Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a therapy appointment and how often should I be going?
Therapy sessions are 50 minutes long, but if longer sessions are needed this can be discussed. Weekly sessions are recommended at the start of the therapy so we can get to know each other. More or less frequency of appointments is dependent on the severity of symptoms and progress in therapy.
Are you offering in-person or telehealth appointments?
As of right now, I am only offering sessions via telehealth.
Do you take insurance?
Yes! I am paneled with Premera, LifeWise, and most Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans. If you have a different insurance that I am not paneled with I am considered an "out-of-network provider. If you would like to use your insurance you will need to call your insurance provider and ask if you have out-of-network benefits and ask if you can be reimbursed for "LMHCA Psychotherapy Sessions". If so, I can provide a super bill for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. If you want more information on this process, please visit my Fees & Services page HERE.
