About Therapy, Me, and My Location

About Therapy

What should I expect in therapy?

Therapy is a safe, judgment-free space, to explore your thoughts, feelings, and needs. Therapy can be a great place to find relief from distressing symptoms or feelings, challenges in relationships, stress related to work or school, issues related to parenting or marriage, or other areas of your life that you may be looking for support. 


I offer traditional in person sessions as well as convient, cost effecient online video sessions. We can discuss during your free initial phone consultation which option may be the best fit for you.   


Although change doesn't happen overnight, I have seen my clients gain insight, make adjustments, and learn tools that have truly changed their lives. Therapy takes some work, but change is possible. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and helping you reaching your goals!

Session Length

Currently, I offer 50-minute therapy sessions as well as group and private workshops

Types of Sessions Available

I offer traditional in person sessions as well as convient online video sessions. We can discuss during your free initial phone consulatation which option may be the best fit for you.  

Insurance and Fees

Session fees vary depending on the length and type of service. I offer a reduced rate to new parents and clients who request this based on individual need. Please call for more information on reduced rates.

In an effort to be an insurance-friendly practice, I have Included information here about an amazing company called Thrizer to help my clients use their out-of-network benefits to save money on therapy. It's easy to use, simply follow the steps below: 

  

How It Works

  1. Create Your Thrizer Account
    • Use the link on the button below to set up your Thrizer account and get started.
    • You don’t need to add or invite me as your clinician. I don’t currently accept Thrizer Pay, so your superbills will be submitted directly through Thrizer. This is a simple process handled between you and Thrizer if you choose to use their service to simplify insurance reimbursement. 
    • I provide you with your monthly superbill and you simply upload it to your account and wait for your reimbursement. No hassles with your insurance company!

  1. Enter Your Insurance and Payment Information
    • Add your insurance details so Thrizer can check your out-of-network benefits.
    • Enter your payment information for Thrizer to charge their fee if you choose to move forward with their services and submit your superbills for reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits.
    • Your therapy sessions will still be charged in SimplePractice.

  1. Get an Instant Benefit Breakdown
    • Thrizer will show your deductible and an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost.

  1. Upload Your Superbill
    • After each session, request a superbill from your therapist and upload it to your Thrizer portal.

  1. Receive Your Reimbursement
    • Payments first go toward your deductible if it hasn’t been met.
    • Once your deductible is met, reimbursement will be directly to your bank account in a few weeks 
    • Thrizer handles all the insurance paperwork for you.
    • Thrizer charges:
      • $2 per session before your deductible is met
      • $2 per session + 1% of your total superbill after your deductible is met


***If you prefer not to use Thrizer, I will provide you with a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement at your out-of-network rate. Please consult with your individual insurance provider for details regarding reimbursement rates.

About Me

Therapist for moms with ADHD
Therapist for new moms 
Therapist for postpartum depression & anxiety

As a mom of two, who also struggled with postpartum depression with my first daughter six years ago, I know how painful it can be to be doing your very best while simultaneously feeling like you’re failing or can barely recognize yourself. 


I love helping women and new moms struggling with the symptoms of anxiety, depression or ADHD, get their lives back. 


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, providing therapy to individuals in Westlake Village, Ventura, and surrounding areas for over twelve years. Formerly, I practiced under my maiden name Sasha Sloniker but changed my last name to McPherson when I married in 2016. 


I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from California Lutheran University. In addition to my private practice, I served adjunct faculty member at Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology. 


In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my two daughters at the beach, hiking, or riding bikes.
