FAQs

  • I am in network with Premera and Lifewise insurance plans. To verify your insurance benefits, I recommend you ask your insurance plan representative some of the below questions:

    • What are my mental health benefits?

    • Does a deductible apply? 

    • (If yes) How much is my deductible?

    • What is my copay (or coinsurance)?

    • Does my plan have any special coverage for telehealth office visits?

    • My therapist is a member of a group practice, Shelterwood Collective. Their tax # is 47-4860247 and their NPI-2 is 1538663604. Can you confirm that this group is in network with my plan?

  • I offer both in-person and telehealth services. In-person sessions are conducted in my office in Kirkland.

  • I speak and understand conversational Korean and am happy to integrate Korean into our therapy sessions if Korean is your preferred language. Being vulnerable is hard work, even without a language barrier.

    Please do note however I am not a native Korean and do not speak at an advanced level.

    저는 기본적인 일상 한국어로 대화할 수 있으며, 원하시면 상담에서 한국어를 사용하겠습니다. 다만, 저는 한국어가 모국어가 아니고, 기본적인 대화 수준으로 말할 수 있다는 점을 참고해 주세요.

  • As part of my professional development and licensure requirements, I receive regular supervision from Smruti Desai, LMHC, LPC. I am also a member of the Shelterwood Collective, a Seattle-based organization of mental health professionals who share resources, values, and community.

    It is important to me that I stay connected to peers and advisors to ensure I provide the best care for my clients.
