Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long will I be in therapy?
    Counseling can be short-term, long-term, or somewhere in between! There is no pre-determined amount of time. It completely depends on what is right for you.
  • How do I know if I need counseling?
    Engaging in counseling is a personal decision. There is no “checklist”. If you feel like you may benefit from talking to a trained, non-judgmental listener in a safe space, counseling will likely be helpful.
  • How long does each session last?
    Typically, you will meet with your counselor once a week, for 45 minutes. However, we assess each situation on an induvial basis.
  • Do you offer TeleHealth?
    Yes. All of the clinicians at Sonoma Life Solutions offer therapy sessions via video or in person.
  • How do I get started?
    The first step is to contact our Referral Coordinator. You can fill out the "Contact Us" form here on the website, email Referrals@SonomaLifeSolutions.com or call 707-216-1727.

  • Do you accept insurance?
    Yes, Sonoma Life Solutions accepts most insurances, including Partnership. Please be aware that insurance may not be utilized for court-related services.
  • Good Faith Estimate Notice
    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care 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 have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
