Concierge Therapy FAQ - Your Questions Answered by Dr. Sharona Cohen

I have offices in Sherman Oaks, and I see clients virtually.

Online therapy works much like the in-person therapy. At first, it may seem odd, but I assure you we can get a lot done, even online, and get you moving forward as long as you are willing to invest in the process.

It is required that you leave a CC on file, Sessions will be billed automatically.

Please keep in mind I will need a form of payment on file for you before we start this process together.

Typically, sessions are 50-60 minutes long. However, we can change the length based on your needs. Sometimes, we will do 90-minute sessions, and sometimes, we will do 30-minute sessions. Sometimes, we will need to meet weekly, and sometimes, we will meet biweekly or once a month. Remember, this is all tailored to your needs, and we will adjust as we grow.

This is the time for me to get to know you and assess where you are and how we can move forward. We will discuss your symptoms and goals, and you can decide whether to move forward with me. It is also the best time to clarify expectations and define goals.

This is entirely up to you. I am just a guiding light, but ultimately, you are the boss!

You can fill out the contact form, call or text the listed number, and I will get back to you as soon as my day allows me.

The beauty of concierge therapy is that you can text or email me with concerns between our scheduled sessions, and we will decide together on the best course of action.

I strictly enforce a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel within 24 hours, you will be charged the full session fee. I respect your time and wish you do the same for me. 

Absolutely. I take your privacy very seriously and am entirely discrete. In fact, I keep analog notes in this digital world to protect your privacy. I will also never acknowledge you in public! If I see you out of the office, I do not know you; that way, you never have to worry about explaining who I am or how you know me to anyone unless, of course, you want to.

All I can say is that you get what you put into it. Just like going to the gym to train any of your other muscles, your brain will respond to the intensity and consistency you put forward. The more serious you take therapy, the more open you are, the better it works. 

We are a private pay therapy office which means we do not accept insurance. This approach is best for our clients because many of our clients want to avoid having mental health records and diagnoses from their visits. Some insurances provide out-of-network benefits that will partially reimburse you. We are happy to provide you with a super bill.
