COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT COUNSELING
Are you an in-network provider with my insurance company?
I am currently in-network with PacificSource, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, MODA, First Choice Health, and Aetna. In order to ensure that I am in-network with your specific plan, please contact your insurance company directly.
Please note that I am only contracted with commercial plans at this time. I am not contracted with any OHP plans, even if they are managed by a company such as PacificSource.
How do I pay for sessions?
Payment is due in full at the time of service. Prices are listed on the Services section.
I accept payment by credit card and HSA cards. When you sign into the online portal, you will receive instructions on how to store it on the client portal once you complete the intake paperwork.
What happens if I cannot attend our scheduled appointment?
If you cannot attend our session, please contact me by email, text, or phone as soon as possible so that I will be able to adjust my schedule accordingly. Although it is helpful to have as much notice as possible, I require notice to be made by noon on the business day prior to the session. Sessions cancelled without prior notice will be subject to a late cancellation fee.
If you would like to reschedule your appointment, please visit the client portal at https://livingwellcounselinginc.clientsecure.me and you can do so online.
What if I need to contact the therapist before or between my appointments?
It is difficult to guarantee the confidentiality of information that is transmitted over email or texting. If you need to contact me for something other than scheduling, it is recommended that you call.
