My standard therapy session is 50 minutes. I’m open to scheduling longer sessions as needed and/or requested for EMDR therapy.

We will spend time getting to know each other. You’ll be able to ask me any questions you have about therapy. I’ll review information from the paperwork you have already filled out through my secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy portal.

I do offer sessions on Sundays! I do not work in the evenings. My last session of the day starts at 2:30pm.

My office hours are:

Sundays: 9am to 3:20pm

Mondays: 9am to 3:20pm

Tuesdays: 9am to 3:20pm

Wednesdays: 9am to 3:20pm

Thursdays: 9am to 3:20pm

Fridays: On occasion. I do not schedule ongoing sessions on Fridays.

I currently offer online therapy ONLY, including online EMDR therapy. My office address is in Arroyo Grande, which in San Luis Obispo County, CA.

My fee for a 50-minute therapy session is $170. You’re entitled to a *Good Faith Estimate that will be provided after your initial consultation if you decide to schedule therapy with me.

Yes! I provide online therapy (also known as teletherapy, telehealth, telemedicine, telemental health, virtual therapy) through video or phone. This is a great option if you have a busy schedule, or if you feel more at ease receiving support from the comfort of your own home. Many of my clients report that it’s so comforting to be in their own cozy space (often with a beloved pet nearby) while doing trauma work. My clients also enjoy the convenience factor of virtual sessions, and the ability to use their lunch break or another free hour to engage in therapy without the additional time required for the commute, finding parking, etc.

Andrea Bey, LMFT specializes in EMDR therapy, online EMDR therapy, trauma therapy, online therapy, and anxiety therapy for women in CA.

I am an in-network provider for Aetna.

I am not contracted with any other insurance companies directly.  However, I can provide you with a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement using your Out-of-Network benefits. 

I have partnered with Mentaya to help make the process of getting reimbursed for therapy easier.

In 2020 I launched my private practice, where I focus on supporting adults in CA struggling with past trauma, current anxiety, stress management, and ADHD. I also specialize in EMDR therapy. Previously, from 2011 to 2021, I worked at a local community-based agency, starting as an in-home counselor and later advancing to roles as a social worker and therapist. During that time I supported children and families on their healing journey through various types of trauma and life disruptions.

I don't have a crystal ball (wouldn't that be cool?!), so I can't predict exactly how quickly you'll feel better. Sometimes it happens right away, but other times it takes weeks or even months to experience real relief. Therapy is a unique journey for everyone. Typically, when my clients commit to consistent weekly sessions, they start noticing significant improvements within about six months. We'll regularly discuss how therapy is working for you, assess your progress, and make adjustments to ensure we're meeting your needs.
