Good questions

A few things to know.

Do I need a SEINE BIO account to request an appointment?

No. Select Request an appointment to open the practice’s intake form. Requests, availability and scheduling are handled through the independent practice.

Do packages need a paid membership?

A free SEINE BIO account is enough to buy packages at public package prices. Plus adds no therapy discount. Premier saves 20% on eligible SEINE BIO therapy vouchers and packages; its membership fee is separate.

Can sessions be online?

Online sessions may be arranged by request when appropriate for your care. Dakota will discuss whether this is a good fit. You must be physically in California for online sessions; both partners must be in California for couples sessions.

Can I ask about insurance?

Yes. Ask the practice to confirm current insurance participation and your benefits before booking. Published package prices are self-pay prices, not insurance copays.

What happens after I send an appointment request?

The practice confirms fit, availability and the appropriate private intake before an appointment is confirmed. Sending a request does not reserve a time or confirm a booking.

Do I need to know exactly what to discuss?

You can begin with a concern, a recent experience or a question. Talk about what you hope could change and ask about Dakota’s approach.

What if I already have purchased session credits?

Existing purchased credits keep their original terms. Review the purchase-specific credit, cancellation and refund conditions, and ask the practice which terms apply to your balance.

Is this an urgent-support service?

No. This appointment intake is not an emergency service. For immediate danger, call 911. For a mental health crisis in the U.S., call or text 988.
