Psychotherapy Services

What do you want to talk about today?

Psychotherapy services to suit a wide range of needs

At the moment, I am a provider for the following insurance agencies for psychotherapy services:

  • Regence BlueShield of Washington
  • Premera Blue Cross
  • First Choice Health Plan
  • Lifewise of Washington
  • Asuris Northwest Health
  • BridgeSpan Health
  • Optum Behavioral Health (United Healthcare)
  • Certain Kaiser Permanente Plans
  • Certain Providence Plans

If you have a different insurance plan, there are still some options available to you via limited coverage for out-of-network providers (which typically uses a different deductible). In addition, some plans cover psychotherapy through your HSA plan. Every month, I’ll generate an statement with all the information you’ll need to be reimbursed (usually at a lower coinsurance than your in-network benefits). I’ll be happy to guide you through this process.

Otherwise, my current Private Pay fees are as follows:

  • 30-minute introductory “get to know you” session: No charge, free, nada, etc and so on.
  • Full fee: $150 per 50-minute psychotherapy session.
  • Extended session: $225 per 90-minute psychotherapy session.

Appointment times:

One of the great things about Capitol Hill and about Seattle in general is its diversity. Because of this, I know that various people have various needs. Work schedules don’t always “work” with our life’s schedule. To address this, I offer time slots ranging days to late evenings.

Currently seeing clients:

Monday – Thursday 4:00pm – 9:00pm

What I work with:

A common question asked of me is, “What kinds of things do you work with?” My answer to this question changes depending on the needs of the person. However, if pressed, the most common obstacles I work with during psychotherapy sessions are:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Coping with chronic pain
  • Stress and stress management
  • Cultural and bicultural issues (including “cultural clashes” and adjusting to new situations)
  • Goal-setting and fulfillment
  • Trauma
  • Phobias
  • Managing daily stressors
  • Gaming addiction
  • Behavioral management

The list can go on and on, it all depends on your needs. Contact me today and see if I can help you with your needs. I offer a 30-minute, “get-to-know-you” session at no cost and no obligation so that we can meet and see if we can work together.

My goals are your goals, whatever they may be!

One of the first questions I ask of all my clients is: “What are your goals for counseling?” While the answers to this question vary from individual to individual, common themes generally begin to arise. While this list is nowhere near complete, here are some of the goals that I am privileged to work with my clients to reach:

  • To move past depression and retake control of life again
  • To conquer anxiety
  • Live the life that you want to live
  • Communicate and resolve conflict within a relationship
  • Get out of the house and into the world
  • Overcome an addiction to video or online games
  • Make sense of the multiple roles and expectations placed on a person by multiple cultures
  • Be able to recognize “decisive paralysis” and make healthy and intelligent decisions

Some questions you could ask yourself are: What are my goals? What do I want out of life? What areas of my life could use improvement? What do I need to resolve from my past? Let me help you in your journey to find the answers to these questions for yourself.
