As a licensed professional counselor, I am credentialed with multiple insurance panels: Aetna, Moda Health, Regence Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and PacificSource. I MAY be able to bill other insurance companies as an out-of-network provider, but that is entirely dependent on your benefit coverage. Please contact me if you have any questions about payment options.
