Appointments

In order to receive further information or to make an appointment, contact our La Mirada office at (562) 903-4800. The receptionist will request some basic information about the reasons you are seeking therapy, as well as your preferences for appointment times and the type of therapist you prefer to see. Your assigned therapist will contact you within approximately 3 to 4 business days to schedule an initial appointment. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your initial appointment time in order to complete necessary paperwork.

Regarding the treatment of minors. If parents are legally separated or divorced, or if the child/adolescent has a legal guardian, documentation clarifying your right to authorize psychological treatment must be submitted before the intake process can begin.

Insurance

Though some of our licensed therapists work with insurance, the majority of our psychotherapists do not. In addition, our office staff does not bill insurance. Therefore, it is typically the client’s responsibility to remit payment to Biola Counseling Center at the time services are received and to personally arrange for reimbursement through their insurance provider.
