Psychotherapy Services

As a psychologist, I tend to be collaborative, ask questions to generate insight, provide feedback, and focus on the mind-body connection.  I take an integrative approach using ACT and mindfulness interventions and techniques, while also consistently attending to the client’s various identities and socio-cultural locations.

Taking the first steps towards therapy can feel vulnerable, and yet it is an act of courage and a step toward self-care and self-worth. Please contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

I offer both individual and couples therapy.

Managed Care and Insurance Panels

I’m currently in-network with Premera. For other insurance companies, I may be considered as an out-of-network provider. Your therapy services may be eligible for reimbursement through out-of-network benefits, medical spending or health care savings accounts. Health insurance plans and out-of-network benefits vary. It may be helpful for you to ask your insurance for concrete information about your benefits. Some questions to ask maybe:  

• What are my mental health benefits?

• How many therapy sessions are covered by my insurance?

• What are my Out of Network benefits?

• What is my deductible and do I need to meet the deductible before getting reimbursed?

• What percentage of my therapy fees will be reimbursed?

• What is the timeline to receive reimbursement after submitting the superbill?

Please note that 24 hour advance cancellation of scheduled appointments is required in order to avoid being billed for a missed session.

If you are not using insurance to pay for services, please note that Under the No Surprises Act:

·      You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

·      You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

·      If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can talk to your provider to ask for an updated GFE.

·      You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill. 

·      There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this GFE. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount. 

·      For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call CMS at 1-800-985-3059 .
