Frequently Asked Questions

The consultation is a brief conversation about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and whether Doria may be a good fit. You’re also welcome to ask questions about therapy, scheduling, insurance, or anything else you’d like to know before deciding.

No. Therapy does not require you to share everything all at once. Doria will work with you at a pace that feels manageable, and you can decide what you’re ready to talk about and when.

EMDR is one option, not something Doria automatically uses with everyone. She’ll first learn more about what you’re experiencing and your goals, then talk with you about whether EMDR or another approach seems like the best fit.

No. Doria works with adults of different backgrounds and experiences. Many of her clients are women, but her practice is not limited to women.

Sessions take place by secure video, so you can meet with Doria from a private location anywhere in Washington State. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into your week without travel or time spent getting to an office.

That depends on what brings you in and what you want to work on. Some concerns may respond to more focused, short-term work, while long-standing patterns or trauma may take more time. Doria will work with you to determine what makes sense for your goals.

In addition to talk therapy, I use: EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) ACT Therapy (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) Ego-States Therapy (Parts Work)

Assuming we're a good match for therapy, I can generally get people on my schedule within a week.

I provide telehealth therapy for adults navigating the symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, and/or major life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can process difficult experiences and build the practical skills needed to move forward.

Stellar Counseling Services PLLC is in network with Premera and Regence. Private pay sessions are $180. If you’d like to confirm your coverage, you can reach out before scheduling.

In-person and telehealth therapies both demonstrate the same effectiveness in studies, and have different advantages depending on the needs of the client.

Once we talk and you're on my schedule, you will receive an email with a link to some forms you'll need to fill out prior to your first session. You will also be emailed a link that you can use to join your therapy session at the time of your scheduled appointment.
