Do you identify as a Christian or, perhaps, Exvangelical? My dual credentials—a PhD in Clinical Psychology and an MA in Theology—prepared me to address spiritual factors that might have influenced the issue(s) that prompted you to seek therapy.

Whether you wish to process spiritual trauma or integrate your faith into treatment, I commit to hold an open-hearted space for you.

I’m delighted to meet with you and your partner. If you’re not yet married, the benefits of investing in couples therapy before your wedding will outlast the event itself. Even if you’ve already tied the knot, however, it’s not too late. Inviting a professional into the problematic areas of your relationship can strengthen your marriage. Ready to strengthen your union? Then let’s connect. I know emailing/texting is popular, but please call me. A phone conversation will give you a more accurate picture of who I am.

Group for Givers (Professionals)

This group is open for IFS therapists or practitioners who wish to energize their work. This is not a consultation group. Rather, each member will have the chance to sculpt their parts by asking other group members to embody them.

Consider applying to this group if you:

– feel unfulfilled in your work as a practitioner/therapist,
– are held back by anxiety from reaching your aspiration,
– feel stuck in your career,
– notice a competitiveness with other therapists/practitioners,
– or desire something more for your practice.

Meeting time: every Friday, 9-10:30 am PDT. Members are asked to attend every session.

Length: 10 weeks.

Format: Zoom.

Cost: $750, payable upfront. 

Potential members will meet with Dr. Audrey one-on-one before the group begins to determine goodness of fit.

Group will begin once all slots are filled.

Group for Givers (Lay People)

This group is for non-mental health professionals who are aware of their tendency to be givers or caretakers. Consider applying to this group if any of the following resonates:

• You tend to put yourself last,
• deny or minimize your needs,
• find it hard to say no,
• are secretly worn out by all of the above,
• but can’t seem to stop giving more than what feels comfortable.

By joining this online group, you’ll have the chance to ask other group members to embody parts of you that cluster around your role as a giver/helper/caretaker. Seeing your parts embodied externally is a powerful way to befriend them, which is required before we can shift how your system operates.

Wouldn’t it be nice for you to keep giving, but without sacrificing yourself all the time?

Meeting time: every Tuesday afternoon for 10 weeks. Members are asked to attend every session.

Format: Zoom.

Cost: $750, payable upfront

Potential members will meet with Dr. Davidheiser one-on-one before the group begins.

Group will begin once all slots are filled.

NOTICE ON THE NO SURPRISE ACT

YOUR RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS

(OMB Control Number: 0938-1401)

When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.

WHAT IS “BALANCE BILLING”
(SOMETIMES CALLED “SURPRISE BILLING”)?

When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.

“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit.

“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care – like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.

YOU ARE PROTECTED FROM BALANCE BILLING FOR:

· EMERGENCY SERVICES

If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, the most the provider or facility may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments and coinsurance). You can’t be balance billed for these emergency services. This includes services you may get after you’re in stable  condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.

· CERTAIN SERVICES AT AN IN-NETWORK HOSPITAL OR AMBULATORY SURGICAL CENTER

When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections  not to be balance billed.

If you get other services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can’t balance  bill you unless you give written consent and give up your protections.

You’re never required to give up your protection from balance billing. You also aren’t required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.

WHEN BALANCE BILLING ISN’T ALLOWED, YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING PROTECTIONS: 

You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay out-of-network providers and facilities directly.

YOUR HEALTH PLAN GENERALLY MUST:

• Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance (prior authorization).

• Cover emergency services by out-of-network providers.

• Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits.

• Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-of-network services toward your deductible and out-of-pocket limit.

If you believe you’ve been wrongly billed, you may contact the California Department of Managed Care by visiting www.HealthHelp.ca.gov or calling 888-466-2219.
