Therapy sessions are by appointment, and they are scheduled once the client has completed initial forms and documents through a secure online portal. Therapy sessions are typically 45 minutes or 60 minutes in length. If you arrive late to your session, please expect that we will end on the scheduled time, so that I am able to see the next client on time.
Once scheduled, your session time is protected as yours. Missed sessions are costly in time and revenue (we are not able to collect from insurance for unfulfilled appointments). If not due to an emergency, late-cancellations or no-shows will incur a charge that you will have to pay out-of-pocket (cash or check). These policies are outlined in detail in paperwork clients receive.

This office, however, is in network with a number of insurance companies, with whom I am a participating (preferred) provider:
I accept private pay and will provide a "superbill" for out-of-network insurance that clients may submit for reimbursement. Clients are responsible for the portion that the out-of-network insurance does not cover. Out-of-network insurance include Optum/UBH, Providence, and (soon) Regence/BCBS and Cigna/Allegiance. Clients are to know their medical insurance plans and benefits, including copay, coinsurance, and/or deductible.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
Note: A Good Faith Estimate is intended for you to be aware of estimated fees. The estimate does NOT mean you need to make a commitment to the length or frequency of therapy sessions.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur.
If you are billed at least $400 more than the sum provided in your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
