Payment Options

Insurance Billing

I currently partner with Mindful Therapy Group for insurance billing. All clients wishing to use insurance will be seen at the downtown Tacoma office of Mindful Therapy Group.

Insurances accepted: Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser/Kaiser Northwest, PacificSource, Regence, United

Private Pay

I also accept a limited number of private/cash pay clients at my Stadium District office location. Clients may pay for their sessions with cash, credit card, or HSA at the time of their appointment. I can also provide a superbill (invoice) which I can help clients can send to their insurance for potential reimbursement. (See “Benefits Check” below to see your individual out-of-network benefits)

Why would a client choose private pay over using insurance benefits?

• Higher Level of Confidentiality. Insurance companies require therapists to share diagnosis information along with other details about each therapy session.

• Greater Flexibility for Client and Therapist. Insurance companies require therapists to follow specific session structures and often hold clients to a limited timeline and number of sessions. Private pay allows the client complete freedom in the type of care they want to meet their needs.

• No Mental Health Diagnosis Required. There are many people who come to therapy and do not need a mental health diagnosis. Others may want support from a therapist, but do not want a diagnosis in their health records for employment reasons. Insurance companies require a diagnosis to be assigned after the first session.

For clients wishing to use their out-of-network insurance benefits, I have partnered with Mentaya to help my clients save money on therapy. Use this tool below to see if you qualify for reimbursement for my services.
