  • We bill your insurance company.
  • We accept VISA, Master Card, and Discover Card.
  • We offer reduced fees for those that are uninsured or underinsured.
  • Churches and others may contribute to defray the cost of treatment, however we recommend that the client be responsible for some portion of the fee to aid in the personal investment in the therapy process.
  • We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.
A one-hour (53 minutes) session is $120 for the first one, then $100 for each subsequent session. We accept many insurance plans and offer reduced fees based on clients' 1040 tax form from the previous year.
We know counseling is expensive, and value the time and money that people invest in it. We work to help solve issues in as short a time period as possible, but this differs with the severity of the issues as well as with the people involved. We are not subsidized by any churches or other organizations; client fees are our only source of income to pay our therapists as well as our taxes and operating expenses.
