Appointments & Fee

I see clients only by appointment. To ask questions and/or to schedule an appointment you can reach me by calling 206.769.6584. You can leave a message at any time (24 hours). I offer weekday and weekend appointments. During our initial phone call, I will ask you a few details about what is bringing you to counseling to be sure that my training and experience match your needs.

complimentary initial session

After a brief phone call to discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, I offer a free 30 minute first session for prospective clients; I find this to be the best way to mutually determine whether working together will be a good fit. This session is time for you to evaluate whether you’d like to work with me, and for me to ascertain how I can be of help to you.

Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your session to read and complete some forms.   24 hours cancellation notice is required to reschedule your complimentary session.

Fee

My fee is $80 per 50-55 minute session. A ninety-minute session is $125. I reserve a portion of my caseload for those in need of a reduced fee due to financial hardship. Please inquire if you need to utilize one of these slots. Payment (check or cash) is due at the time of our session.

I do not bill insurance or third parties. If you wish to attempt to receive reimbursement from your insurance company I will provide you with an invoice to submit, but I expect your payment in full at the time of service. I cannot guarantee that you will get reimbursed for your time with me and I recommend checking with your insurance company if this is an important issue for you.
