FAQs About Dr. Kim’s Therapy Practice

Dr. Kim does not accept any insurances. By not accepting insurance, she’s able to provide a better level of care where her treatment decisions are not dictated by the insurance company, but rather for the patient’s best interest.

If you have out of network benefits with your insurance she will provide you with an invoice or super bill with all the codes that can be submitted for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance plan to determine your coverage.

Dr. Kim will explore with you and your child the full history and background of what is bringing you into seeking treatment at this point. It will include all relevant medical, psychiatric, behavioral, educational, and family history. She will then recommend the appropriate treatment based on the evaluation, be it medication, therapy, or most often than not, both.

At times, further testing and evaluation may be necessary before the best therapeutic modalities can be recommended.

Dr. Kim will listen to your concerns, and will work with you to come up with the best approach in finding the right balance of different treatment options.

Once you call or email Dr. Kim requesting an initial appointment, you’ll be getting a free 10 – 15 minute consultation to see if it is a right fit for you.

Adult initial evaluation sessions are one hour long.

Child initial evaluations are 90 minutes, where Dr. Kim will meet with your child individually first, if they are 10 years of age or up, for 30 to 45 minutes. Then, she’ll meet with parents for 15 – 30 minutes to review history and concerns. We will then all gather together for a summary of impressions and recommendations.
If the child is younger than 10, and/or unable to separate from parents, we will start with everyone until the child becomes comfortable enough to be seen individually as long as he/she can tolerate.

Follow-up sessions are typically 45 minutes long.

Family sessions can be one hour.
