Currently, I am not in network with any insurance companies so am considered an out of network provider. I can provide you with superbills which you may submit to your insurance to request out-of-network reimbursement. Before meeting with me, I would recommend contacting your insurance company to inquire about out-of-network reimbursement rates for psychotherapy services.

Reach out to me here to schedule a free initial consultation call! Alternatively, you can email (mshope@shopepsychology.com) or call (425-224-3079) me to schedule.

If we decide at the intake appointment that we would be a good fit for therapy, we will collaboratively decide on a treatment plan. Most folks see me once a week, but if another frequency is appropriate, you and I will decide on that together at the start. I typically start off seeing folks once a week, and then eventually once you have met many or all of your therapy goals, we will taper down frequency (e.g., every other week, monthly). I will ask how you are feeling about therapy and your progress throughout our therapy relationship. If at some point you or I decide it is not working, we will discuss ways we can change the therapy plan (or end therapy) to make it more effective for you.

I currently do not offer in-person sessions. I solely see clients via telehealth.

I am located in Western Washington. However, I am fully telehealth so I can see clients located anywhere in Washington state. I also am a PSYPACT Authorization Holder, which means I can see folks located in any of the 43 states that have enacted PSYPACT legislation.

Under the No Surprises Act, uninsured or self-pay individuals are entitled to receive a “good faith estimate” of what they may be charged before receiving a service. The “good faith estimate” (or GFE) is a notification that includes an uninsured or self-pay individual’s expected charges for a scheduled or requested item or service.

I provide all clients with a “good faith estimate” outlining expected costs of our sessions once you have scheduled your first session with me. I also provide “good faith estimates” upon request.
