Getting to know Dr. Oceana Free
Hello, I’m Dr. Oceana Free, PhD, LMFT, with 25 years of experience working in mental health, providing therapy to adult individuals in California. I specialize in trauma, spirituality & women’s issues, with a clinical focus on grief, heartbreak & life transitions. My work welcomes spirituality & faith for those who wish to bring their Christian or Catholic beliefs as a companion to the therapy process. My work is depth-oriented & integrative, drawing from psychodynamic & faith-based approaches to support meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy works best when it is grounded in respect, dignity & compassion, honoring your values, culture & faith. I work to empower clients with intentional, individualized care- while offering space for suffering to be held & transformed.
In our first session, we'll begin with a conversation about what has brought you to therapy & what you are currently struggling with, along with time for any questions you may have. This initial meeting allows us to determine whether working together feels like a good fit & to establish a direction for our work. You can expect a calm place where your experience is met with care, discernment & room to set down what you've been carrying.
My greatest strengths are rooted in authentic empathy for those who have or currently struggle and suffer. With over 25 years of experience working in diverse communities, I have walked alongside people through loss, hardship & seasons that ask more of them than they expected to give. Therapy with me is direct, thoughtful & respectful of your lived experience. My faith informs the presence & hope I bring to my work with clients.
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.
