Getting to know Gina Regalbuto

Hello, my name is Gina Regalbuto, and I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. My specialization is in healing trauma, depression, and anxiety, as well as the symptoms and stressors that follow as a result. I have also worked extensively with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder. I primarily practice through the lens of psychodynamic theory and am an eclectic provider who utilizes the modality that best serves my clients. I see clients through external sites called Headway and Path. Once you have decided to work with me or schedule a session, I will send you my homepage link to Headway or Path, where you can enter your insurance information and schedule a time with me. I look forward to working with you! The specific insurances I currently work with through Headway are Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Aetna, Oxford, United Healthcare, and Oscar Health. Thank you so much, and I look forward to working with you!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer therapy via telehealth, allowing me to work with clients anywhere in California. For those who prefer in-person sessions, I also see clients one day per week in my Beverly Hills office. I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches tailored to each client's needs, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic techniques.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Every client's journey is unique, so I tailor treatment to your individual needs and goals. During our first few sessions, we'll take time to get to know one another, explore your history, discuss what brings you to therapy, and identify the changes you'd like to make. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan that feels collaborative and aligned with your goals. As therapy progresses, we'll work to understand the underlying patterns contributing to your current challenges while also building practical skills to help you manage symptoms in your day-to-day life. When appropriate, I integrate EMDR to help clients process traumatic or distressing experiences in a safe, structured way. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel understood, challenged when needed, and empowered to create lasting change.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 60 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay

More information on payments and coverage

I welcome both insurance and private-pay clients. Payment is due at the time of your session. If I am in-network with your insurance plan, claims will be processed accordingly. If I am not in-network with your insurance, I offer the option to use Thrizer, a service that can verify your out-of-network benefits, submit claims on your behalf, and, for many clients, reduce upfront costs by allowing you to pay only your estimated patient responsibility rather than waiting for reimbursement. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage, private-pay fees, or payment options, I'm happy to discuss them before your first appointment.
