Fees and Frequently Asked Questions

What are your fees?     
My fee for a 60 minute individual session is $130.
My fee for a 60 minute couple session is $130.
Fees are usually collected in at the end of each month. 
Cash or personal checks are acceptable for payment, and a receipt will be provided  at your request. 
I offer discounted fees for individuals experiencing financial hardship.

Is there a special format for couple therapy?
I usually ask you to commit to at least 4 sessions during which we work to identify the patterns of relating that are causing painful conflict in your couple.  
  • Session 1, both partners
  • Session 2, individual sessions with each partner
  • Session 3, both partners
  • Session 4, formulation of the problem and discussion of what's next
I welcome all adult couples, whatever your sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual preferences and practices.

Do you accept insurance?  
I am able to bill the following insurance plans:
Aetna; Community Health Plan of Washington; First Choice Health; ​Molina; Premera; Regence and Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
If you have a different insurance company and your plan allows for "out of network" providers, I am able to give you a bill to facilitate reimbursement. 

What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel an appointment, please call to notify me (or leave a voice message) as soon as you can. If, without advance notice, you do not show up for an appointment, you will be charged a “No Show Fee” at your full regular session rate.
