Getting Started

It takes courage to seek out therapy! I am accepting new out-of-pocket paying clients (as of 9/1/2024). The first step to get started is to email kimstetsoncounseling@gmail.com or submit a Contact form to schedule a 20-minute free video consultation. During the consultation session we’ll get to know each other and you’ll have the opportunity to talk through your goals for therapy and let me know how I can best support you on your healing journey.

I will evaluate your needs based on your history and current concerns. Next, we will develop and discuss a treatment plan to match your needs. We will review progress and outcomes along the way. My goal is to help you gain a clear understanding of your values, interests, skills, strengths, and requirements for moving forward to live the fullest life you can imagine.

Treatment Approaches

My approach to counseling is client-centered, collaborative, relational and feminist. The therapeutic approaches I incorporate are EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Therapy focuses on trauma processing, “parts work” and accessing the Self, acceptance and self-compassion, emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and developing healthy coping skills.

Fees & Insurance

Individual therapy fee: 55-minute individual therapy sessions (virtual and/or in-person) are billed at a rate of $150, with payment due at the time of session by credit card.

I am no longer accepting clients who are looking to use their health insurance benefits at this time. I am accepting new out-of-pocket paying clients. I can provide you with a superbill to seek partial reimbursement using out-of-network benefits. Please call your insurance company directly to determine your eligibility for out-of-network benefits.

Virtual and in-person sessions are available in my SE Portland office during daytime hours during the week. I do not offer evening or weekend sessions. Please notify me within 24 hours by calling my confidential voicemail number (971) 303-8650 if you need to cancel your appointment. All appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged a “No Show/Late Cancel” fee of $135 regardless of insurance benefits. Three “No Show/Late Cancellations” within a 60-day time period will result in termination of therapy.
