Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
Schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation so that we may discuss your needs and determine whether we would be a good fit. You may call (415) 949-1589, or email info@marlowtherapy.com, or use the form provided to get started.

Do you work with kids or teens?
Yes! Much of my work experience has been around working with teens and children. I enjoy working with youth.
Do you take insurance?
At this time, I do not accept insurance and am considered an out of network provider. I’d be happy to provide you an invoice of your monthly statements so you may submit a claim to your insurance for reimbursement.
I can’t afford therapy OR my insurance doesn’t reimburse for an outside provider.
What are my options?
I would be happy to discuss a sliding scale fee with you during the free consultation. A sliding scale means that I would adjust the therapy fee to make it more economical and is a case-by-case decision. Don’t let the current rate stop you from investing in yourself and your health. I am willing to adjust to your financial situation. I also offer biweekly appointments if you are unable to financially commit to weekly appointments.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations and re-scheduled sessions will be subject to a full session fee if not received at least 24 hours in advance. I can be reached by text or email to make schedule changes.
What types of payment do you accept?
I currently accept cash, check, credit, Venmo or Zelle.
What is your confidentiality policy?
All identifiable client information and everything discussed remains confidentiality. However, there are conditions at which I am mandated by law and ethically bound to break confidentiality and take the necessary precautions to prevent harm or danger.
This includes if there is a risk of imminent danger to my client or another person OR if there’s is suspicion of abuse to a child, dependent adult or elder. Once this information has been disclosed, I am legally required to take the steps necessary to protect the parties involved.This may involve informing the proper authorities or releasing information if the court of law issues a subpoena.
