Candy Katoa, Psy.D.
Evidence-Based Therapy for Anxiety and OCD
2024 Update: Please note my practice is full and I'm no longer accepting new patients.
If you're interested in learning more about my services, we can schedule a time to talk by phone. I offer a free 10 minute phone consultation, where we can briefly talk about your concerns, and whether I have the experience and expertise to meet your needs. You can also ask me questions to see if I am a good match for what you are looking for in a therapist.
Complimentary Phone Consultation
Appointments
The first session will be spent getting to know you and hearing more about your concerns. This initial evaluation is 55 minutes long. The next session will be spent discussing these issues more in depth, so I can provide you with specific feedback and treatment recommendations. If we decide to work together, we can then schedule weekly appointments for therapy. Follow-up appointments are 45 minutes long. Longer appointments can be arranged if needed.
Fees
My fees are comparable to other psychologists who offer evidence-based therapy in San Francisco. We can discuss the specifics of fees during our initial phone consultation.
Payment is due by cash, checks, electronic transfer (Zelle), or credit card (visa, master, discover) at the beginning of each appointment.
Cancellation fees can be waived if you provide more than 24 hour notice for your cancellation.
I do not accept any insurance at this time. However, you can talk to your insurance company to see if they would reimburse you for seeing an "out of network" provider. If so, I can provide you with a monthly statement of the services received, so that you can submit that to your insurance for reimbursement.
Forms
To make the most of your first session, I will ask you to complete some forms beforehand. Please complete the following forms and bring them with you to your first appointment. You can also take a look at the HIPAA Privacy Notice and I can answer any questions you may have about patient privacy when we meet.
