Teletherapy Sessions
I use a HIPAA compliant video conference system offered through Simple Practice. Clients are able to access a secure link to our sessions and can use a laptop or cell. If the internet goes out, we’ll switch to a phone call using my secure HIPAA compliant phone app, IPlum.
I am currently licensed in Oregon and Illinois. I can work with clients via teletherapy in both states. Due to the ongoing pandemic and my strong belief in supporting immunocompromised, disabled, and other marginalized communities facing the majority of health consequences from the ongoing pandemic, I am not offering in-person meetings.
Billing
I use IvyPay, a secure HIPAA compliant payment application built specifically for therapists (like Square but with confidentiality protections). I will text you a link to put your credit/debit/or HSA card on file, and once you enter it, I will be able to run the card remotely at each session.
Insurance and Fees
For Oregon clients: I am in network with PacificSource commercial plans (employer based, marketplace individual and families, universities etc). If you are not in-network with PacificsSource, I accept out of pocket payment and can provide you with a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance company if you have out of network benefits. If you have a HSA (Health Savings Account), you can use it for our sessions.
For Illinois clients: I can work with you on a self-pay out-of-pocket basis.
As a social justice focused practice, I offer several reduced fee spots for clients experiencing multiple levels of systemic marginalization that cause other therapy options to be inaccessible. In recognition of the historical and current harm caused to these communities and individuals by the field of psychology, priority is given to QTBIPOC clients (queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of color).
Please contact me to find out about rates and current availability.
No Surprises Act and Good Faith Estimates
In 2022, the federal No Surprises Act (H.R. 3630) went into effect. While the majority of this bill is aimed at educating consumers about their financial rights when seeking health care services at hospitals or facilities that may include out of network providers, all health care providers (including private practice mental health care professionals) are now required to notify clients of their out of network rights. This includes providing a notice on our websites, as well as providing clients paying for services out of pocket a Good Faith Estimate of costs detailing hourly rates for services. If you are a current client paying out of pocket, you will be provided a Good Faith Estimate annually.
