Therapy is an investment. If it's the right fit for you, it will feel very worth it! I'd be glad to help you find that type of provider, whether that's with me or through a helpful referral.
CONSULTATIONS. Let's start with a consultation to see if we're a good fit. I offer a free 15-minute video call via google meeting for us to start that conversation. A note on getting started: yes, it's vulnerable and can be as awkward as speed dating (let's be honest here!). But did you know that goodness of fit between therapist and client is the number one predictor of therapy success?! That's over and beyond treatment approach & modality. So listen to your system as we talk, push through the nerves, and don't be afraid to ask for a referral if it's not feeling right. It's best for both of us in the end if you feel excited to continue after our consultation.
SCHEDULING. I offer sessions online or outdoor/ walking on Wednesdays through Saturdays. It's important for me to offer times that actually work!
FEES. $175/50 minute session for individuals $195/ 50 minute session for partner/ couple sessions Inquire about any available sliding scale spots for those facing financial challenges.
INSURANCE. I am an Out-of-Network provider with insurance companies. Many clients get reimbursed by their insurance for 40-60% of their session cost, and I provide monthly Superbills to facilitate this process. If you're not sure what benefits your insurance provides, here are some questions to ask your provider: - Does my plan cover out-of-network providers? - What percentage will I get reimbursed per session? - Are telehealth/ online sessions covered? - Do I have to meet a deductible before reimbursement begins? - Have I met my deductible yet?
ONLINE THERAPY. I meet with folks online through video sessions on the Simple Practice platform. Joining is simple--a link for each session is sent to your email, and you just click to join. See below for the space you'll see when you connect.
WALKING/ OUTDOOR THERAPY. Outdoor sessions will be at a park in North Seattle. Confidentiality can't be completely guaranteed when outside, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives here! We'll do everything we can to protect your privacy while out and about. Location and details specified before the scheduled session.
