Dr. Visser believes that finding the right psychologist for your child is a decision not to be taken lightly — which is why she offers a personal consultation to walk you through your needs, goals, and budget before anything else.
Dr. Visser keeps her fees private because every family’s situation is different. Rather than publishing a flat rate, she prefers to have an honest conversation about what your family needs, what your goals are, and what works for your budget.
She offers a complimentary 10-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions, get a sense of whether it’s the right fit, and discuss fees openly — with no obligation and no pressure.
Session fees are competitive with doctoral-level private practice rates in the Los Angeles area and reflect the depth of Dr. Visser’s training, experience, and the highly individualized care she provides.
A complimentary call to discuss your child's needs, your goals, and whether Dr. Visser is the right fit for your family.
Fees are discussed and agreed upon before treatment begins. You'll always know exactly what to expect.
A superbill can be provided upon request so you can seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider.
Dr. Visser offers a range of session formats tailored to the needs of the child, adolescent, or family. Fees are discussed during your initial consultation.
One-on-one sessions with the child or adolescent. Dr. Visser uses a tailored blend of CBT, play therapy, and creative modalities depending on the client's age, needs, and presentation.
Sessions that bring parents and caregivers into the therapeutic process. Dr. Visser equips families with the same frameworks and language as the child — creating consistency between the therapy room and home.
One-on-one sessions with a parent or caregiver — without the child present. Dr. Visser provides parent education, emotional support, and practical troubleshooting to help caregivers navigate challenges at home.
Assessments and diagnostics are conducted within the therapeutic process to inform diagnosis and guide treatment — not as standalone evaluations or for report generation.
Dr. Visser works within the legal system as an expert witness and evaluator for children and adolescents in court cases and depositions. She provides objective, clinical assessments and written documentation suitable for legal proceedings.
Dr. Visser is an out-of-network provider. She does not bill insurance directly, but can provide a detailed superbill upon request so you can seek reimbursement from your plan.
A superbill is an itemized receipt that contains everything your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network reimbursement claim. Many PPO plans reimburse a significant portion of out-of-network mental health services.
We recommend calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits before your first session.
No — Dr. Visser is a private-pay, out-of-network provider. She does not bill insurance companies directly. Payment is due at the time of each session.
Yes. Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can typically be used to pay for psychological services. Check with your plan administrator to confirm eligibility.
Most PPO and POS plans include out-of-network mental health benefits. HMO plans generally do not cover out-of-network providers. Contact your insurance company directly to confirm your specific benefits.
Reimbursement rates vary by plan. Typically, insurers apply your out-of-network deductible first, then reimburse a percentage of their “usual and customary” rate. Your insurer can give you a more specific estimate.
Dr. Visser accepts cash and personal check. Payment is collected at the time of each session.
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before beginning services with any healthcare provider, including mental health professionals.
Dr. Visser is committed to full transparency around fees and will provide a written Good Faith Estimate prior to your first appointment, outlining the expected cost of services based on your individual treatment plan.
If you have questions about your rights or would like a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your healthcare will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical services — including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. For questions or more information about your rights, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
