About Me
Morgan Desai, LMFTA (she/her)
Hi! I'm Morgan, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate working with individuals, couples, and families across Washington state. I hold an MA in Couples and Family Therapy from Antioch University Seattle as well as dual BAs in Anthropology and Spanish from the University of Rochester. Basically, I am committed to being a life-long learner when it comes to relationships and the human experience across cultures.
​
I approach therapy through a systemic lens, grounded in the belief that understanding your present and moving toward the future often begins with curiosity about your past and the systems that shape your life. Taking an integrative approach, I curate an individualized therapy experience focused on supporting each client with their unique challenges and goals. Above all, I aim to create a safe, confidential, and empowering space where clients can feel supported in their vulnerability, explore their challenges, and grow toward their most authentic and fulfilling self.​​

Payment & SuperbillsI do not take insurance at this time. This allows for greater privacy for you and the ability to customize your care exactly to your needs without the intervention and restrictions of an insurance company. Payment is due and collected at the time of your session through the online payment feature within my electronic health records system (Sessions Health). If requested, I am able to provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance company. It is important to note that superbills require a diagnosis and billing codes that will be included in your medical records. Approval for reimbursement is not guaranteed so I strongly encourage you to contact your insurance company to confirm and discuss your out-of-network benefits, as it is your responsibility to be aware of your coverage. I do not provide superbills for couples or family therapy services at this time. Please see "Questions for Insurance" page under "My Services" on the main menu for a list of some questions to ask your insurance company to confirm coverage.
-
Cancellation PolicyI have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance, you will be charged half the amount of your scheduled session. If you do not notify me and do not attend your session, you will be charged a no-show fee which will be the entire amount of your scheduled session. Clients that arrive 15 minutes or more after their scheduled session time will be asked to reschedule and will be charged half of their schedule session amount. Fees can be waived in the event of emergency or illness.

No Surprises ActThe No Surprises Act (effective January 2022) is a federal law designed to protect patients from unexpected medical bills. These protections include upfront cost estimates for uninsured or self-pay patients, known as a Good Faith Estimate. In accordance with this act, a Good Faith Estimate will be included in my intake paperwork for you to review prior to your first session.
