My fee is currently $220 for the initial office consultation and $190 for subsequent 55 minute therapy sessions. At this time, I do not accept credit cards and ask that your payments be in either cash/check, Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo.

If you decide to use your insurance benefits and I am a contracted provider with your insurance company, I will complete the billing for your sessions and you will be responsible for paying your yearly deductible amount and your per session copayment or coinsurance.

When you use your insurance and I am a contracted provider for that company, it is important to note that insurance companies require a diagnosis for the submission of psychotherapy claims. Additionally, some insurers ask for treatment reviews for what they term “medical necessity” of ongoing sessions. Medical necessity is determined by the insurance company according to the standards they deem reasonable and necessary. Treatment reviews can subject your diagnosis, the content of your sessions, your personal history, and the approach of therapy to their scrutiny and their ultimate decision about how treatment will or will not proceed.

If I am not a provider for your particular insurance company and you would like to receive out-of-network insurance benefits for your therapy, I ask that you pay my fee and I will provide your with a receipt that you can submit to your insurer. When using out-of-network benefits, I will be required to provide a diagnosis but will not be required to participate in treatment reviews.

**I am currently a preferred provider for Employer-based Premera plans (not Individual Plans bought from WAHealthPlanFinder), Lifewise, out-of-state Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, and First Choice Health Network.
