Getting Started
Finding a therapist who is the best fit for you and your needs is an important first step. I encourage you to shop around until you are satisfied with your choice. As you consider entering therapy, some tips that might be helpful to you can be found here.
Initial Phone Consultation
I offer a 15 minute complimentary phone consultation to individuals who are interested in therapy. During the call, we will briefly discuss what's prompting you to seek therapy and what you hope will be different for you at the end of therapy. I"ll also answer any questions you may have about my practice and how I work. At the end of our conversation, if you decide to pursue therapy with me, we’ll set up an appointment for an initial therapy session.
Fees
My fee for an initial therapy session (60 minutes) is $200. Subsequent sessions (45 minutes) are charged at a rate of $150. Fees are due at the time of each session. I accept checks, cash, and most major credit cards. If your circumstances are such that you'd like to inquire about a reduced fee, please let me know. I'm committed to reserving 20% of my weekly sessions for those needing a reduced fee.
Session Cancellations
Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice must be made by phone (425-283-0444) and will be charged at a fee of $100. Missed appointments with no notice or with less than 24 hour notice by email will be charged at a fee of $150. Please note that insurance will not cover missed sessions.
Office Hours
My availability for appointments is generally between the hours of 8:00 AM –6:00 PM, Tuesday-Thursday. Please call me at 425.283.0444 about my current openings and to set up an initial phone consultation.
