Fees and FAQ
Who do you work with?
I work with adults age 18+ who are in Oregon at the time of service. I only work with individuals — I don't offer couples or family therapy.
Do you accept my insurance?
I am in-network with Aetna, Aetna EAP and Canopy EAP/Revive EAP. I'm working on getting credentialed with several other major insurance companies and hope to be in-network with more companies by early 2027. I accept cash-pay clients, or can give you a bill that you give your insurer for reimbursement using your out-of-network benefits. Check with your insurance plan to find out what your out-of-network (OON) benefits, copay, deductible and any session limits might be. You can estimate your out-of-network benefits at https://eligibility.thrizer.com/wild-perennial-therapy-llc.
What are your fees?
A 53-minute session is $175, and initial intake assessment sessions are $250. I offer a limited number of reduced fee sessions ($120+) for cash-pay, financially challenged clients who pay on the day of service.
Are sessions held in person or online?
I offer in-person sessions on Thursdays in Southeast Portland, and online, telehealth sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and some Sundays. A limited number of early evening sessions may be available, but they fill up quickly.
What mental health issues do you treat?
While I can treat a wide range of diagnoses, my specialties include depression, anxiety and other mood disorders, adjustment disorder, prolonged grief, PTSD and trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum, and gender dysphoria, to name a few. Let's talk more about your diagnoses during our initial consultation.
Do you offer a free initial consultation?
Yes! I offer a no-cost, 15 minute consultation so we can get to know each other and see if we'd be a good fit to work together.
What do you do to protect my privacy?
I take privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Unlike many clinicians, I will never allow AI to summarize notes or access documentation from our work; I've carefully chosen an electronic health records system (Sessions Health) that allows me to opt out of AI; and I am transparent about documentation procedures and what is and is not confidential in our work together. I offer cash pay options for those wanting even more privacy with no insurance involvement whatsoever.
