Welcome. You may be visiting this site because you are struggling with a problem or emotional issue in your life. I want you to know that talking to a professional who will listen, understand and support you through whatever is troubling you is worth the effort.

Generally, women come to me because they are experiencing stress, anxiety, difficulty in relationships, challenges with parenthood (including birth, adoption, infertility), or moving past trauma. Other common issues are grief, low self-esteem/feelings of unworthiness, work stress and adjusting to changes in life (moves, coupling/uncoupling, college, loss, job changes, etc.).

Here you will find knowledge, compassion and support - a safe haven to explore and resolve your troubles. You'll get to know yourself more deeply, and heal from painful experiences and relationships that may have hurt you. We can work together to move you in your right direction.

With the transition to exclusively teletherapy (online HIPAA-compliant audio & video platform), I can see clients throughout Washington state. I'm located in northeast Seattle, with an excellent internet connection and secure teletherapy setup. Contact me via email (preferred) at mysti@seattlesongbird.com, or call (206) 383-8637. I look forward to hearing from you.

Fees

For Therapy Clients:

My fee is $180 for a 55-minute hour counseling session. Hour and a half and two hour sessions are possible, with fees based on the hourly rate. I hold 2 spots in my weekly schedule for those needing a sliding-scale, so if you are facing financial hardship, please inquire. Payment is made at each session, and I can accept most HSA/HRA, credit and debit cards through IvyPay (I'll initiate setting this up with you when we first meet). I have a firm 24-hour cancellation policy.

I do not contract with insurance companies, but I can provide you with a monthly or quarterly superbill that you can submit to your health insurance or employer to seek reimbursement. It is up to you to check with your insurance provider about your coverage for out of network providers and their services. If your company requests more information than is provided on the receipt, I will provide a brief summary of treatment and an explanation of why further treatment would be beneficial; I will not provide a treatment plan or therapy notes. You retain ultimate responsibility for payment for services whether or not your insurance company decides to reimburse you.

For Those Seeking Clinical Supervision or Consultation:

An hour of clinical supervision or consultation is $180. (I do offer a sliding scale system for those just starting out in private practice- please ask me about this). If you would like to share with a peer, I offer 90-minute shared meetings for $300 ($150 each). I've been supervising and consulting with clinicians in private practice since 2015. I love supervising, and look forward to working with many more associate therapists in the years to come.

Your well-being is worth the cost of therapy, and you deserve excellent wellness work. I look forward to engaging in this journey with you!
