Important Information to Consider

---

The federal 'No Surprises Act' is a new law that took effect January 1, 2022, and aims to reduce unexpected medical bills for patients. You have a right to know how much your medical and mental healthcare will cost.

Therapy can be costly in some senses. I never want counseling to be a financial burden, and this is why I am very open about fees/payments. Oftentimes people will equate therapy services to an investment in yourself and your relationships. Consider how much we spend on hair, nails, hobbies, etc. Oftentimes people choose to spend more on therapy, especially when it is a good match and you feel that it benefits you and increases your quality of life. If at any point you feel that this is not the case, I urge you to discuss this with your therapist. 

Insurance: 

Currently I am able to take Premera, LifeWise, and some BlueCross BlueShield Plans. 

Please contact me so that we can check into your sessions being covered by insurance. I am also able to provide superbills when appropriate. 

Private Pay: 

Individual sessions cost $140.

Couples or family sessions cost $150. 

*I do offer a sliding scale (reduced cost) but have limited spots. 

Please reach out if you are interested in knowing more about this!

Therapy is a safe and contained space. I am legally and ethically bound to maintain your privacy. I always tell clients that anything they discuss in the safety of our teletherapy sessions will be held in the lockbox of my head (as well as the HIPAA compliant EHR system where I maintain appropriate and discreet notes). The only exceptions to this rule are if I believe you are an imminent danger to yourself, others, or hear of elder, child, or vulnerable adult abuse. 

When you send me an email I will respond within 1-3 business days. At this time we can set up a fifteen minute free consultation where we can see if we are the right "fit." (This is not necessary if you know that you'd like to schedule immediately). Following this I would send you intake forms and begin the process of onboarding. To be effective, therapy sessions are generally scheduled once weekly. That being said, to keep therapy affordable you may also decide that every other week is more doable. At this time I am available from 9-3pm Monday-Thursday. Please contact me for exact availability! 

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. I graduated from a COAMFTE accredited university and am working toward full licensure in Washington state. LMFTA's are required to gain a certain amount of supervised hours. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to me or my supervisor.
