Getting to know Carol Kosta

My name is Carol Kosta. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I hold a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, and I am a certified EMDR practitioner. Over the last 20 years, I have worked as a therapist with diverse populations in private practice, community-based programs, and facilities that treat mental health, eating disorders, and substance use disorders. I primarily use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Mindfulness, Art Therapy, Solution-Focused, and other strength-based approaches. Through compassion, empathy, and humor, I have helped clients gain insight, identify coping strategies, increase self-esteem, use healthy communication, improve relationships, and work through the stages of life. I understand that it takes strength and courage to participate in therapy, and I make intentional efforts to support and understand clients by checking in with them and being open to feedback.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
