MARIANNE T. VERNACCHIA

As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist serving San Jose and surrounding areas for over 25 years, I continue to enjoy helping individuals, couples, children and teens to grow as individuals, strengthen their relationships, and move forward in life. I have also served as the Clinical Director of the Teen and Family Counseling Center in Campbell, where I gained invaluable experience understanding teens, their stressors today, as well as the pressures on Bay Area families. I have training in treating kids with ADHD and various mood disorders, as well as supporting families struggling to help their children. As a Clinical Supervisor who works with Marriage and Family Therapist Interns, I enjoy mentoring and teaching about the many gifts of therapy and how new therapists can support their clients. I also like teaching psychology to college students at the junior college level.  I hold Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Public Relations from the University of Southern California, as well as a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University.

Notice to clients and prospective clients:
Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. 
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.  
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.  
 For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
