Sliding fee spots may be available for self-pay (this means you choose not to use your insurance) clients. The sliding fee can go as low as 25% discount (about $130 for intake, $110 thereafter). I do NOT ask for any income verification and trust your judgement to choose what is affordable for you. This option is available only if I am not in network with your insurance, and you are choosing not to involve your insurance including asking for reimbursement as an out-of-network benefit.
I proudly work with Asian Pacific Cultural Center to serve our local AAPI community! Please check the link below to learn more about how to access their mental health fund. You must reside in Pierce County and identify as AAPI. I am also holding a couple of workshops with them in Februrary and April 2023. https://www.asiapacificculturalcenter.org/mentalhealth
I am committed to provide affordable services to people like me within my capabilities (hey I cannot afford my full fee! It is not to be underpaid by insurance companies...always higher than any of my contract rates with them). It is why I am taking some insurances as an in-network provider. Although my biller will gladly verify your benefits before your intake, it is still your responsibility to check with your insurance company about your outpatient mental health benefits.

- LifeWise of Washington
- Lyra EAP
- Premera Blue Cross
- SOME of Out of State Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans (need to verify first) *
*Headway handles billing for Aetna/GEHA and some Blue Cross Blue Shield plans
If I am out-of-network, I do NOT bill them directly. Instead, I will provide you with an itemized bill of full fee aka superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network coverage/reimbursement. Please make sure your insurance has such benefits first to avoid surprising cost! They are typically more expensive for you than your in-network benefits.
Payment is due when your explanation of benefits from your insurance company arrives. You will be asked to provide your payment information before intake via my portal. It will be securely stored in my HIPAA compliant platform. Even I will not be able to see your full information! Once I charge your fee, you will receive a recipt via email.
