Most of my clients pay out-of-pocket for counseling. This way, I can assure the highest degree of privacy, flexibility and control of mental health records. My private records are exempt from insurance reporting and random compliance audits.

 

If you are thinking about using insurance to help cover the cost of counseling, I am currently accepting First Choice Health, Premera, most Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans, and Lifewise. If you have other insurance, you may be able to use your out-of-network benefits, which cover a significant portion of the cost for counseling. I will gladly provide reimbursement documentation for your out-of-network benefits. If you are planning to use your out-of network benefits to help cover the cost of counseling, I highly recommend you check with your insurance provider regarding coverage prior to our first regular session.

 

The following information is typically requested:

• CPT Code: 90837

 

The first 20-minute consultation is free of charge with no obligation. Intakes and regular therapy sessions are 50 minutes and billed at $160. I accept cash, checks, all major credit cards, and HSAs (Health Savings Accounts). Regardless of how you choose to pay, I will ask you for a credit card I can keep on file after you have completed your intake. This is to cover the costs of no-show appointments and any unpaid insurance co-pays. I will let you know before I charge your card and provide you with a bill. A limited number of sliding-scale appointments are available to clients in need.
