FAQs
What are your rates?
$140 per 55 minute hour
$180 for the initial session which is 55 minutes in length.
Do you take insurance?
I am paneled in-network with Premera, Regence, LifeWise and FirstChoice health insurance companies. For all other insurance companies, services may be paid in full or part as an out-of-network provider. You must call your insurance company to see what is covered for outpatient mental health services. You can check your benefits by calling your insurance company and asking the following questions of your insurance company:
Do I have mental health benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
How much does my insurance plan cover for an out of network provider?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
What if I can’t afford your rates?
I do offer an adjusted scale for clients. The fee is based on income and number of dependents in the household. My lowest fee is $70, please ask about a financial arrangement if you believe counseling will provide a financial hardship.
What forms of payment do you take?
I currently accept cash, check, Visa and Mastercard. Payment plans are also available if needed but please inquire.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require 24 hours of notice if you need to cancel your appointment. If you miss your appointment you will be charged the fee in full as agreed upon in the Counseling Disclosure. Of course life presents some extenuating circumstances such as illnesses and emergencies and those instances will be handled on an individual basis.
