Therapy Fees
As an alternative to using insurance, choosing to pay for therapy yourself has a number of benefits. You have more options in choice of therapist, no formal diagnosis is required, you can be seen more quickly and there is no limit to the number of sessions you can attend. Ultimately, you are in control vs. your insurance company.
The following fees reflect self-pay rates and do not apply to insurance. Therapists' fees may vary by speciality and level of experience.

Insurance:To make our services more broadly available, certain providers may participate on the following Insurance Plans:
Tricare United Behavioral Health Humana Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicaid Medicaid (Traditional) Superior Medicare (Traditional) Amerigroup -Dell Childrens' Please contact us for details on what providers may take your insurance. (512) 704-8349 [email protected] Out of Network Benefits: A great way to use your benefits and choose your preferred therapist. Many insurance companies offer "out-of-network benefits". This allows you the flexibility to choose a therapist outside of your insurance network, while still taking advantage of your insurance coverage. To access "out-of-network benefits" you must first pay the therapist's fee up front (at the time of session). We will then provide you with a special receipt known as a Super Bill you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. If you need assistance submitting a Super Bill, Reimbursify can greatly simplify the process for you. Insurance companies often reimburse 40% - 80% of the standard fee, after a yearly deductible is met, with a limit of sessions per calendar year. Many clients choose this option so they can see the clinician of their choice. PAYMENTS DUE: Payments are due at the beginning of each session. Please be aware that you are responsible for paying amounts left unpaid by your insurance company (e.g.,deductibles). EXACT FEE AMOUNT: We do not give change. If paying in cash, please bring exact session fee. |

No Show Fee: $75 No-show fees and balances on your account may be paid on-line safely and securely via PayPal. Co-pays must be paid in person at the time of appointment.

Cancelled Appointments:Appointments must be cancelled 24 hours prior to your appointment time or you will be billed a $75.00 No-Show fee for the missed session.
