Where can you work with clients?
I can provide psychotherapy to individuals who currently reside in the state of Washington.
How do we get started?
First, schedule a free 20 minute intro call here. Select my name “Alicia Spangenberger” and then choose a time that works best for you and your partner.
After the call, if you, your partner and I feel we are a good fit for services, we will schedule you for a couples intake (80 minutes).
Once your intake appointment is booked, you will both receive intake paperwork to be filled out and submitted.
We will walk through your intake questionnaire upon our first session together.
Following our intake appointment, I will schedule one individual intake session with both of you that will be 50 minutes each.
Are you offering in-person sessions?
I provide a hybrid model of therapy, meaning I am able to provide virtual and/or in-person sessions. In person sessions are held at my office in downtown Bellingham, WA.
What if we change our minds and don’t want to continue?
You are under no contract to continue services with me and can let me know you’d like to discontinue at any time. Please be aware that if you have a scheduled session you are subject to my cancellation policy.
What is your current availability?
I currently have openings for new couples clients.
I see clients Monday through Thursday from 8:30am - 4:30pm
What is your cancellation policy?
Please remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance. You will be responsible for a $150 fee (for 80 minute sessions) if cancellation is less than 24 hours. Why? My time commitment is made and held exclusively for you. If you are more than 15 minutes late for a session, you will lose that session time and will be required to pay the above fee.
