Services

Our psychotherapy services offer a comprehensive approach to mental health care, addressing the complex needs of individuals, couples, and families. We provide a safe and nurturing environment for clients to explore their gender identity, navigate relationships, and work through life's challenges.

Psychotherapy

Our psychotherapy services take an active approach, fostering a collaborative relationship between clients and therapists. This process-driven therapy empowers individuals to gain increased understanding of themselves, identify challenges in relationships, and develop strategies to overcome presenting concerns. While diagnosis may play a role in the therapeutic process, it is not the primary focus of our treatment.

Gender Transition Assessments

We offer assessments for gender-affirming medical procedures, documentation for DMV gender marker changes, referral letters for hormone therapy or surgery, and referrals to outside affirming providers. Our services also include support for clients navigating social transitions, de-transitions, or exploring their gender identity.

Insurance

We accept the following insurance companies: Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans (including Regence, Anthem, Premera, and out-of-state), Cigna, PacificSource, and some out-of-network plans. If your insurance is not accepted, our provider may be able to assist in submitting payment invoices to your insurance for reimbursement.

Fees and Payment

Our fee structure varies based on your insurance coverage. Standard fees for individual psychotherapy sessions are $150 per hour, diagnostic testing is $150 per hour, gender assessments are $200 per hour, and couple's or family sessions are $220 per hour. We also offer a limited number of sliding scale fee slots for clients who are unable to use insurance or afford full fees for services. Fees and co-pays are due at the time of service, unless otherwise noted.

Psychodiagnostic Assessment

When medication or therapy aren't working, or symptoms are having a negative impact at home, work, or school, psychodiagnostic assessment may be recommended as a way to clarify the issue and develop an effective treatment plan.
