What does therapy cost?
Each of the therapists in our practice has personalized fees based on their training and expertise. In general, you can expect to pay between $150-225 for a 50-minute therapy session. However, all of our therapists also offer what we call a "sliding scale". This is a way for people who are paying out-of-pocket (i.e. without the help of insurance) to make therapy more affordable. Sliding scale rates can be flexible and are discussed on a case-by-case basis between you and your therapist.
In addition to paying out-of-pocket, most of the therapists in our practice currently take Aetna insurance. We can also provide a "super bill" for you to seek reimbursement by your insurance company based on your plan. You may also be able to use an HSA or FSA account to pay for therapy! When you call to set up a free consultation, let us know what financial options you would like to explore.
My therapist just sent me a "Good Faith Estimate". Is this a bill?
No! A Good Faith Estimate is not a bill. It is simply an estimate of what therapy may cost over a particular period of time. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
