Frequently Asked Questions
Child Therapy in Seattle

How to Get Started

Reaching out for support is an important step, and I aim to make the process simple, comfortable and supportive for both you and your child.


1. Initial Contact
Reach out through the contact form or by email to share what’s going on and what you’re hoping for support with.

2. Phone Consultation
We’ll schedule a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation to talk through your concerns, answer questions and determine if this feels like a good fit.

3. Meet & Greet (Optional)
I offer a complimentary 30-minute visit for your child to meet me and explore the space. Parents are encouraged to attend. This visit is relaxed, playful and pressure-free, helping children feel more comfortable before starting.

4. Intake Session
We’ll begin with a 50-minute intake session to get to know your child through conversation, observation and play.

5. Ongoing Sessions & Parent Partnership
Your child will attend regular sessions, and we’ll meet for parent consultations to support progress and connection at home. The first parent consultation is part of the intake process.

Do You Accept Insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly.

However, I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.

You may want to ask your insurance provider:

  • Do I have mental health benefits?

  • Are out-of-network providers covered?

  • What is the reimbursement rate?

  • Is pre-authorization required?

  • How many sessions are covered?
