Do you take insurance?
I currently take Aetna, Cigna, Oregon Health Plan, and United Healthcare insurance. For other insurance companies, I will provide a “Superbill” upon request for you to submit to your insurance company and apply it toward your out-of-network benefits. Please verify with your insurance company if this is an option for you.
Questions to ask your insurance company:
Does my insurance cover out-of-network mental health services?
What is my deductible? Has it been met?
Is a referral required from my primary health physician?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance plan cover?
What are your fees/rates?
My fee for an initial intake assessment is $225. See below for detailed fee information.
Individual Therapy
$150/50-minute session
Couple, and Family Therapy
$200/50-minute session
Financial policy
Payment is due at the time of services.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to the appointment and no shows, will be charged the full service fee.
I accept Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts in addition to cash, credit cards and Venmo app payments.
Federal No Surprise Act
The Federal No Surprise Act was put into place so clients understand the costs of healthcare services. Shimo Counseling LLC will provide to you a Good Faith estimate at the beginning of services, so you will have no surprises for your cost of services.
Are you seeing clients in-person?
Yes, I am seeing clients in-person in my office spaces in Lake Oswego, and Beaverton. I have limited in-person spots available at this time.
