Therapeutic Services

---

I offer services through both my private practice, Luna Nova Therapy, and an affiliated group practice. Depending on your insurance coverage, we'll determine the best option for receiving care.

Treatment may incorporate evidence-based approaches such as:

• CBT – focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
• EMDR – a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy approach used to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional distress associated with past experiences.
• Attachment-based therapy – explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotional experiences.
• Gottman Method – an approach to couples therapy focused on improving communication and strengthening emotional connection.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – an evidence-based approach to therapy that helps individuals develop skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is designed to help people manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, improve relationships, and build a life that feels more balanced and meaningful.

• Motivational Interviewing (MI) – a collaborative, client-centered approach that helps individuals strengthen their motivation and commitment to making positive behavioral changes by exploring and resolving ambivalence. 

• SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) – an evidence-based approach for identifying and addressing risky alcohol and drug use through early screening, brief intervention, and referral to specialized treatment when appropriate. Jose has completed training in the use of SBIRT with adolescents in 2016 at USC.

Therapy is tailored to the unique needs and goals of each individual.

Luna Nova Therapy is currently credentialing with several insurance providers. Additional insurance updates will be posted as credentialing is completed. Luna Nova Therapy is currently in-network with Aetna and Optum / United Behavioral Health Insurance.   

For Cigna, UMR, Carelon, Stutter, Oxford, Blue Shield and Blue Cross, I can often see clients through the group practice where I also provide therapy. Feel free to contact me and I'll help determine which option works best with your insurance.

At this time, all other services are offered on a private-pay basis.

Accepted forms of payment include:
• Debit card
• Credit card
• Zelle

Payment is due at the time of each session.

For clients using out-of-network benefits, a superbill can be provided upon request for submission directly to your insurance company.
