What About Insurance?
I am licensed as a professional counselor by the state of Oregon, which makes me able to bill insurance. If I'm in your network, I'll bill them directly. If not, I will provide you with a document called a superbill to submit to your insurance so they can reimburse you for my fee. I am open to billing as an out of network provider if you can't afford to pay up front, just talk to me about your needs. Dealing with multiple clients' insurance companies is exactly as stressful as you might imagine--just multiply your own insurance headaches by 30 or 40, and also imagine that your livelihood depends on the caprices of those companies, too--well, you get the idea. This is the most effective way for me to have the peace, reduced stress, and self-care time to be the best possible therapy provider I can be for you, my clients--I want each and every one of you to get my absolute best. I am always preaching the crucial importance of self-care to clients; that message needs to be reinforced by actually practicing what I preach in how I operate my business.
