Understanding the Financial Aspect of Counseling

Navigating the financial landscape of therapy is a critical element of your journey towards mental wellness. The intricacies of cost can often be as varied as the methods of therapy themselves, ranging from fixed rates to sliding scale fees and the potential utilization of insurance benefits. It's imperative to approach this aspect with a clear vision of your financial limits and the value you place on accessing insurance coverage. Engaging in this financial discourse early on allows you to filter your search effectively, directing you towards a therapeutic partnership that not only enriches your mental health but aligns with your budgetary constraints.

Consider reaching out to prospective therapists about their billing practices and if they offer any accommodations, such as payment plans or reduced rates for those with financial hardships. This proactive step ensures that the therapeutic process is not hindered by financial stressors, enabling a focused exploration of your mental and emotional landscapes free from the shadow of fiscal worry. By demystifying the cost from the outset, you lay a solid foundation for a therapeutic alliance that supports your journey without compromising your financial well-being.

At our practice, we offer flat rate per session prices. If your insurance offers out of network reimbursement, we are happy to provide you with a superbill to submit for reimbursement. We are also happy to accept FSA or HSA cards. If your employer offer HSA/FSA options, open enrollment is great time to plan ahead to budget for therapy the following year. We also offer a limited number if sliding scale options. Please do not hesitate to ask.

If you would like to use In-network insurance, often the easiest way to find a therapist is to go through your provider search portal that your insurance offers. Once you see a therapist in your area, google or call them to learn more about whether they fit your needs.
