Fees and insurance

Self and Other therapists are in network with Premera, Lifewise, First Choice Health Network, Optum, Anthem and most Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, and bill these insurances directly. Coverage varies by therapist; each bio lists current in-network plans.

For out of network billing a monthly statement can be provided that you can use to seek reimbursement from your insurance provider.

If you are planning to seek insurance reimbursement, you should contact your provider prior to the start of therapy, and verify your in-network or out-of-network coverage information.

Free initial 20-minute consultation

Our initial consultation is provided free of charge. This time is intended to assess whether this type of therapy is a good fit for you or to make referrals to other healthcare professionals if needed.

Our therapists will also use this time to discuss fees, scheduling, confidentiality, and whatever other concerns you may have about the process of beginning therapy. You can set up an initial consultation by phone, by email or through the convenient secure client portal.

Standard rate

Our current standard rate is $185 per individual session and $220 per couples session.

Sliding scale

Self and Other reserves sliding-scale spots at $45–$85 per session, offered by our newest clinicians under the supervision of experienced licensed therapists. Learn more on our low fee therapy page.
