Fees & Insurance

What therapy costs, explained plainly.

Two ways to begin: use your insurance, or pay privately. We verify your benefits before your first session so you know what to expect.

Two ways to pay

Pick the path that fits.

Using insurance

We accept many plans

We're in network with major commercial insurers and Illinois Medicaid. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan's copay, coinsurance, and deductible. We check all of this for you first.

Paying privately

Simple, flat rates

A good fit if you'd rather not use insurance, are out of network, or want the widest choice of therapist.

$145
Individual session
$165
Couples session

Standard 50-minute sessions. Longer or specialized sessions may differ. Self-pay clients receive a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprises Act.

Insurance coverage

Plans we accept.

Coverage can vary by therapist, location, license type, and plan. We review your benefits before your first appointment whenever possible.

Aetna Aetna Better Health BCBS IL PPO BCBS TX PPO Blue Cross Community Cigna Evernorth Meridian Optum UnitedHealthcare UMR

Not in network: We do not accept Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois HMO plans.

About deductibles: If your deductible hasn't been met, you may pay the contracted session rate until your plan starts covering care. Verification is an estimate, not a guarantee. Your insurer makes the final call on benefits and patient responsibility.

How verification works

Three steps before your first session.

Step one

Complete intake

Submit your paperwork, insurance information, and an active payment method before your appointment.

Step two

We review benefits

We check eligibility, deductible status, copay estimates, and whether your therapist is in network.

Step three

You get an estimate

When available, we share your estimated responsibility so there are no surprises when care begins.

Scheduling

Our cancellation policy.

A few expectations that keep scheduling fair for clients and clinicians alike.

24-hour notice

Please cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead.

Late fee

Late cancellations or missed sessions may incur a $99 fee.

Medicaid clients

Clients with Medicaid are never charged missed-appointment fees.

Card on file

An active credit or debit card is required before appointments begin.

Repeated no-shows or late cancellations may result in discharge from services, or a referral to a provider whose scheduling structure is a better fit.

Common questions

Fees and insurance, answered.

Does verification guarantee coverage?

No. Verification gives you an estimate based on the information available. Your insurer makes the final decision about coverage and what you owe.

Can I pay privately even if I have insurance?

Yes. You're welcome to choose private pay at our flat rates even if you carry insurance.

What happens if I have a deductible?

If your deductible hasn't been met, your insurer may apply the contracted session rate toward it before benefits begin. We'll flag this during verification.

Are you in network with BCBS Illinois HMO?

No. We are not in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois HMO plans. We do accept BCBS Illinois PPO.
