Each family’s need when coming to me for therapy is unique, and finding the best way to provide therapy—whether through telehealth, by meeting outside, or wearing PPE—is determined with me and my clients on a case-by-case basis. Reach out today, and we can find a time to talk about your needs and comfort level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f19c15bc75b043564a1de93/1596375611468-CRWP0XSLFAAXI0N5DRPK/play-therapy-children-blocks.jpg Home - Clinical Supervision I am a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor and also an approved clinical supervisor for mental health providers seeking licensure in WA State. https://www.kristinmuellercounseling.com/about daily 0.75 2020-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f19c15bc75b043564a1de93/1595944348326-FAO9GAO1XD842X0G8DQF/KristinMueller_TherapistSeattle.png About https://www.kristinmuellercounseling.com/family-therapy-services daily 0.75 2020-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f19c15bc75b043564a1de93/1595966088468-J5NQNQGZCIOZAK63OJ58/KristinMueller_WorkPlayTherapy.png Family Services https://www.kristinmuellercounseling.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-06-22 https://www.kristinmuellercounseling.com/clinical-supervision daily 0.75 2020-08-21 https://www.kristinmuellercounseling.com/fees daily 0.75 2023-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f19c15bc75b043564a1de93/1595958918420-76VHAF9649BV4997OMVM/Adolescent_Therapy_KristinMueller.jpg Fees - Intake + Fees When I begin to work with a family, I prefer to have an initial telephone consultation to answer any questions and then proceed with scheduling the initial intake-appointment. There is no charge for the telephone call as it provides us with the opportunity to speak freely and get a better sense of the work we might do together in therapy. After the initial telephone consultation, an intake appointment is scheduled, and I will provide additional information regarding my fee schedule, and billing procedures. Read on for more information about insurance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f19c15bc75b043564a1de93/1595959575117-ZILXQDYK8HC3IUO88BMB/WorkPlayTherapy_SeattleWA.jpg Fees - Insurance Options I am a preferred provider with First Choice Health, Regence BlueShield, and Premera Blue Cross, and I am an out-of-network provider for other insurance plans. I strongly encourage you to contact your insurance company before your initial appointment to inquire about your mental health benefits. Your insurance provider should be able to provide you with information that is specific to your plan, any deductible that you may be responsible for, or any pre-approval or referrals that may be required by your individual insurance policy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f19c15bc75b043564a1de93/1595960839588-ZZPCK6F5UYI207ZKS8Q9/Therapist+Office.jpg Fees - Private Pay Options Some individuals choose to pay out-of-pocket for therapy services in order to maintain privacy and avoid some of the constraints that insurance companies impose on therapeutic services (i.e., the necessity of assigning a diagnosis, a pre-determined amount of sessions allocated to the client, access to clinical records). Please feel free to discuss this with me if you have any questions or if this is an option that you find preferable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f19c15bc75b043564a1de93/1595959744411-BWH8N2CGXLNAC4XYNQXH/girl-watching-through-imac-4143793.jpg Fees - Cancellation Policy Because an appointment slot is time that is saved specifically for you, there will be an $85 charge for appointments that are missed or are canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice. This fee is not payable by insurance.
