- Do you have a wait list, how can I get my child on it?
- I no longer keep a wait list. The need for services is high in our area and I found that a wait list became unethical-- families were waiting over one year. To check whether I am taking new clients, give me a call at: 541-203-0275 or send me an email to [email protected].
- Can I come into the room when you are doing play therapy with my child?
- Parents are asked to wait in the waiting room while their child does her play therapy session. A few exceptions to this practice exist. If you have specific concerns, please speak to me directly.
- How does play therapy work?
- Play therapy offers the child a chance to express emotion through her innate form of communication: play. In the playroom, the child creates play scenarios in which her experience of the world are re-created for the therapist to witness and support. The child works through stages of play in order to find, practice, and master new ways to respond to tough situations. The child uses the toys to fully express her world view as well as practice new ways of being in that world. The play therapist supports the child in fully exploring all the emotions she has in response to her environment. Furthermore, the therapist is present to support the child in identifying new ways to respond to stress and to practice these new skills. Synergetic Play Therapy focuses specifically on the lowest regions of the brain, allowing children to re-pattern their stress response.
- What insurance do you accept?
- I am an in-network provider with Samaritan and InterCommunity Health Network (IHN). For all other insurance providers, I can provide you with a "superbill" which is the document you need to request direct reimbursement from your insurance company. If you have questions about this, please ask me.
- How does billing work?
- I will directly bill both Samaritan and IHN for services. If there is a co-pay or co-insurance, I will collect that via my client portal using credit, debit, or HSA card.
- For other insurance coverage, I will keep a card on file (credit, debit, HSA) and bill that card for services. Then, I will provide you with a "superbill" and you can submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement. The cost for families includes any sessions that are not paid by insurance due to deductible, and then either a co-pay or co-insurance for each session thereafter. Your insurance provider can give you detailed information regarding what percentages of services they cover and what your cost will be. Please understand that I am an out-of-network provider for all insurers except Samaritan and IHN.

- Do you accept credit cards?
- Yes, payment is accepted via cash, check, and credit card/HSA card. Cards are preferred and kept on file for ease of payment.
