Anxiety and trauma therapy in Seattle, WA

No, I do not. All of my sessions are offered via telehealth or in person in parks throughout the Seattle area.

It can be—but it's true that it is not as private as online therapy. We will do our best to stay out of earshot of others, and to most, we'll just look like two friends chatting. If we run into someone you know, I will follow your lead—you can introduce me as your friend, colleague, sister's best friend's aunt...whatever you are most comfortable with so we can get back to our session.

My fees are $180 per 55-minute session and $275 for initial 90-minute intake session.

I do not work directly with insurance companies, but I am able to provide you with a "super bill" upon request, which includes all information needed for insurance reimbursement IF your plan offers this. Please check with your insurance policy about your out-of-network mental health benefits if you plan to use this.

There are several reasons I have chosen to not work directly with insurance:

• Flexibility - we can meet as long and often as we determine is necessary for your treatment without restrictions imposed by insurance companies.

• Avoid interruptions - we are not at risk of insurance companies cutting off benefits, causing abrupt end of treatment.

• Increased confidentiality - I don't need to share your diagnosis or treatment notes with your insurance company.

• Focus on your therapy - I can spend our time focusing on you and your treatment instead of all the paperwork and billing requirements insurance companies require.

Congratulations on taking a step toward healing! Here are the steps toward working together:

1. First, we'll have a (free) 20 minute consultation call (reach out to schedule below). This allows us to see if we're a good fit to work together before we jump into sessions.

2. If we decide to work together, we'll schedule an intake session. This 90-minute session is a chance for hear more in depth what you're looking to work on and to share more about your history and who you are. I'll send you some paperwork beforehand to make our time as efficient as we can. We'll also talk about types of therapy we can do in this session.

3. At the end of the intake session, we'll schedule our weekly 55-minute sessions.

This free 20-minute call gives us a chance to see if we're a good fit to work together. It's not therapy, and I won't ask you to go to into the nitty gritty of what you're going through. It is a chance for you to share why you're seeking therapy at this time and hear about the type of work I do, for me to see if what you're dealing with is something I can help address, and for us to ask any questions we might have before starting therapy together. If we both agree to move forward, we can schedule our first session. If not, I can help you find someone who can better meet your needs.
