Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve compiled a list of the most frequent questions that I have received over my career. It’s normal and encouraged for patients to ask many questions when choosing to work with a licensed Therapist. Here are some answers to the questions I receive the most. If you can’t find what you are looking for, please get in touch.
Do you only offer telehealth appointments?
We are currently offering Telehealth appointments for the states of California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Massachusetts, Alaska, and Idaho.
Are you accepting new clients?
Yes! We are accepting a limited number of new patients at this time. Please email admin@holdinghopetherapy.org for an appointment.
Missed appointments?
If you miss more than 2 appointments then you run the risk of not being seen again and receiving a termination letter. Those who repeatedly skip appointments may forfeit their right to future service at Holding Hope Therapy. Clients will be charged the full session fee for any non-emergency missed sessions that are not cancelled with 72 hour notice.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! I am an in-network provider with Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield, covering clients with both Alaska and Washington plans. With other insurance providers, I am considered out-of-network. I can provide you with a monthly "superbill" (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We cannot guarantee reimbursement from your insurance company. We accept all major credit cards and FSA/HSA cards as forms of payment.
Note: Because mental health benefits vary, I always recommend calling the number on the back of your Premera card prior to our first session to confirm your specific outpatient mental health benefits, copay, or deductible. If your claim is denied, you will be responsible for the full amount at the time of the session.
What do you treat?
I am able to treat anxiety, depression, grief, complex trauma, OCD, PTSD, Complex Trauma, abandonment and neglect, personal development, spiritual development, individual counseling, abuse recovery, women's issues, codependency, Lifespan Integration Therapy, counseling for caretakers of children with chronic illness and special needs, racial trauma, multi-cultural counseling, religious/church trauma, and marital and couples counseling.
How does it work and what will can I expect in the sessions?
In our first session, we will build a relationship, clarify your main concerns, and create a plan with goals to achieve the outcomes you want. I will tailor therapy to your specific needs. I take an assimilative integration approach to counseling, including but not limited to Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Lifespan Integration. You will receive paperwork ahead of your appointment, and your mental health professional will be familiar with the information you provide.
