INSURANCE
I'm "in network" with Premera and Regence. Please check with your insurance company before our first meeting so that you understand the benefits and limitations of your coverage. If you have a different insurance company from any of those above then I am considered "out of network." If your insurance plan has out of network benefits then you may be able to receive full or partial reimbursement for the services that I provide. I can provide you with the necessary paperwork, called a "superbill."
Please check with your insurance plan before we meet so that you understand your responsibilities. Here are some questions to ask:
Using insurance benefits to pay for therapy has its advantages, including lowering your out-of-pocket cost and making therapy more accessible. However, if you use your insurance, be aware that your therapist is required to give you a mental health diagnosis that becomes a part of your permanent medical record. There may also be restrictions on how often you can see your therapist, and for how long. Because of this, you may choose not to use insurance and, instead, choose to pay privately.
If you choose to use insurance to help with the cost of your therapy, please call your insurance company to verify your coverage for mental health services before your first appointment.

Please check with your insurance plan before we meet so that you understand your responsibilities. Here are some questions to ask:
- Do I have outpatient mental health coverage?
- Is my therapist in-network, or out-of-network?
- If my therapist is out-of-network, what percentage of the session fee is covered?
- How much is my deductible, and how much has been met?
- What is my co-payment and/or co-insurance?
- How many covered sessions do I have per year?
- Do I need pre-authorization for services?
- How do I seek reimbursement?
