At Dandelion Counseling, our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Our licensed mental health counselor, Maria Klots, has dedicated her professional career to helping people of all ages find meaningful changes and relief from suffering. With a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Bastyr University, Maria combines Humanistic, Existential, Client-Centered, and Psychodynamic approaches to tailor her therapeutic style to each individual's unique needs.

Our Services

We offer a range of counseling services designed to promote personal growth, self-awareness, and healing. Our services include individual, couples, and family therapy sessions, as well as child-centered play therapy for kids. Our therapeutic approach is both educational and therapeutic, focusing on empowering individuals to find healthy ways to meet their needs and live a more fulfilling life. Maria believes that each person is fundamentally healthy and good, and that by gaining insight into oneself, individuals can find relief from suffering and live a more authentic life.

Child-Centered Play Therapy

Play is a natural language for kids to explore and express their feelings, emotions, relationships, and understand themselves in the challenging world of adults. Through play, art, and sandbox therapy, kids learn to know and accept themselves and develop new skills to navigate their lives in a safe environment. Maria is specially trained in child-centered play therapy, providing a unique and effective approach to helping children overcome challenges and thrive.

Fees and Payment

We believe that financial hardship should never prevent access to therapy. That's why we offer a sliding scale fee structure to accommodate varying financial needs. Our standard fees are as follows: individual 45-minute sessions are $140, and family or couples 75-minute sessions are $180. We do not accept insurance at this time, but most insurance plans may reimburse with a superbill form provided. Please contact us to inquire about our sliding scale and to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation prior to your first session.
