More About Fees

To sustain our lives and keep doing our work, we have to charge for therapy and consultation services, and we do not want it to be a hardship for you to pay for these services. Please consider this information prior to your consultion so you will be prepared to discuss fees.

Insurance

Some of our providers take insurance and others do not. Please look at their individual profiles for more information about that. If the provider you have chosen does not take insurance, you may still be able to be reimbursed by your insurance if you have a PPO plan. You can use Thrizer or submit for reimbursement yourself. Please let your provider know if that option might work for you so we can be sure to provide the right information on your receipt.

Out-of-Pocket Payments

There are two ways we can be flexible to help meet both of our needs: sliding scale and scheduling.

Sliding Scale

Our licensed clinician’s full fees are $200 for each session. For associates, the full fee is $150 for each session. How low each clinician’s sliding scale goes varies depending on how many low fee slots are available. Within the current range, you and your clinician will negotiate a fee that will work for both of you.

For each client that pays at the top of the scale, we are able to sustainably offer services for a client paying at the bottom of the scale. We welcome your generosity, however, we do not want paying for therapy to be a hardship for you. It will be a hardship to pay if you will have to give up a basic need such as housing or food to pay for therapy. However, healing and recovery are worth sacrificing for. If you will be giving up something a little extra (such as going to the movies or a meal out), that is a sacrifice, not a hardship. For example, buying a latte from a coffee store five days a week will cost at least $20 a week. Making that sacrifice can help you pay $20 more for therapy if you attend weekly.

We are happy to renegotiate if your circumstances change and you want to renegotiate your rate (in either direction).

Scheduling

Another option to reduce your overall cost is to attend less frequently. Some people find that having therapy every other week (or biweekly) gives them time to practice and integrate each session more fully as well as reduce overall cost. Not all of our clinicians offer this option; please discuss this with your provider at your consultation session,
