You've Decided to Begin
Here you will find information about my fees and billing practices and links to forms you will need to complete in preparation for our first meeting.If you have questions about the information on this page or beginning therapy, feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to help.
Fees and Billing
I see individual clients and clinical consultees for 55 - 60 minutes per session. My fee for individual initial intake therapy sessions is $200. Subsequent therapy and consultation sessions are $185. When the use of insurance or payment of my full fee is not feasible, I have the ability to work at a reduced rate on a limited, case-by-case basis.
I accept payment by cash, check, or credit/HSA card via the HIPAA compliant Ivy Pay app. I collect payment at the time of service unless other arrangements are made. Your health insurance may pay for part or all of your therapy. If you would like to use your insurance, I am happy to discuss this with you.
I am in-network with Premera Blue Cross and LifeWise. I bill insurance directly for these plans.If you have coverage for which I am out-of-network, you will be responsible for payment of my full fee at the time of service. I will provide you with an invoice to submit to your insurance company, detailing the information they will need to reimburse you per any out-of-network benefits you may have.
Cancellation Policy
I require one week’s notice for cancellations. In the event of inclement weather or mild illness, I am available to meet online.
Forms
In preparation for our first session please download and complete these forms:
Please send all completed forms to me via email before our first session or bring them with you to our first session. If I can answer any questions you have, get in touch. I’d be happy to be of assistance.
Meeting In Person & Online
A positive outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the increased flexibility and accessibility of therapy. I work with clients both in person at my Seattle office and virtually via HIPAA-compliant Zoom to clients across Washington State.
I am fully vaccinated and see clients in person who are also vaccinated. For clients who are not vaccinated, are experiencing illness, or prefer the convenience of online sessions, telemedicine is available.
We can also move between in-person and virtual sessions as needed, based on your circumstances or preferences. I’m happy to work with you to make adjustments that best support your therapy experience.
