Questions from San Diego clients.
Is there an office in San Diego?
No. Every session is by secure video from anywhere in California, from La Jolla to Chula Vista.
I work at a hospital or lab. Can I do sessions there?
Yes, from any private room where you can speak freely. Many clients use a closed office or a parked car.
Will anything go through my health plan?
No. Nothing is billed to insurance, so there is no claim and no diagnosis code sent to a payer.
Why $400 when other San Diego therapists charge less?
You are paying for Martha herself, every session, with no insurer in the record and no waitlist. The fee is the same for everyone.
If it can't wait for a session
Call or text 988, or San Diego Access and Crisis Line, 24/7.
Martha's practice is not a crisis service. Both lines are free and answered around the clock. In an emergency, call 911.

Fees, with context
What $400 actually buys.
One fee for everyone, private pay only, the first session and every one after. Here is what is in it.
- 01
Martha, every session
The clinical co-founder of a private-pay network, and the only clinician in this practice. The person you book is the person you see, never an associate.
- 02
Nothing filed
No insurer and no diagnosis code sent to a payer, so there is nothing an employer, a studio or a licensing board can request from one.
- 03
Either language
Fully clinical in English and Spanish, with the same depth in both, switching whenever you do.
