What does therapy cost?
The cost for an initial assessment is $170 per session and usually requires one to three sessions. Each subsequent session is $110. Each session lasts 50 minutes. Longer appointments can be arranged for an additional fee. If you have health insurance, your plan may pay for psychotherapy services.
How do I use my insurance?
A phone call to the number listed on your insurance card will allow you to check on your mental health benefits. There may be restrictions on which therapist you can see and how many sessions insurance will pay for in a year. Here are some important questions to ask your insurance customer service representative:
- Do I have mental health coverage?
- Will my insurance pay for psychotherapy services provided by the specific therapist I am interested in seeing?
- Am I required to “preauthorize” psychotherapy sessions before I meet with a therapist? If yes, how many sessions are pre-authorized? Is there an authorization number?
- What amount am I expected to pay for each session (usually either a percentage or a co-pay amount)?
- Are my mental health benefits subject to a deductible? If so, how much is it?
- Is there a limit to the number of sessions insurance will cover each year? If yes, how many?
- Is there an annual dollar amount limit on my mental health benefits? If yes, how much?
- Is it necessary for a Licensed Independent Social Worker to be supervised by a Psychologist?
