How long are sessions and how often?

Sessions are 50 minutes in length and 90 minute sessions can be accommodated upon request from time to time. Sessions are required to be weekly at the start of therapy while we are still getting to know one another. Greater or lesser frequency is usually dependent on severity of symptoms and progress in therapy.

Do you see clients virtually or in person?

At this time I offer virtual session via Telehealth.

Can we work together if i don’t live in washington?

Due to state laws, Washington requires therapists licensed in Washington state to only meet with clients who are located in Washington state.

How much does therapy cost?

My standard session rate is $165 per 50 minute session. I offer a limited number of reduced fee sessions with priority to queer, gender expansive, BIPOC folks, and activists focused on anti-oppression organizing. Please inquire with me about an equitable rate should my standard rate prevent you from accessing therapy.

Do you take insurance?

Although I do not accept insurance, if you have insurance benefits I may be considered an out-of network-provider. In this case, you will need to contact your insurance company directly and ask if you can be reimbursed for LMHC psychotherapy sessions. If so, I can provide a super-bill to you which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Additionally, I am able to accept FSA or HSA cards as payment.

What is Good Faith Estimate?

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and facilities are required to provide individuals who do not have health insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the anticipated bill for medical items and services upon request or at the time of scheduling. This is called a “Good Faith Estimate.”
Note: This does not currently apply to any clients who are using insurance benefits, including "out of network benefits” (i.e., submitting superbills to insurance for reimbursement).

Clients have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” which outlines the total expected cost of services. The Good Faith Estimate works to show the cost of services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur and will be provided a new "Good Faith Estimate" should this occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill if you and your therapist have not previously talked about the change and you have not been given an updated good faith estimate.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” at least 1 business day before your service. You can also ask your provider, and any other provider you choose, for a “Good Faith Estimate” before you schedule service

Be sure to save a copy of your “Good Faith Estimate.” For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
