Maricor Coquia

I was born and raised in Oah’u, Hawai’i. Growing up on the islands, I had the privilege of experiencing the beauty and challenges inherent in the blending of several cultures, traditions, and values. Raised within a strongly collectivist culture, I now strive for healthy interdependence for myself and my clients. 

I moved to Washington in early 2021, during the pandemic. I didn’t want to leave Hawai’i, at least not initially. I, like many others, was fearing change and the uncertainty of the future. But after some self-reflection and encouragement from trusted family and friends, I took a leap of faith and left ‘paradise’ for the PNW. 

I will always miss Hawai’i, but have come to love and appreciate the beauty, community, and culture of the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy trying out new coffee shops and restaurants, doing laundry (yes, it’s true!), and indulging in meandering long walks around my neighborhood. I also enjoy cooking cozy meals for loved ones, especially Filipino, Korean, and local island favorites.

I received my Bachelor’s in Biology, with minors in Psychology and Art History, from Regis University in Denver, CO. 

After college, I returned to Oah’u where I worked with children and adults with behavioral health challenges, mainly related to autism and learning disabilities, for almost 8 years. In 2017, I decided to pursue a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Chaminade University of Honolulu and graduated in 2020.

I served the South King County community as an integrated mental health therapist at a community health center for nearly three years, during which I also came to love the gorgeous views of Ranier, the endless choices for hikes, fresh flower bouquets, and the breathtaking late-night summer sunsets.

I am not paneled with any insurance company. My clients attend therapy on an out-of-network basis or pay for sessions out of pocket. If you would like to use your out-of-network benefits, please contact your insurance company prior to our first meeting. Ask what the out-of-network reimbursement would be for outpatient in-person or online psychotherapy. The specific amount of this reimbursement depends on your plan. I will provide you with the statements your insurance requires.

​You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
