I offer a 20-minute complimentary Zoom consultation to discuss what you need, answer any questions you might have, and help you get a feel for whether we are a good fit. Please email me to set up this initial conversation.

I am available for in-person sessions in my Japantown/Lower Pacific Heights office in San Francisco. I work via secure video with Californians, New Yorkers, and digital nomads.

I offer a 20-minute introductory consultation. Subsequent individual psychotherapy sessions are 45 minutes. Sessions for couples are 60 minutes. Session frequency is variable. I meet with people a minimum of once a week. Should time, energy, and financial constraints allow, we may decide to meet more often as there is considerable evidence to suggest that higher frequency treatment leads to the most sustainable long-term change.

Individual therapy: $300 Couples: $425 I reserve a number of hours in my schedule each week for those in need of a significantly reduced fee. These hours are currently booked up but please don’t hesitate to check in as that can change. If I am not able to accommodate you, I will be more than happy to provide a referral to an appropriate colleague or clinic.I bill monthly and accept payment via Zelle, CASHapp, Venmo, and credit card.

I do not bill insurance directly but upon request I can provide you with paperwork to submit to your insurance provider for out-of-network reimbursement.

Psychotherapy works best with regular sessions so I request that you do your best to honor your scheduled appointments. Since your appointment time is reserved just for you, I require at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel. I do understand that conflicts and illness can arise with little notice, however, and I am always happy to try to reschedule under such circumstances. If, though, we cannot find a workable time to reschedule or you prefer to cancel, you will be charged for the session.

I am most easily reached via email at tessa.d.addison@gmail.com.If you prefer, please feel free to leave me a voicemail at 917.543.5951. In either case, I will get back to you as soon as I am able, usually within 24 hours.
