  • Student interns at Forage Wellness have passed a competitive interview process and are dedicated to excellence as Restoration Therapists. They work closely with their clinical supervisor to ensure quality of care, and they work with many insurance plans as well!

    Here are a few testimonials from current clients working with our student interns:

    “Emily has been so helpful in uncovering my inner pain cycle and experiences in my past that have ingrained certain coping mechanisms that have been dysfunctional to my adult life. I have not been a client for very long, but I feel that I am getting a very positive benefit from Emily’s help so far.”

    “Kathy has helped me to recognize patterns in my life and acknowledge past hurts, allowing me to understand the why and how of my usual responses. She is uniquely qualified to help me through reverse culture shock and working through the difficult life transition of an international move.”

    “I have been extremely happy with the care and exceptional skills Katherine has shown in our sessions. Katherine is a professional and thorough practitioner. Katherine uses visuals that I find helpful and has many resources and tools that enhance the learning experience for me and deepens my experience in therapy. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone!”

    “I came into therapy with lots of social anxiety. Kathy has been incredibly helpful with going over coping mechanism and navigating life without anxiety.”

    Working with one of our student interns is an excellent step on your journey of improving your mental health and relationships!

  • Yes! All of our therapists work with Cigna, CareOregon, PacificSource Community Solutions, and other Oregon Health Plan insurances. Our practice holds a Certificate of Approval with the Oregon Health Authority that enables us to work with OHP plans.

    Our Associates (post-graduate) works with all of the insurance plans listed above, as well as Aetna, PacificSource Commercial and Providence, which all allow for supervisory billing for registered MFT Associates and LPC Associates.

    We may we able to work with additional plans on a case-by-case basis.

    Please note: While our team will work to do a preliminary check of your benefits before your first appointment, it is always your responsibility to know your benefits and pay any copays/coinsurance fees at the time of each appointment.

  • You can call the phone number on the back of your insurance card. Be sure to ask if you have a deductible that affects your benefits, and if telehealth sessions are different than in-person appointments (when applicable). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have more questions about using insurance at Forage Wellness. It can be a difficult system to navigate and we are here to support you throughout the process.

  • We accept all major credit cards, many HSA cards (as applicable), cash or check.

  • A Superbill is a document which can be submitted to insurance providers for reimbursement after the session fee is paid at the time of the session. Superbills include:

    Provider’s License type

    Contact details of the provider

    Diagnosis code(s)

    Service procedure code(s)

    Provider’s Tax ID

  • If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 48 hours in advance. If a cancellation happens within 48 hours of your appointment you will be charged the full rate of the session. Unfortunately, insurance carriers do not cover fees for late cancellations. For clients utilizing OHP plan benefits, we will never charge you for a late cancellation, but a pattern of no-shows may result in a pause of treatment in order to serve other clients.

  • We focus on treating the following mental health diagnoses:

    ADHD

    Adjustment disorders

    Anger

    Anxiety and chronic stress

    Depression

    Grief and loss issues

    Marital and family issues

    Mood disorders

    Parenting issues

    Trauma

  • We ask that you complete your intake packet online at least 48 hours prior to your first appointment. Your first session with your therapist will be an opportunity to learn about confidentiality and consent to treatment, to share more about your current concerns, ask questions, and begin the process of therapy. Our therapists will use the first 3-6 sessions to assess how best to help you and will work with you on what areas to focus first in therapy. Occasionally we work with clients who would be better served by a different resource, and in those cases therapists will work with clients to connect them with appropriate community partners.

  • In addition to treating a vast array of mental health problems, our team members have specific expertise in one or more of the following areas:

    Art therapy

    Autoimmune disorders

    Blended families

    Child and adolescent therapy

    Couples counseling

    Divorce
