Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re considering therapy, you may have questions before you’re ready to reach out. I’ve gathered a few answers to help you get a sense of what starting might look like.
When you first get in touch, we can start with a short conversation about what brings you here and what you hope will change.
How do I know if we are a good fit?
A good fit matters in therapy. The best way to find out is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We can talk about what brings you here, what you hope will change, and whether working together feels right for you.
Where do you offer services?
I’m licensed in California and offer individual therapy in person in Irvine and by telehealth across California.
The meditation group meets online and is open to people outside California. It’s a meditation group, separate from individual therapy. Workshops take place in various locations. Email me at dr.biancahur@gmail.com to ask about a workshop.
What languages do you offer sessions in?
I offer sessions in English and Korean.
How long will therapy take?
Individual psychotherapy sessions last about an hour. How long we work together depends on your needs, what’s getting in the way, and what you’d like to change. We can discuss this in your consultation or first appointment.
What do you not treat?
My practice does not treat severe ongoing self-harm, severe substance use disorders, severe psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, or borderline personality disorder. If you’re unsure whether my practice can support your needs, you can ask during the free consultation.
What are your fees?
Individual psychotherapy is $250 for a one-hour session. The four-week online meditation group is $120.
Psychedelic integration typically ranges from $600 to $1,200. We’ll discuss the options and what fits your needs.
Do you take insurance?
I accept Aetna for individual psychotherapy. If you have a PPO plan, I can provide a monthly superbill. Your insurer decides whether it applies to your deductible or qualifies for reimbursement.
Do you take sliding scale fees?
I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots. We can discuss availability and your options during the free consultation.
What is the cancellation policy?
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. A cancellation fee applies with less notice.
