How do I know if coaching or therapy is right for me?

Therapy is typically focused on exploring and healing past experiences, managing mental health conditions, and fostering personal growth. If you’re dealing with deep-seated emotional issues or mental health concerns, therapy may be the right choice. Therapy will also most likely involve a mental health diagnosis and consider your medical history and status.

Coaching, on the other hand, is future-oriented and goal-driven. It’s ideal for individuals seeking support in achieving specific objectives, enhancing performance, or navigating life transitions. While coaching may involve exploring how your current mindset is influenced by past experiences, it is more focused on empowering you to set and achieve specific goals, overcome obstacles, and create a proactive plan for success in the present and future.

Ultimately, the decision depends on your unique circumstances and goals. Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss which option is the best fit for you.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. I accept CareOregon, Aetna, Regence BCBS of Oregon, and Cigna. I also offer private pay options if you would like to work with me but I do not accept your current insurance.

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Do you offer therapy in Spanish?

Yes. I am bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish. I grew up in Latin America from age 4 to junior year in high school, primarily in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am comfortable providing therapy in Spanish and I provide a cultural understanding to my work with the Latino community.

What if I start services but don’t want to continue?

I hope the free consult will help us determine if we’re a good fit, and I’m excited about the opportunity to work together to figure this out. However, in the event that you choose to discontinue therapy after starting, I do have a refund policy if you are paying out of pocket.
