What should a new client know about working with you?

I am understanding, thoughtful, intuitive, sensitive, and emphatic, and I prioritize assisting each client in reaching their goals in counseling. My role is to help you sort thru these issues, gain clarity, gain understanding, increase your resolve, and develop tools that will enable you to dismantle and break free from negative patterns, painful beliefs, low self-esteem, depression, fear, past trauma–whatever it is.

In-network insurances

Paul Ellingsen, LMFT has 200+ in-network plans.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
