Then, a bit of paperwork

Prior to your intake session, you will receive a link to create an account with Theranest, our secure online client portal. Through this system, you can complete your intake paperwork at your convenience which will provide us with information about yourself that you want to share in advance. Your therapist will review this before your first session.

Your Initial Intake

During your first session, your initial intake, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, what your life currently looks like, and what your goals and hopes are for therapy. We will decide during your initial intake session what frequency of appointments makes sense for your unique situation and adjust periodically as needed. You and your counselor will discuss a plan for your therapy which will be reviewed periodically during your treatment.

Ongoing Therapy

After your initial intake, individual sessions are generally 53 minutes and typically occur weekly or every other week.

Additionally, we can coordinate your care with other providers you might be working with, such as your primary care doctor, psychiatrist, naturopath, or physical therapist. This communication is by no means required, but can offer all of your providers a more holistic picture of you so that you are fully supported in healing.

On Insurance:

(Read our blog post on Insurance 101 for more info)

All of our providers are in-network with Premera, Lifewise, and Kaiser insurance plans. Our fully licensed therapists are in-network with First Choice insurance plans. We are considered an out of network provider for all other insurance plans (Regence, Aetna, Cigna, United/Optum, Medicaid, Medicare, etc).

As a service to clients who would like to use their insurance benefits (regardless of in or out of network), we will contact your insurance company to find out what your coverage is. We will then inform you what will be covered by your insurance (if any) and what your out-of-pocket cost will be.

We courtesy bill for all clients using their insurance, regardless of our in or out of network status with your insurance carrier. This means that you do not have to deal with submitting superbills to your insurance and waiting for reimbursement. We submit the claims on your behalf, and we wait for insurance reimbursement. Read more about superbills and courtesy billing here.

We do our insurance billing this way because we understand that accessibility is an important factor when seeking services. We want to make therapy as accessible as possible for anyone who is seeking support. Contact us for more information about coverage and your specific insurance plan.

We do not bill insurance for couples counseling. Click here for more information on why.
