My standard fee is $150 per 60 minute session.
It is reasonable to expect short term therapy to last 3-6 months (about 26 sessions), though sometimes longer is needed to see the gains you hope to achieve.
I am currently able to take insurance with Premera/BlueCrossBlueShield/Lifewise and First Choice Health Network (including Kaiser PPO). To bill under these plans, please fill out the Quote Request form at https://www.prestigemedicalbilling.com/patient-contact-form/ or contact Prestige Medical Billing Co., Inc. at 360-805-0323. PMBC will work with your insurance carrier to confirm & determine coverage. Additionally, many insurance plans like Regence, Aetna, & UBH allow for out-of-network coverage. Please check with your insurance carrier to see if this is available to you - PBMC can also assist you with this.
Insurance carriers only want to cover therapy deemed “medically necessary”. Typically, this means that you are experiencing a significant interruption to relationships, work, sleep, or other such life patterns. However, therapy can be quite helpful to anyone wanting positive change. To help support those wanting to access therapy apart from insurance, I offer a sliding scale fee. My scale is based upon % of median income (AMI) as defined by the Seattle Office of Housing. In cases of telehealth, I will look up median income for your resident city.
80%-99% AMI - $120
65-80% AMI - $100
< 65% AMI - $80
The choice to begin counseling is a big decision and I suggest you choose a counselor you feel reasonably comfortable with. To help you assess whether you find me to be a good fit or not, my initial session is risk-free. This means that if after the first session you don't wish to continue, the session is free.
