Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good FaithEstimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

After we complete the intake, I will meet with your child for a 50 minute session in person at my office.
For therapeutic reasons, I won’t be able to check in with parent or guardian in front of the child as I’ve found this disrupts the process and rapport.
Every three to five sessions I offer a parent session. This is a chance for us to meet and to hear from you about any changes or lack thereof you are noticing since starting the process, I can give an update on themes and processes I’m noticing in the playroom and we can decide if we are still moving in the right direction for treatment.

A script that I’ve found helpful for parents is “You’re going to meet with Kathryn, she has lots of toys for you to play with and you’ll get to play for about an hour”.
When you arrive at the office for the first time with your child I’ll introduce myself and let them know it’s time to go to the playroom. Some kids might feel anxious, or might be uncertain because it’s new. I will validate them and wait patienty until they are ready. And it’s natural for it to take a little time!
-
I provide both in-person sessions at my office in Scottsdale and online/telehealth therapy options for those across Arizona.
This would only be offered for individual therapy or parent coaching, I do not provide play therapy services virtually.

Sandtray therapy, like art therapy, is a creative and flexible way to explore thoughts and feelings. It can be adapted to fit each person’s unique needs and can work well with many different therapy styles.
The experiential component of sandtray therapy is one of its most powerful and transformative aspects. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies heavily on verbal communication, sandtray therapy engages clients on a sensory, emotional, and physical level—making it a deeply felt, hands-on experience.
I offer this therapy to children and adults if appropriate.
