The practical details.
A few notes on rhythm, scheduling, and fees — so the work itself can be the focus.
A regular, weekly rhythm.
Clients generally schedule a time to see me on a regular, weekly basis. Continuity and momentum are vital to the therapeutic work, and our mutual protection of the appointment time is very important.
If you need to miss a session and provide advance notice, I will attempt to reschedule you. A 48-business-hours notice is required in order to avoid being charged for the session.
Payment is made at the beginning of the session by cash, check, or credit card (a processing fee is added to credit card charges).
If your insurance provider will be covering the cost of your counseling, you will need to make arrangements for direct reimbursement from your provider. You are responsible for obtaining, completing, and submitting appropriate insurance paperwork, as well as knowing the benefits and limits of your policy. I will provide invoices for services rendered.
One exception is Regence Blue Shield — I am an in-network provider for Regence and will bill them directly. Returned checks will be charged $50.00. Fees may increase periodically and are subject to change with four weeks' prior notification.
