Frequently Asked Questions |
It’s normal to feel uncertain about the therapy process. Below are answers to the things people most often wonder about before reaching out. Please reach out if your question is not answered here.
-
Individual Therapy (53 minutes): $225
Couples Therapy:
Intake session (90 minutes): $300
Ongoing sessions (53 minutes): $225
Comprehensive Evaluation ADHD & Autism Evaluation: $3,000.
Payments are charged in three installments:
$500 deposit required at the time of scheduling to hold your evaluation slot. This deposit is applied toward the total cost.
50% due at the intake session (minus the $500 deposit).
Remaining 50% due at the last testing session.
Personalized payment plans are often able to be accommodated upon request.
Rooted Self Psychology does not accept insurance. Unfortunately, insurance often only covers brief assessments, removing the ability to deeply and holistically evaluate the full picture. A private pay evaluation allows for consistently high-quality work without the limitations and barriers imposed by insurance companies.
Superbills are available for those who would like to seek out-of-network reimbursement.
-
No, I do not accept insurance.
I am happy to provide a superbill for individuals who wish to use out-of-network (OON) benefits. If you’re unsure whether your plan includes out-of-network coverage, you can contact your insurance provider and ask whether they reimburse for psychotherapy services (billing code 90837).
Clients are encouraged to check their mental health benefits, including whether their deductible has been met. If your deductible has not yet been met, you may find that your out-of-pocket cost for therapy using insurance is similar to private-pay rates, depending on your plan.
Please Note: I do not provide superbills for couples therapy. Insurance companies generally do not reimburse for couples or relationship therapy unless one partner is identified as the “patient” and given a mental health diagnosis. In my work with couples, the relationship itself is the focus of treatment, not an individual partner, so this model does not align with how insurance requires services to be billed.

I specialize in supporting AuDHD adults understand their nervous system and recover from burnout. As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent person myself, I am able to draw from both clinical and lived experience.
I also work with individuals stuck in patterns of people pleasing and emotional avoidance.
While these are my specialties, they are not all inclusive of my work! If you’re wondering whether I might be able to help you, simply reach out for a free consultation.
-
The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the process.
Ultimately, you’ll get the clearest sense of our fit after the first session. You’ll know we are a good fit if you leave feeling understood and comfortable sharing without a filter. Past clients have shared that they feel comfortable working with me because I bring my authentic self to sessions, leaving you to focus on yourself rather than trying to read what I’m thinking. My style is warm and approachable while also directly challenging when needed. I help people understand what is contributing to chronic patterns by calling attention to what is observed in the here-and-now of the therapy room.
-
I provide therapy for individuals and couples in-person in Vancouver, Washington, or online for individuals or couples residing anywhere in Washington state.
I cannot see individuals located anywhere outside of Washington.
-
Standard sessions are 53 minutes.
If we find that this time is not enough for you, I may be able to offer extended sessions for an adjusted rate depending on availability.
-
No. While I recognize AI as a useful tool to support executive functioning at times, it has no place in the therapy room. Your sessions will not be recorded or transcribed with AI in any way.
