Counseling:

                  Problems I Treat​:
​
  • All anxiety disorders, including panic and phobias​
  • Disorders in Pregnancy and postpartum
  • ​Other common emotional problems like depression, trauma, and relationship problems

​Schools of thought & Approaches: 
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Psychology, and Logotherapy.
These ways of helping people are evidence based and effective at reducing symptoms and addressing
​ underlying problems.

How can you be seen?

Online:      
If you have a smartphone or a computer with Internet access, I can see you for video counseling wherever you are. 
Resources, documents, and payment are all electronic. 
Everything is secure, private, and HIPAA compliant.
​
In Person:
I also see clients in-person : my office is located at 470 Spring Street, suite 100A, in Friday Harbor Washington on the island of San Juan. Every 4th week of the month I see all clients online so I can travel to teach classes and do work on the mainland.

Rates ​& billing: 

    RATES:​
  • Counseling sessions are 53 minutes and cost $110.
  • I accept HSA and FSA cards. New Paths makes no guaranty regarding your company's reimbursement.
  • I do not bill insurance for you, though I will provide an invoice through Ivy Pay that you can also use as a superbill to submit to your insurance or health savings account company.  Clients pay for their sessions through the Ivy Pay app that sends clients a payment text after sessions. See more information on the 'Payment' page.​

     HOW PAYMENT AND INVOICING HAPPEN:
  • You self-pay using the Ivy Pay text that comes to your phone when your session is finished.
  • You will be sent a super-bill receipt automatically from Ivy Pay. This can be used to assist you in applying for reimbursement from your FSA/HSA or insurance company (New Paths does not guarantee reimbursement.)
  • If you email me I am happy to discuss any additional questions you may have around payment and receipts.

Confidentiality and Privacy Policy:

The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist and information cannot be disclosed without written permission.
Exceptions include:
  • Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse, for which I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
  • If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
  • If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.
