Confidential counseling for individuals
Call for an appointment or more information
New clients begin with a free, brief phone consultation to informally assess if I am a good fit for you. Counseling appointments are available Monday through Thursday during business hours. New clients are expected to generally schedule counseling appointments at least once per week at first, so the benefits of counseling can build up steadily.
Existing clients can view their appointment schedule and billing on my secure client portal.
I charge $220 per individual counseling session. Payment is due in full at time of service by check or credit card.
If you have an HSA, FSA, MSA, or HRA account (often with a high-deductible health insurance plan), you may be able to pay for counseling with an associated credit card.
Currently I am only seeing clients via secure Internet video.
You can download or print instructions for starting a video session with me.
Many health insurance plans will reimburse some of your counseling costs, if they consider your goals "medically necessary." I am an out-of-network provider, which may mean my services are not reimbursed as completely as a counselor who is in-network for your specific health insurance plan. Tricare, Medicare, and Medicaid (Denali Care and Denali Kidcare) will not cover my services.
After you pay me in full, I can provide an invoice necessary for you to submit your own insurance claims. The first time you submit a claim to an insurance plan, you should include a copy of this form: W-9-McCabe-EIN.pdf
If you want me to collaborate with your other health care providers, you can speed that up by authorizing Release of Information (ROI) using this form: Authorization for ROI
We can complete this form together, to make sure we both understand what you want. If you have already filled out a similar form with one of your other providers, it may be enough to give me a copy of that provider’s ROI form.
New clients will read and acknowledge my Notice of Privacy Practices on line when completing intake forms. If you want, you can download or read a copy of that Notice of Privacy Practices any time.
My highest priority for counseling is for you to feel comfortable expressing yourself with me. My commitment to you is that I will be open and respectful toward whatever you share with me, even experiences that carry pain, confusion, or embarrassment. From that place of trust and acceptance, we can engage in psychotherapy (often called talk therapy) and somatic therapy (gentle movement or touch) to explore and build ways for you to be stronger, happier, and more connected. Anything from working with anger, anxiety, or depression to creating your ideal livelihood is fair game for counseling.
My approach to counseling mixes features of many traditions, including mindfulness, psychodynamics, systems theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), somatic experiencing (SE), harm reduction, psychedelic integration, and relational/humanistic therapy. I prefer to work from a strengths orientation but can start with a more traditional problem orientation if you prefer. I use gentle humor to ease the intensity that sometimes makes counseling challenging. I combine these tools differently for each client because no two people need or want exactly the same thing.
Ideally you will guide your own counseling by noticing what does and does not feel helpful to you and sharing that with me as we go. That way, together, we practice you shaping your life according to your own designs, even while you are creating and refining those designs.
I hope you will be able to sense how satisfying it is to me to make my livelihood in this creative, collaborative, and ultimately meaningful way.
