell you’re therapist how you are feeling! We love honesty from our clients and it may be something the two of you can work through. Otherwise, they would be happy to offer you referrals to someone who may be a better fit for you.

  • How long will I be in therapy for?

    The length of your treatment depends on your individual goals and commitment to your progress. Sometimes we see clients for a specific issue and we meet for a couple of months. Other times we see clients for over a year because they have decided that while they met their original goals, they enjoy the insight and confidence they gather from the deeper more long term work. At the end of the day, it’s totally up to you.

  • What are your hours?

    Staff therapists have their own individual schedules and hours. You can find out more about their availability by either contacting them directly here or book online with them here.

    As a new mom, Celynna has more limited availability. She typically sees clients online on Mondays, Tuesdays at the office from 10am-5pm or Thursdays online. Schedule an appointment with her here.

Transform Your Life with Therapy – Support for Anxiety, Depression, and Relationships

“I like to remind clients that therapy is an investment in their overall health and happiness. Many times, we view our physical health as more important than our emotional health. When our physical health deteriorates we immediately see or feel the negative effects. When our emotional health deteriorates it is easier to ignore the symptoms because they are not as tangible to us. Sometimes, we may even feel guilty or weak for needing someone to help us with our emotional health.

However, as time progresses we will inevitably learn that this deterioration on our emotional well-being affects all aspects of life. This is usually when people begin to consider seeing a therapist.”

With love,

Celynna
