Our sessions with clients are collaborative. This is your therapy and we want you to get out of it what you desire. We naturally provide a warm, curious, and encouraging atmosphere, as we are dedicated to making clients feel supported and understood. Our first session together is 60 minutes. In the first few sessions, the main goal is to make you feel comfortable and to provide a safe space, free of judgment, for you to discuss vulnerable topics. We will take our time, easing into the issues you may feel uneasy talking about, and we will lead the first couple of sessions. After we have started to build our therapeutic relationship, we encourage clients to attend sessions with an idea of what they are hoping to discuss. Taking control of and ownership of your progress will help you move toward change faster.

Your first session will be scheduled by our Care Coordinators, through the Let’s Connect tab. You will then schedule appointments directly with your therapist either in session or email. We encourage scheduling recurring sessions so that you can count on meeting weekly at a given time and adjust your calendar accordingly.

Yes! In fact, our practice is now exclusively virtual which offers you the flexibility to have your therapy from anywhere you’d like, while not compromising on quality of care.

TALK TO YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY

The amount that insurance companies are willing to reimburse is dependent on your specific plan. Get information from them about your benefits. Here are some questions to ask:

• What are my mental health benefits with an out-of-network provider?

• Is there a deductible that must be met in order to receive these benefits?

• How much is it and have I met it yet?

• What is the coverage amount? Is it a percentage or a flat-rate?

• How much do you reimburse for CPT codes 90791, 90834, and 90837?

• The practice location will be listed as Seattle, WA on superbills. Will this cause any issue?

Studies continue to demonstrate the importance of attending weekly sessions, especially at the beginning of therapy. With weekly sessions, you will receive the guidance, support, and accountability necessary to make lasting change. Momentum and motivation are also more easily maintained when meeting weekly.

This depends greatly on factors such as the issue, motivation, history, accountability, as well as many others. We like to keep the length of therapy as an open conversation throughout the process, checking-in on how we're doing with getting you to your goals.

Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes! We are an inclusive practice that values non-judgmental, informed, and supportive care regardless of relational or sexual configuration.

If you are hoping to work on an issue that involves your partner, we typically recommend coming together. However, it is difficult to generalize this, so we recommend contacting us and we can discuss options.

There is no normal sexual expression. Our goal is not to make you “normal” but rather to find what is going to make you feel open and confident expressing your authentic sexual self!

Yes, our sessions are confidential. We use HIPAA-compliant systems for email, electronic health record keeping, and telehealth appointments. There are some ethical and legal limitations to that rule that we will discuss in our first session.

We do not have a physical office location as we are now exclusively a virtual practice. We are currently able to offer our services to residents of DC, VA, MD, or WA.
