Do you accept insurance?

Yes! We accept most insurance including: OHP, PacificSource Commercial, Providence, First Choice, Cigna, and Regence BCBS. If you have Moda or Aetna, please tell your insurance representative that you’d like Juniper Therapies to join the network. We are actively working on joining those insurance networks.

What is the process of getting started like?

We start with an assessment to determine how you, your child, or your loved one’s skills compare to same-aged peers. We will discuss results with you during the evaluation appointment when possible. Sometimes it may take 7 days to receive results. You will have the opportunity to review the formal write up of the assessment and decide if therapy is right for you. If you choose to proceed, you will schedule therapy with a therapist that is the best fit for your needs. We reassess regularly to make sure progress is on track.

How often is therapy and how long will it last?

Frequency and duration depend on the diagnosis, temperament of the patient, and home practice. Often therapy is scheduled weekly, but we are flexible and create a plan that is individualized to suit your needs. We also have telehealth experts who have honed their ability to create engaging sessions, even for little ones.
