Counseling Rates and Insurance

Sliding fee spots may be available for self-pay clients who choose not to use their insurance. These sliding fee options can reduce individual counseling rates by as much as 25% (for example, $150 for intake and $131.25 thereafter). I do NOT require any income verification and trust your judgment to select what is affordable for you. This option is available only when you decide not to involve your insurance in ANY way, including seeking reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. 

I proudly work with the Asian Pacific Cultural Center to support our local AANHPI community! Please check the link below to learn more about accessing the mental health funding for 5 free sessions. To qualify for this fund, you must reside in Pierce County, WA and identify as AANHPI.

The Lotus Fund by AMHC is dedicated to removing barriers to access mental health care for Asian adult individuals across the nation. While they may not always be accepting new applicants, it is beneficial to check periodically for their availability. If you are approved, you can receive up to 8 sessions at no cost to you, making it a valuable option for those concerned about individual counseling rates and insurance acceptance.

If I am out-of-network, I do NOT bill your insurance directly. Instead, I will provide you with an itemized bill of the full fee, also known as a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network coverage and reimbursement. PLEASE verify your insurance company for such benefits to avoid any unexpected costs, as the individual counseling rates are typically higher compared to your in-network benefits.
