Getting to know Malia Fontecchio
Naturally, you are meant to grow into your ideal self: self-assured and content. Sometimes, that growth gets blocked-perhaps by past trauma or fear of failure and the unknown. Let's explore these challenges together to identify and remove the obstacles, so you can become your best self, the version of you that you were always meant to be. I bring to this work a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California, equipping me to support you on this journey with expertise and compassion.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The main goal of our sessions is for you to become your ideal self and achieve your goals so you no longer need me. This might include healing from past trauma or incorporating new thoughts and behaviors in your life.
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.
