Psychotherapy

In 2021, I am available for online psychotherapy sessions (with residents of Washington state who are 18 years of age and older), providing support in the following areas:

• Strengthening stress management and coping skills
• Managing chronic or women’s health conditions
• Navigating life changes and transitions
• Cultivating a healthy relationship with food

Please note that I prioritize woman-identified clients at this time. Telehealth sessions are available via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. If you’d like to make an appointment, please leave me a message on my confidential voicemail at (425) 276-1908 or request a phone call by emailing me at info@drmcwatters.com.

All telehealth services are grounded in a health-at-every-size, body positive, culturally sensitive framework. I am passionate about helping you experience your fullest, most authentic and joyful life, while increasing awareness of outdated beliefs and strategies that might not serve you. Although I am well-trained in a variety of intervention models, I would best describe my current psychotherapy practice as supportive, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based.

If you are seeking services that are more intensive or clearly outside of my scope of practice as listed above (for example, I do not see children, adolescents, couples, or families, or offer psychological evaluations), please check your current insurance provider directory for other options, visit Crisis Connections, or visit the American Psychologist Locator.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, or need to speak with someone right away,
dial 911, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (TALK), or go to your nearest emergency room.

Below you’ll find additional details regarding fees and insurance. Psychotherapy is a significant investment of time, money, and energy, so it’s important to have all of the information you need to make the best decision when choosing a new treatment provider.

• I am no longer active on any insurance panels. All psychotherapy services provided are “out of network.”
• Payment is due at time of service. My current fee schedule can be found in the new client packet that will be emailed to you and is available upon request. If you’d like, I am happy to submit a bill to your insurance plan within 1-2 business days after our sessions so that any applicable reimbursement can be sent to you. Please plan to contact your insurance representative PRIOR to our first session to confirm the level of reimbursement you might expect. For your convenience, I accept credit card payment via Square, PayPal, and Zelle.
