Playa Vista Therapy: Stephanie Mintz, MA, MFT

Introduction: (I don't take insurance but can provide a superbill to go towards out of network coverage. Many people ask about insurance and there is very important information to consider. I am not discouraging using health insurance but want everyone to have knowledge to make an educated decision. With couples counseling the only way there is possible coverage is if one person has a medical condition and is given a medical diagnoses (ie: anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, etc). If that is the case, then a claim can be submitted from a therapist that takes insurance or a superbill can be given and can be submitted by the individual and go towards out of network coverage. I want everyone to be aware that once a diagnoses is in your records it may affect future applications for life insurance, disability insurance, government employment, security clearances, etc. Also, now with Obamacare, preexisting conditions aren't an issue but as we don't know what will happen with our healthcare preexisting conditions may come back and then diagnoses' could affect insurance.)

"Am I in the right relationship?" "Why can't I stay in a relationship?" "Why do we fight all the time?" "Why can't I find love?" “What should I do when I think/or discover my partner is cheating?” “Can my relationship/marriage survive infidelity?” “How do we move forward after an affair?” “Will I ever be able to trust again?” “How can we deal with addiction in our relationship?” "I am frustrated with my job!" "Life is so stressful!" "Was relocating the right decision?" "How do I talk to my boss?" "How do I meet new people and make friends?" "I should be further along by now!" The work we do together will be active and problem solving. We will determine what the problem is and how to get you to a better place. The therapy is engaging while we create a partnership to create the life you aspire. Life can be stressful, confusing and disappointing. Having someone with whom you can share your feelings and innermost thoughts can help you through those difficult times. I work on a sliding scale as I believe everyone needs the opportunity to have a safe place to fall and someone to help them put the pieces back together. As your therapist, I will empower you to strive for the changes you desire so you can find and maintain happiness and balance in your life. The tools you learn in therapy will continue to be useful throughout the years. The length of time in counseling may vary. The techniques, insight and self-awareness that are gained will be rewarding and valuable for a long time to come. At this time I do not accept insurance. I do accept cash, check or credit/debit card.
