Questions, answered honestly
What happens on the free consult call?
We talk for a few minutes about what is bringing you to therapy, you ask anything you want to know, and we both get a feel for whether this is a good fit. No pressure either way.
How do I get started?
Reach out through the contact form or email. You will hear back within 2 days, usually sooner, to set up your free phone consultation.
Are sessions really all online?
Yes, all sessions are virtual over secure video. You can be anywhere in Washington state.
What ages do you work with?
Adults, in individual therapy.
I've never done therapy before. What if I don't know what to say?
That is completely normal, and it is my job to help. There is no right way to do this. We start wherever you are.
Do I have to talk about my trauma right away?
No. Nothing happens before you are ready. Safety and trust come first, always.
What does neurodivergent-affirming mean?
It means your neurotype is respected as a difference, not treated as a disorder. Sessions adapt to how you think, process and communicate.
How much does it cost?
Sliding scale, $80 to $120 per session. Premera, Regence, Kaiser, Aetna and Cigna are accepted.
How long will I be in therapy?
As long as it is useful to you. Some people come for a season, others stay longer. We check in regularly about how it is working.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes, with narrow legal exceptions that we will review together in your first session, including risk of serious harm to yourself or others.
