Questions from San Jose clients.
Is there an office in San Jose?
No. Every session is by secure video from anywhere in California, so there is no drive down the 101 or the 280.
Will my company's plan or EAP see this?
No. Nothing is billed to insurance or an employer program, so there is no claim and no benefits report.
Can I do sessions from a campus?
Yes, from any private room where you can speak freely. A closed meeting room or a parked car both work.
Why $400 when my plan covers therapy?
Your plan pays for a therapist in its network, with a claim on file. $400 buys Martha herself, every session, with no claim and no waitlist.
If it can't wait for a session
Call or text 988, or Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Call Center, 24/7.
Martha's practice is not a crisis service. Both lines are free and answered around the clock. In an emergency, call 911.
Elsewhere in California
Other places she sees clients.
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.
- 04
