### Discounted Therapy offered by Master’s Level Students
**We are excited to offer our clients reduced rate therapy sessions facilitated by our clinical interns. You can use this page to familiarize yourself with our intern therapists, and to schedule a free consultation.**
Only $60-$75 per session. Pay What You Can.
Individual, couples, and family therapist sessions are affordable. We offer sessions at a sliding scale- pay what you can based on your current financial situation. We do not require financial screening or proof of income. Many of our clients have insurance, but have a high deductible, or can’t get coverage for couples therapy. The typical cost for therapy is $130-$200 per session, which can be prohibitively expensive. So let our therapist interns support you for a low cost.
Session Details
Our clinical interns see individuals, couples and families All  sessions are 50 minutes long, unless otherwise requested- for example, many couples prefer 90 minute sessions. Interns are master’s level therapy graduate programs and receive (on average) 4 hours of supervision and case consultation per week, including sex therapy specific supervision when applicable. Our practice can work with clients ages 10 and up, depending on the specific therapist.
#### Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is one of the many services that is not covered by insurance companies, however, relationship issues can have a hugely negative impact on mental health. On average, people wait 6 years in between noticing a problem, and seeing a couples therapist- and by then, it’s a challenge to fix deeply embedded problems. Take advantage of our affordable couples therapy with immediate openings.
#### Individual Therapy
Therapy creates a space for you to experience healing and progress in a way that can dramatically change your life. Making time for your own personal therapy is not only self-care, it’s essential for many people. Therapy is becoming more and more common, and accessible. Whether you want short or long-term work, our providers are excited to help you live the best version of your life.
#### Adolescent Therapy
It can be extremely difficult to find a therapist for clients under 18. Our interns see kids as young as 10 years old, and have experience working with children in a variety of capacities- we currently have a registered nurse, a former music teacher, and more. Our therapists have the added benefit of being young in their careers, which is important for kids and teens who need to connect with their provider in a different way than adult clients do.
#### Family Therapy
Family Counseling is appropriate not only for families in crisis, but also for families who want to increase their ability to communicate effectively, and enhance their relationships. For families who are in different locations, our telehealth counseling can make this treatment more accessible than ever before.
#### Why See an Intern?
Many people need or want therapy, but can’t afford the high rates that most therapist charge. Others just need to schedule sessions outside of work or school hours. Our internship program makes mental healthcare more accessible to all members of the community.  It also provides mentorship and supervision for the next generation of therapists. Student therapists need 100s of clinical internship hours to complete their degree. By partnering together, we are able to provide therapy services that benefit both the students and our community.
## Benefits of Seeing a Low Cost Intern
Don’t let their title fool you- interns have the benefit of receiving the latest and greatest education and training in the field of therapy, and typically receive 4-5 hours of supervision per week. They are not burned out, overworked clinicians, working in isolation- they are supported in their work and are very motivated to help their clients. Scheduling a consultation with one of our interns allows you to have a 10-15 minute conversation with them to make sure they are a good match for your needs.
Interns are supervised individually by Brittany Steffen, MS, LMFT, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and WA State Approved Supervisor. She meets with each intern on a weekly basis to consult, supervise, and support each intern’s clinical work. Interns also meet weekly for group supervision with their professors, who are licensed therapists.
Interns cannot bill insurance for therapy sessions, and should be considered private pay. In rare cases you may be able to get reimbursed for out of network therapy through your insurance, depending on your plan. Intern sessions cost between $60-$75 per session, and are 50 minutes long. If you’d like a 90 minute session, our rate is $100, and you must contact your therapist via email to schedule your sessions. Sessions can be scheduled weekly, every other week, or monthly, with reoccurring spots available Sunday through Friday. Our interns see clients as early as 7:00 am and as late as 9:00 pm, and have immediate openings.

## About Us
We view therapy as a collaborative way for anyone who feels stuck to create changes in their life. Therapy will help you examine your beliefs, assumptions, values, goals, thought patterns, and relationships. Talking problems through with a nonjudgmental, neutral third party can inspire a new perspective. Our therapeutic styles vary from conversational to clinical, and my clients report that they appreciate SCS’s active approach to therapy. We enjoy working with clients on goal-oriented changes, and utilize out of session homework to maximize the impact of therapy.

# Supervision
## Licensed Clinical Associates
##### In-Person and Remote Individual and Group Supervision:
Individual supervision is $200 per hour. Group supervision is $200 per hour, divided by the number of attendees (3-6 attendees per meeting) in an effort to be an affordable experience.
​Individual supervision available Monday-Thursday between 9:30 and 4:00 pm
​I currently offer monthly group supervision meetings on Fridays from 1:00-3:00 pm.
​
If you are an associate counselor or therapist in need of post-graduate supervision, a Washington State approved supervisor can meet these requirements. If you are an LMFTA from an accredited school, you do not need an AAMFT approved supervisor- a state approved supervisor will meet your requirements.
I am currently taking on a limited number of supervisees for individual and group supervision. I have worked as an individual, couples, and family therapist since 2012, and have experience in a variety of settings including in agency, private and group practice settings, and rather uniquely, experience providing onsite therapy for a large local tech company. I also am an adjunct professor at Seattle Pacific University. I am a great resource for associates working with teens and adults, and have special expertise in working with clients in the tech industry, LGBTQ issues, couples, and sex therapy techniques.

# Business Consulting
If you are interested in expanding your private practice, leaving your current group practice, hiring employees or interns, or just want to consult on how to improve your business practices or increase your financial success, working with a business consultant can be invaluable. Business consulting is an investment in your career, as necessary as an accountant, web designer, lawyer, and supervisor. My graduate program didn’t offer a single class on how to run a business, so I’ve learned both on my own and with the support of professionals I’ve hired in my 10 year career. I frequently provide one-off consulting sessions, so this doesn’t require a large investment, financially or otherwise. Here are some things you can expect when working with a therapist business consultant:
1. **Assessment:** prior to our meeting, I’ll ask you to put together an initial assessment of your practice or business to identify your goals. This may include reviewing your business plan, marketing strategies, and financial records or simply taking some notes about the current problems you’re facing as a business owner.
2. **Goals and Strategies:** we’ll create clear and measurable goals for your practice and then develop specific strategies to help you achieve those goals. This may include creating a marketing plan, developing a pricing strategy, identifying new revenue streams, website recommendations, and more.
3. **Implementation and Support:** together or on your own outside of consultation, you’ll implement the strategies discussed and take the necessary steps to achieve your goals. I can provide ongoing support and guidance, as needed meetings, or even just a one-off consultation session.
4. **Branding, Marketing, and Networking:** consulting can include reviewing marketing strategies that will attract new clients, recommendations for building a network of other professionals and resources that can support your practice or business, and more targeted ideas based on your specialty areas.
5. **Professionalism and Ethical Standards:** part of consulting is helping my clients understand and navigate the ethical and legal requirements of running a private practice or business. For legal advice and accounting questions, I can provide referrals to certified professionals.
6. **Self-care and Balance:** some of my consulting clients want to talk about how to fit in self-care and find some sort of work-life balance as a small business owner–a topic I’m very familiar with.
**Cost:** $200 per hour, individual or group. You’re welcome to partner with multiple clinicians for consulting sessions to reduce costs.
**Scheduling:** Email directly to schedule, and include your website link and any business background you’d like me to consider in advance of our first meeting.
