This is such an important question! Rates vary depending on a clinicians level of education, experience, and training. We have options that range from as low as $30 per 60 minutes, (student intern rate), and as high as $175 per 60 minutes (a fully licensed clinician with advanced training).

We are considered "Out-Of-Network" providers, which means we do not accept any insurance directly. We have made the decision to work directly with our clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.

If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has "Out-Of-Network" benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then we will provide you with a "superbill" that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

We would recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.

Otherwise you can choose to see one of us privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of our clients choose this option below.

Most of our clients actually prefer to work with their clinician privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don't meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.

Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process. An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going. At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage

If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then I recommend reaching out to us on our contact page and we'd be happy to answer any questions.

Every first session is different because we are humans working with humans, and no two people are alike! We see therapy as a collaborative process, so a lot of what happens in a first session is up to you and your provider to decide together. You can expect that in your first session, your clinician will inform you of how they work with their clients, and begin to build the relationship needed for important therapy work. This will involve you sharing some of your story and your clinician relating to you and helping you clarify your therapy goals.

We do offer online counseling and utilize a telehealth platform through our client portal, Simple Practice.
