Clutch Psychotherapy LLC

Do you find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns despite knowing and wanting something different for yourself? That's where I can help. I specialize in helping people who struggle from the effects of trauma, relationships/dating, and issues around self confidence, self esteem, & perfectionism. I've practiced psychotherapy in Canada for over 10 years and now I currently work in Oregon & Washington. I've worked in various clinical settings including inpatient, outpatient, community health, as a crisis counselor, & as a college professor. As an integrative therapist, I draw from several therapeutic frameworks in order to meet your unique needs. My specialty is in trauma-informed care with advanced training in EMDR and IFS. Remember, you don't have to do this alone. If it seems like we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free exploratory chat to find out how I work, how I may be able to help, and to answer any questions you may have. I am currently offering in person and telehealth sessions. I also offer limited evening and weekend availabilities. Also offering EMDR Intensives, including weekend intensives (2 days/3 hours per day) and week intensives (3 days/2 hours per day) when clinically appropriate. FEES & BILLING: 165$ per session (Individual counseling); 185$ per session (couples counseling). Payment can be made via credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), Zelle, or check. I am out of network with all insurance companies. After each session, I will provide you with a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement purposes. Please note that if you use insurance for mental health coverage any clinician you work with will be required to give you a formal mental health diagnosis from the DSM-V. For this reason, some clients prefer not to use insurance and pay out of pocket.

Also, my rate is posted. It is impossible for me to predict the number of sessions you would benefit from for several reasons. The number of sessions and your budget are in your control, as I am an Out of Network provider. I can say that people typically see me for at least 6 months to 1 year. The issues people often see me for tend to be related to anxiety, depression, grief, residual effects of trauma/PTSD, and issues around self-esteem/self-confidence. In processing these types of issues, everyone is utterly unique. It would not be ethical or therapeutic for me to assign a diagnosis prior to meeting you and with the treatment modalities I employ and am trained in.
