How to get started:

I do not currently have openings for traditional, long-term, weekly sessions.

I do have availability for short-term EMDR work.

I do have availability for this. It usually involves 1-2 EMDR sessions a week for a short time (3-8 weeks). This is for clients who have PTSD from an incident/situation that is impacting their day to day life

-this is not the best option for someone who has unresolved complex trauma.

I do have availability for this.

If you have a regular therapist and want to add EMDR therapy for a short time, and you have a fairly flexible schedule, I can likely accommodate doing 1-2 one-hour EMDR sessions a week for a short time (3-12 weeks). This is for clients who have PTSD that is impacting their day to day life enough that they need extra support that can add to the work that they have already done.

-It is possible that this could be appropriate for people with complex and/or childhood trauma who have worked with another therapist to develop solid coping skills.

Please note: I would need to collaborate with your current therapist.

I have limited openings for EMDR Intensives —Long sessions of EMDR. (these are not billable to insurance and I can’t do them if I’m contracted with your insurance.)

I have limited openings for EMDR Couples Retreats (not billable to insurance).

I an an in-network provider for:

Regence, Kaiser, First Choice,
HMA, Asuris and Bridgespan.

Please confirm with your insurance that I am a provider for your specific plan.

I am an out of network provider for BCBS plans other than Regence. I use a service called Thrizer to streamline the process of getting reimbursed.

How it works:

I will send you an invite to Thrizer, my payment system that handles the out-of-network process automatically for you. They will verify your coverage and will submit and manage your out-of-network claims for you. Once the claim is approved in a few weeks, you will receive a paper check reimbursement for our session.

We will first check to confirm you have out-of-network benefits. If so, I will use Thrizer to charge you for sessions.

How it works:

1. I will email you a link to create your Thrizer account (you can also check for yourself ahead of time by going to the Thrizer site)

2. Add your insurance information and a payment method to set up your account

3. Review your out-of-network benefits and estimated reimbursement amount to clarify any questions you have

4. I will charge you via Thrizer for our appointments

5. You will receive a reimbursement check after a few weeks

You will not pay any fees for this service - Thrizer will submit and manage your claims completely for free.

How it works:

I will send you an invite to Thrizer, my payment system that handles the out-of-network process automatically for you. They will verify your coverage and allow you to only pay a copay for our sessions after you meet your deductible. This means that you can save on our sessions upfront instead of paying my full rate and waiting for your insurance reimbursement.

Here is a resource to help with your setup process.

Please note: They charge a 5% fee (of my rate) if you would like to just pay a copay; you will pay that fee at the time of our session along with your copay. If you are okay paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursement, you have the option to choose that route instead for just a 1% fee. That fee gets deducted from the reimbursement that comes to your bank account. If you are still working towards a deductible, you do not pay any fees.
