We currently have an office in the west suburb of Portland. OR, however, since COVID-19, we have shifted our practice 100% online by having HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions for all sessions scheduled. We are actively adapting to the ever-changing needs of our clients and are pleasantly surprised by the added emotional safety of remote sessions provided for people. We are pleased to offer a secure way to engage with our community while keeping everyone safe.

I understand when we might not have all the resources we need to seek quality care. For this reason, I reserve a portion of my caseload to sliding scale/low fee clients. Feel free to check in with me regarding the availability of this option.

Based on how the current insurance system is set up, in order to use your in-network insurance benefits, the insurance company requires me to give you a mental illness diagnosis. This diagnosis becomes part of your permanent medical record and may negatively impact your future life choices ( adoption, life insurance, employment, etc.). In addition, therapy under an in-network insurance panel is not confidential. Insurance companies and managed care panels essentially become another person in your treatment, as they require reports about our meetings to authorize sessions. They also have the power to decide how many sessions you will receive. Navigating this naturally takes away our time from focusing on you and your care. More importantly, we believe that those crucial decisions should be made between you and your therapist, not a stranger from the insurance office.

For these concerns on in-network insurances benefits, we choose to accept only out-of-network benefits for insurances purposes. If you would like to use your insurance, we will assist by providing you with a "superbill" (An itemized receipt) for you to take advantage of any out-of-network benefits that your plan offers. Depending on your plan, your insurance company may reimburse your session cost up to 100%. Please note that a diagnosis is still required, but we will have confidentiality and control over your course of treatment.

1. Do I have out of network benefits for outpatient mental health services?

2. Are tele-health services eligible for reimbursement ?

Your insurance company may ask you what the “service code” is. Here are the service codes we use:

• 90791: Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation (For first appointment)

• 90837: 60 minute psychotherapy

• 90834: 45 minute psychotherapy

• 90847: Family Psychotherapy with patient present

• 90846: Family Psychotherapy without patient present

• 90832: 30 minute psychotherapy (would only be used if session is cut short for any reason)

Perhaps you have been through many therapy websites and waved through quite a few profiles. Searching for a therapist can be a tricky process. I honor and understand the frustration, hope, and worry in starting your therapy work. Therefore, I offer a free 15 mins phone consultation to help discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have.

My hope is by the end of the call, you will have a better sense of the service I provide and can make a more informed decision for yourself.

The length of your treatment is mainly dependent on the specific issues you wish to discuss in therapy.

Generally speaking, people who commit to a weekly session start to experience a noticeable improvement in 12-16 sessions. A more sustained change happens at around six months of therapy, with individual variation, depending on your presenting concerns.

Research shows that a combination of a few factors determines your progress:

• Your commitment to the process.

• Your compatibility with your therapist.

• Your therapist's expertise.

During our first session, we will work together to develop a treatment plan that makes the best use of our time together.

The timeline largely depends on the fluctuation of your therapist's schedule. Usually, sessions are available to be scheduled as soon as 5-10 days from the initial contact. If you are ready now, no click here to skip the wait and request a session.  

If this is your first time going to therapy, I imagine it may be both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. I know what that feeling feels like, and congratulations on taking this crucial first step. To help you better prepare, I found this article provides some helpful information about what will happen during our first session. 

Before arriving for your first appointment, it could also be helpful to take a moment and think about what you would like to accomplish through therapy. How have you been feeling lately? How would you like to feel? You do not have to feel obligated to tell your therapist "everything" during your first session. Instead, it is simply an opportunity to share enough and check-in with yourself on how you feel sitting with your therapist. It may also be helpful to think about what questions you might have for your therapist during your first session. You will know that a therapist is a good fit for you when you feel at ease, heard, and confident in their ability to help you during your first session.
