Playful Minds Counseling
The "Nitty Gritty"
Insurance companies have networks within their networks. Even if we have a contract as an in-network provider with your insurance company, it doesn't always mean that we are covered or in-network with your plan. We highly recommend confirming that your network covers Playful Minds Counseling. Yes, we agree that it's frustrating. We do our best to verify benefits once we have your insurance information; however, the information we access isn't always clear or accurate.
We highly recommend contacting your insurance company to understand your mental health benefits.

So, she's helping with probably the LEAST fun part of working in healthcare! If you get an email from Jody, please be kind and remember that we don't make the insurance rules, but to be accessible, we must follow them!
ABOUT JODY (she's kind of a big deal)
Twenty-one years ago, I landed in Seattle and fell in love with its rowdy, postmodern dance culture. I fell in love with my own queerness. In doing so, I created Cherdonna Shinatra as a persona and character to question and explore the world from a uniquely queer perspective. Over the last 15 years, I have created and performed a wide array of evening-length works and performance installations described as “uncategorizable spectacles” (The Stranger) for theaters, museums, clubs, parking lots, and abandoned buildings.
Playful Minds has an exciting vision and mission, and I'm happy to be part of the team because it means that I get to contribute to supporting a group of therapists who do the important work that they do.
