Fees and Insurance

Grief and Loss Therapy in Seattle, Washington State, Tacoma, Everett, Bellingham, Spokane, Vancouver.

Transparent Pricing for Therapy Services

Choosing a therapist is an important decision. I believe clients should have clear information about fees, policies, and payment options before beginning therapy.

Therapy Services

15-minute consultation: Free

This consultation allows us to briefly discuss your needs, answer questions, and determine whether we're a good fit to work together.

90-minute initial assessment session: $200

Assessment session that is completed in the first meeting that will identify the symptoms, needs, goals, and concerns of the client. This session is used to plan the subsequent sessions.

50-minute therapy session: $150

Individual therapy may focus on grief, loss, trauma, caregiving challenges, life transitions, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, or other personal goals.

Group therapy session and Workshops: Prices Vary

Groups and workshops will be offered occasionally. The prices will depend on the length of the sessions and the cost of the services being provided. All clients will be notified of the prices prior to receiving the treatment.

Insurance

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly.

Many clients choose to use out-of-network benefits through their insurance plan.

If requested, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

I encourage clients to contact their insurance provider directly to ask:

  • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

  • What is my deductible?

  • What percentage of sessions are reimbursed?

  • Are there any limitations on reimbursement?

Why Private Pay?

Private-pay therapy offers several advantages:

Greater Privacy

Insurance companies often require a mental health diagnosis and may request information about treatment.

Private-pay therapy allows us to focus on your goals without involving a third party in treatment decisions.

More Personalized Care

Treatment is guided by your needs rather than insurance requirements.

Flexibility

Therapy can continue for as long as it remains helpful without requiring authorization from an insurance company.

Payment

Payment is due at the time of service.

Accepted payment methods include:

  • Credit card

  • Debit card

  • HSA/FSA cards

Payment information is securely stored through the client portal.

Cancellation Policy

Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged the full session fee.

Please refer to your informed consent documents for complete policy details.
