Do you offer telehealth or in person sessions?
I offer both in person and telehealth services. Telehealth allows you to attend therapy from the comfort of wherever you may be located in Washington state. Due to licensing laws, all clients must be physically located in Washington state during therapy sessions.
For in person sessions, my office is located in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle. Nearby public transportation routes are the 62 and 372 bus as well as the Roosevelt light rail station. There is free street parking directly in front of my office building.
How often will we meet?
Research supports meeting at least once a week for you to receive the maximum benefit from therapy. For this reason, I only start work with new clients on a weekly or more frequent basis. This ensures that we start to build our therapeutic relationship and make progress towards your goals. I offer less frequent appointments to established clients when they are transitioning to end our work together.
Do you work with children, teens, or couples?
I work with adult individuals ages 18 and up. Working with children, teens, and couples is not my specialty. However, I have several excellent colleagues who are incredibly skilled in these areas, and would be happy to refer you to them.
Do you accept insurance?
I am not paneled with insurance providers. Not being contracted with insurance allows me to protect your privacy and confidentiality, so that the details of your work in therapy stay between you and me. This also means that you and I get to decide how often we meet and how long we work together, rather than a company deciding that for us.
I am considered an out of network provider by insurance companies. I’m happy to provide you with superbills to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Many insurance plans offer reimbursement for therapy by an out of network provider. To learn more about your out of network coverage, you may contact your insurance company by calling the number on the back of your insurance card. Clients are financially responsible for the full cost of therapy sessions at the time of service, regardless of whether their insurance offers reimbursement.
Confused about how to seek reimbursement from your insurance company for out of network services? Reach out to me and I’ll be happy to talk you through this process.
How do I pay for services?
At the beginning of our work together, I will ask for credit, debit, HSA, or FSA card information that will be securely associated with your account. Your card will be automatically charged for each session using a HIPAA compliant payment app called Ivy Pay.
