Important Notes on Insurance

I am a private pay provider. Upon request, super-bills can be provided. Super-bills are itemized receipts for services which can be used for partial reimbursement from your insurance company. I recommend contacting your insurance prior to scheduling an appointment to verify out of network benefits.

Why do so many mental health care providers not take insurance? Choosing a private pay provider gives you greater privacy (insurance won’t have access to diagnoses, dates of service, or other sensitive and confidential health information) and you get the freedom to choose your own provider. Paying out-of-pocket also means insurance companies won’t be able to dictate what services look like for you. In my experience, this is a good thing!

If you are struggling with cost, please ask me about sliding rates. I have a limited number of reduced fee spaces.

Walk-and-Talk Therapy

The benefits of being outdoors and incorporating movement into our daily lives are well-known, as are the benefits of therapy. Walk-and-talk therapy is a way to combine both which can be helpful in several ways such as being in nature, stress-reduction, and mood-boosting movement, which is also good for cardiovascular health. The bilateral stimulation that occurs when we walk, moving from one foot to the other, is soothing for the nervous system and it can help our thoughts and feelings come up to the surface and out to be processed. Walking side-by-side in therapy can foster equality and collaboration by removing the face-to-face dynamic that some find hierarchical or intimidating. Sharing personal struggles, difficult subjects, and emotions can feel very vulnerable; walking side-by-side often helps clients feel less self-conscious and more comfortable opening up while sharing a common outdoor journey together. Some folks find it challenging to sit still and tend to focus better when they are moving. For others, with increasingly busy schedules, it can be tough to carve out time for movement and/or therapy, making walk-and-talk sessions a great option. While walking can be a wonderful tool for us to use together, there are small risks inherent to being outside and confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, so I will always leave it up to you to decide whether it’s the right choice for you. We can meet at my office and walk along the Westlake Trail on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Wednesdays and Fridays we can still walk along the Westlake Trail, we also have the option to meet at Greenlake or another trail for our session. Myrtle Edwards Park, the Olympic Sculpture Garden, Discovery Park, or the Burke-Gilman trail, starting in Ballard or Fremont are some options.

I offer walk-and-talk therapy for established clients (upon completion of an intake session plus one follow-up session). If you wish to incorporate walking into our sessions, let me know and we can discuss the details together.
