Investing in Therapy
Finding the right therapist is an important decision. I believe the financial aspects of therapy should be transparent so you can make an informed choice about your care.
Below you'll find current fees, insurance information, and answers to common questions.
Session Fees
Individual Session 55 minutes $ 175.00
Individual Session 45 minutes $ 150.00
Individual Intake (1-2 sessions) $ 220.00
A limited number of reduced-fee spots are available for clients who need financial flexibility. If cost is a barrier, please mention it when you reach out. I will let you know what is currently available.
Is Private Pay Right For You?
Some clients choose to pay for therapy directly rather than use their insurance benefits.
Private pay may be a good fit when you prefer:
✓ More privacy, with less clinical information shared with an insurance company
✓ The freedom to pursue therapy without requiring an insurance diagnosis
✓ Greater flexibility in the focus, pace, and frequency of sessions
✓ The ability to continue therapy based on what feels meaningful to you—not solely what meets an insurer’s definition of medical necessity
For some people, this additional privacy and flexibility feels worth the investment.
Private Pay
Payment is due at the time of service. I accept all major credit cards, HSA, and FSA cards.

If you carry insurance not listed here, I am happy to provide you with a superbill at the end of each month. A superbill is a receipt you submit directly to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary by plan.
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate before beginning services. This document outlines the expected cost of your care.
Because therapy is individualized, the total cost of care varies from person to person. Some clients attend for a few months, while others choose to continue longer-term. Before beginning services, you'll receive information about fees and can request a Good Faith Estimate at any time.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing before your first session, or any time you request one. If your final bill is at least $400 more than the estimate you received, you have the right to dispute the charge.
For questions about your rights or to request an estimate, contact me directly at info@thebelongingpractice.com or (630) 895-8392.
