Frequently asked questions

  • You can reach out to me via phone at (206) 338-3990 or submit a contact inquiry. We’ll set up a 15-minute free phone consultation where we can discuss if therapy at Equilibrium CBT will be a good fit for you based on your treatment goals and current symptoms.

  • I do not participate in any insurance plans, but at your request I can provide you with a superbill you can submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. If you are interested in learning about your out-of-network benefits, call your insurance directly and ask them:

    • Do I have out-of-network benefits for counseling/mental health services?

    • What is my out-of-network deductible?

    • What is the out-of-network reimbursement rate for a 90837 CPT code?

    • How do I submit a claim for reimbursement?

    Alternatively, you can consider using a company such as Mentaya which will help you receive out-of-network insurance reimbursement.

  • Clients are charged $260 for a full 50-55 minute therapy session and $520 for the initial two hour intake evaluation. Payment is due on the day of service. I accept Debit/Credit/HSA/FSA cards.

    In an effort to make high-quality, evidence based therapy more accessible, I provide a limited number of reduced fee spots for clients specifically referred to me through certain professional organizations. These services are typically provided to students or individuals who have historically been restricted from accessing equitable mental health treatment.

  • All of my sessions are conducted virtually via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video & phone platforms. This provides added convenience for my clients and flexibility to have sessions out of your home/work when clinically indicated. Current research shows that there is no significant difference in treatment outcomes when comparing in-person to teletherapy.

  • The first session is a two hour intake evaluation where we gather information on your history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. Once the intake is complete, you are provided with feedback on the results of the assessment and we discuss my recommendations for your tailored CBT treatment plan.

    Following this meeting you can decide to pursue a course of treatment at Equilibrium CBT.

  • I work exclusively with adults (18+). Please know that I do not provide 24/7 therapeutic support. My speciality is in anxiety and anxiety-related disorders. I do not typically work with acute mood issues (Bipolar, BPD), severe substance-use concerns, legally-mandated therapy, or problems with severe suicidality & self harm (this is different from OCD-based harm thoughts). I am also unable to provide expert testimony for legal purposes or treatment specifically for workers comp. If you are unsure if my services would be right for you, please contact me to set up a 15-minute consultation call.

  • Please notify me 24 hours in advance if you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment. A missed appointment or failure to provide notification within this 24 hour time period will result in being fully charged for the scheduled session.
