During our initial conversation, we will discuss the main factors bringing you in for therapy and whether my practice is the right fit.

Psychotherapy Sessions
Are you facing career transitions, relationship issues, or challenging family dynamics?
We explore past patterns and how to overcome them in order to help you feel less “stuck” while chartering new and better paths for your future. Most people come to therapy because they realize there is something holding them back, and they are ready for change. If you feel overwhelmed or stuck in negative patterns or cycles, we work to identify and address these barriers so that you can overcome them with resilience.
We work together to build a path of lasting change. Whether you want to feel better and more motivated, improve your self-esteem, navigate difficult relationships, or manage stress, I provide you tools from traditional models of therapy and offer newer therapies like mindfulness and positive psychology.
FAQs
What are Dr. Wei’s fees?
You will be provided with information about our fees for the initial consultation and weekly sessions ahead of your sessions.
The fee schedule is a good faith estimate that will list all expected fees along with any relevant insurance codes if you are planning to file for out-of-network reimbursement.
Does Dr. Wei take insurance?
Dr. Wei’s practice does not take insurance or have any direct interaction with insurance companies. Your visits may be reimbursable if you have out-of-network benefits on your insurance plan. You will be provided with the typical billing codes so that you can ask your insurance company ahead of time whether reimbursement is possible and the reimbursement “adjusted rates” for these codes.
Any insurance-related questions can be discussed in session. If additional time with insurance issues is requested, this will be billed as outside session administrative time.
How do I find out about my out-of-network insurance benefits?
If you have out-of-network coverage or reimbursement, we recommend that you call your individual health insurance plan before scheduling an appointment to find out if you have out-of-network coverage, including information about your out-of-network deductible and adjusted rate of reimbursement.
How does billing work if I am looking to obtain out-of-network reimbursement?
Prior to your visit, you will be provided with an electronic invoice for your session— once paid, you may submit the receipt to your insurance plan as a claim to request for reimbursement to be sent directly to you. All information that the insurance company needs is listed on your receipt.
Dr. Wei does not have any direct contact with your insurance plan.
I already have a current therapist or psychiatrist. Does Dr. Wei provide second opinions or consultations?
Dr. Wei can offer a second opinion via a comprehensive consultation (set of 3 visits) after which you will be provided with recommendations from a holistic and integrated approach to treatment, including medications, supplements, nutritional changes, mindfulness therapies, and type of therapy recommended.
Do I need to be on medications in order to see Dr. Wei?
No— in fact, most of Dr. Wei’s clients are not on medications or are looking to minimize medications or doses by using talk therapy and mindfulness practices to reduce stress and anxiety. Dr. Wei can also prescribe medications as needed and discusses many other non-medication natural options, including evidence-based supplements or botanicals.
