Therapy Fees & Payment Information
Insurance Accepted
For Individuals Ages 13+
I accept Premera, Lifewise, Anthem, and most Blue Cross Blue Shield plans (including Regence of Idaho and Highmark). Services are billed at the insurance company’s contracted rate and are not eligible for the sliding scale.
I also provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Sliding Scale
For Children, Families, & Private Pay
I offer an equitable sliding scale because healing shouldn’t be limited by financial circumstances. Every private-pay client is invited to self-assess their resources and choose the rate that feels possible for them.
The three tiers—Accessible, Sustainable, and Equitable—are rooted in principles of collective care and mutual support within our community.
Sliding Scale - Private Pay Only
Choose Your Rate:
