No, I do not take insurance at this point. However, several insurance companies reimburse cost for out of network clinicians. I am happy to provide superbills at the end of each calendar months if you wish. Please check with your insurance company if they accept superbills for associate therapists.

Superbill is like a detailed invoice of the services that you have received by your provider. It is required by insurance companies in order to reimburse clients for the money that they have paid out of pocket to the provider. I charge money upfront, and provide superbill at the end of each calendar month.

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. Clients who cancel within that timeframe or do not show up for their appointment will be charged full fee for the session. An appointment spot is reserved for you at your scheduled time and it is difficult for me to fill that spot on a short notice and still maintain a high quality practice. In case of an emergency or a sudden illness, the late cancellation fee is waived for one time only. We can discuss the details of the policy and unusual circumstances in our meeting.

For the safety and protection of your child, you must stay on the premises and remain easily accessible to your therapist and your child. 

You will receive the same level of compassion, unconditional positive regard and care whether you are here for therapy, coaching or counseling. Therapy is a clinical service that takes a holistic approach and focus more on why and how of presenting concerns. Therapy is a clinical service for diagnosis of mental health concerns. Therapeutic services are billable to insurance for reimbursement, allow provider to collaborate with other healthcare providers, communicate with schools for young children. 

Coaching services are targeted to a specific need and focus on finding ways to deal with a specific situation rather than exploring ways to increase endurance. Coaching services are not reimbursed by the insurance company and cannot make a diagnosis. We do not provide coaching services to children. Coaching is a suitable services for those who have done enough healing work in therapeutic setting, and are ready to move to the next stage of guided and directional work in a specific situation. Our coaching services are informed by psychoeducation, but will focus on your success and directions in specific situations rather than deep therapeutic work.

Consultation is a very short term relationship of a session or two.  Consultation is provided to give guidance or education in a specific situation, or to help a client figure things out when there is some situational stress. 

Absolutely! If that is what you need, then that is what you should get - provided you are in the State of Washington! 

I am licensed in the State of Washington, and for me to provide psychotherapy, my client must be physically present within the state bounds. If you are not in the State of Washington, but want to seek therapeutic services, we can try to find someone who provides services in your area whenever possible.
