Free Consultation:

To help us explore if working together is a good fit for your counseling, I offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone. This will give you a chance to ask any questions you have to find out if I am the best fit to help your needs.

Cancellation Policy:

If you are unable to make an appointment, I ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment or you will be charged the full fee for a session. If you have to cancel a Monday appointment, you will need to reach out to me by Friday. I make exceptions to this for sudden physical illness or an unanticipated circumstance that could reasonably be considered an emergency.

Fees/Payment:

Individual counseling session (50 minutes, unless we have pre-arranged otherwise): $150.

Couples counseling session (50 minutes, unless pre-arranged otherwise):$200

Emergency session (30+ mins): $200 

I accept major credit cards, PayPal/Venmo, and most HSA/FSA cards. It is policy that an active card is kept on file. After a session, I will not charge the card on file if you prefer to pay via another method (PayPal or Venmo). If you do not attend the appointment or cancel late, I will charge the card on file for the full session fee.

Insurance:

I am an out-of-network provider, and for those who wish to receive reimbursement, I can provide you with the proper paperwork/receipt of service so you can bill your insurance company. It is a good idea to check with your provider about out-of-network outpatient mental/behavioral health coverage before we begin working together. I can provide a Superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. What is a Superbill? A Superbill is a document for insurance companies that details the services a therapist or health care provider performs for a client when out of network (OON).

Location of Services:

I offer in-person sessions in Seattle, WA, and telehealth sessions to Washington state residents. I am a Washington state licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA); my license number is MC61446369.

Confidentiality:

All information you share with me is confidential and will not be shared with any other person or agency except under the following circumstances:

1. There is a medical or psychiatric emergency.

2. You sign a release of information form specifying the information to be disclosed and the person(s) to whom this information can be released.

3. I have reason to believe that you may be in danger of harming yourself or others or cannot meet your basic needs.

4. I have reason to believe that a child, elderly person, or developmentally disabled person is being abused in any way.

5. Parents or legal guardians of non-emancipated minors have the right to access client records.

6. You are involved in a lawsuit or legal situation and the court subpoenas your records.

7. Insurance providers and other third-party payers request information regarding client services. Information that may be requested includes the type of services, dates/times of services, diagnosis, treatment plan, description of impairment, progress of therapy, case notes, and summaries.

8. During supervisory consultation.

I obtain regular clinical supervision to help ensure that I provide you with the highest quality of work. During supervisory consultation, I make every effort to disclose as little information as possible to protect your confidentiality.

Additionally, I engage in regular consultation with other clinicians. These discussions are done under strictly professional and confidential circumstances, and I make every effort to hide the identity of clients to protect privacy.
