Psychotherapy is most productive with a framework around time, place, and payment.  These subjects are outlined in a Disclosure and Consent Form, which I will send to you via email once we have scheduled an initial appointment.  Prior to reaching out to me, you may wish to know about some logistics, including:​​

 

• Time:  Each session is for a duration of 50 minutes for individual psychotherapy, 75 minutes for couples, family, or group therapy.  Therapy is scheduled on a weekly, on-going basis.

• Place:  Sessions are conducted Fees:  at my office, which is located at:  1904 Third Avenue, Suite 419, Seattle, WA  98101.  In case of a health or weather emergency, sessions will shift to Zoom/phone.

• Fees:  Payment is due at the time of each session.  My current fee is $180 per session ($270 for couples/family/group therapy).  I am "in-network" with Premera and Kaiser HMO and PPO plans.  For clients using "out-of-network" benefits, I create a receipt (called a Superbill) that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement.  Payment options include cash, personal check, and IvyPay (secure credit card payment portal).

• Missed or cancelled sessions:  As each appointment time is reserved, I ask for payment at the usual session rate when an appointment is missed or cancelled, and will make every effort to reschedule the appointment within 7 days. 

• Other helpful tips:  Arriving a bit early to sessions and turning off electronic devices can help prepare you for our important work.  If we meet at my office, you can enjoy some tea and reflect a bit in the waiting room.
