Question 1

What does "pre-licensed" mean?

Accepted Answer

I've completed my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and am gaining supervised clinical experience toward full licensure. I'm supervised by Jay Alarcon, LMFT (California LMFT134460), so my work is always guided by an experienced clinician.

I don't accept insurance. Sessions are $90, I accept HSA cards and major credit cards, and a sliding scale is available if you may be eligible.

Question 3

Do you offer in-person and online sessions?

Yes, both. I see clients in person in San Diego (Mission Valley) and online.

Question 4

Do you work with couples?
