FAQ

In order to bill insurance for reimbursement of services, you will receive a mental health diagnosis based on your presenting symptoms during the Intake Appointment. As a business run by a former special ed kid, we are very aware of the impact of labels. We use a diagnosis in collaboration with you to aid in treatment planning purposes. Psychotherapy is something that is done *with* you, not *to* you.

We do not evaluate or diagnose ASD or ADHD. We're happy to help you identify options for accessing an evaluation.

No, we do not provide medication management. 

Our private pay rate is $225 for a 60-minute intake and $180 for a 55-minute individual session.

Your costs may vary depending on the cost-sharing setup of your insurance plan (if using insurance). 

I use a ciient portal to assist with HIPAA-compliant messaging, documentation, and secure telehealth. This is where you'll access your telehealth appointments and communicate any personal health information needed to provide you with services. If you have MyChart through another clinic, it's very similar to that!

Great question! You can reach out by submitting a contact form. From there, I will send you a link to either a free consultation booking page or an appointment request page, depending on how ready you feel to start the process.

If you're seeking collaboration around a project or event, then you can select your preferred communication method and we will connect that way. You may be sent a link to my free consultation booking page later on.

Washington State Department of Health has given us unclear guidance regarding the ability of Master's level clinicians to diagnose ASD and ADHD. Many do, and that's their choice, so long as they properly advertise that diagnosis by a Master's level clinician cannot be used to apply for government programs, such as SSI and DDA.

Additionally, there are so many assessment tools, many of which were developed to pathologize conditions like ASD/ADHD. I have previous experience administering the ADOS-2 (widely considered a "gold standard" tool) and I just chose to opt-out of the system. I'm not the best judge of who is considered "abnormal" anyway.

Not yet! I am completing my approved supervisor training requirements for Washington state with an anticipated start date of March 2027 to begin supervising. 

Not at this time.
