  • I require a credit or debit card on file in order to schedule sessions. Your card on file will be charged automatically for your portion of your session fee. The session fee is due at time of service.

  • You can pay for your therapy with Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). However, you technically are not supposed to use these cards for missed appointments.

  • We take the following insurances:

    • Aetna

  • You may be able to get reimbursed for out of network services. It depends on your provider and plan.

    This process takes time and effort and sometimes you have to follow up if the insurance company denies the claim for some reason. You also have the option of using a third party service to do this work for you. Reimbursify is a service that charges a few dollars to do this labor for you.

    State insurance, otherwise known as Medicaid (“Apple Health” in Washington), never reimburses for out of network behavioral health services. 

  • If you have out-of-network benefits, you may seek reimbursement if you wish. I do this by providing you with a “superbill”.

    This is a monthly receipt that shows what services you received and the amount you’ve already spent. Clients submit claims for reimbursement with their insurance company.

    The process for claim submission is different for each plan. Please contact your insurance to find out how you can submit superbills (as opposed to single session claims). You do this by calling the number on the back of your insurance card. 

  • We do not have sliding scale spots at this time.

  • New federal laws help protect consumers from surprise medical bills. ​The No Surprises Act is part of the consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, is designed to protect clients from receiving unexpected medical bills. 

    Multiply your weekly therapy cost by 45 (the amount of weeks I work in the year) and you will arrive at your annual estimated therapy cost.

    The "Good Faith Estimate” is meant to give an idea of what you'll be charged, prior to beginning services.

Our Therapists

Alexandria Scalone, LMFT, RPT

Alexandria (she/her) is the owner of Seattle Family Therapy. She’s a licensed marriage & family therapist (LMFT) + a registered play therapist (RPT) with specialization in family therapy.

Alexandria brings years of experience in working with children across their development.

Issues we treat.

We specialize in the parent-child relationship

  • From infancy to young adulthood, kids and teens have a variety of developmental milestones that need to be met to help create a well-balanced adult.

    From temper tentrums to bed-wetting, lying or stealing and mood swings, it can be taxing to try to figure out how to best meet your child’s needs.

    Family therapists translate between kids and their adults. We have been trained to understand behavior and we can’t wait to share it with you.

  • The most difficult job in the universe.

    Parenting stretches us to our limits. We mess up, and we also revel in the joy and delight of our kiddos.

    But, parenting doesn’t always seem like it’s going right. We get discouraged. We need support. Family therapy helps everyone. Kids need to play to process and adults need concrete skills they can start applying today.

  • It happens to us all at some point.

    Conflicts between parent and children/adolescents can wreak havoc on our home life, it can break our hearts, it can leave wounds that take time to heal.

    There is a solution. No matter what the conflict, therapy can help you through it.

  • There are really unique challenges to merging two families. The process, called blending, is ongoing and sometimes painful or confusing.

    There’s great research about the needs of blending families and we are really looking forward to giving you tools from day 1 to ease the transition for everyone.

What is Family Therapy?

Systems theory is a holistic way of understanding an individual in context.

Family therapy views individual family members (and their problems) as interconnected. We believe that someone’s behaviors / emotions are shaped by relationships.

Each member's familial role impacts a family’s dynamics. We highlight the influence culture and family atmosphere has on individual experiences. Change in one member can affect the whole system. Solutions often stem from improved relationships rather than focusing on the person.

This is a safe space

We are allies of LGBTQ+ kids, teens, & their families

SFT is dedicated to reflective practices so we may aspire to be an anti-oppressive therapy group

All people of color are welcome here
