Here’s What You Can Expect From Private Pay Therapy

Several of our therapists do not accept health insurance.  Here are some considerations of what to expect from private pay therapy.

  1. The private pay route for therapy does no limit the number of sessions.  Paying for therapy means you can go as often as you like.
  2. Your session details will not be shared with insurance.
  3. The insurance company will not know your diagnosis.
  4. You may be able to claim the annual cost of therapy as a medical expense tax deduction.

FAQ’s About Therapy

Currently, we have two therapists who accept insurance.  These insurances include  Aetna, BCBSTX, UHC, Oxford and Cigna.

The other therapists that do not accept insurance can provide a ‘Superbill’.  If you have out of network coverage with your insurer, this document is used to submit a claim for possible reimbursement.

Please check with your insurance carrier about “Out of Network” (OON) coverage.  Reimbursement can be as much as 70% but there is usually a deductible.

We also accept payment from HSA/FSA accounts.  Psychotherapy, ketamine therapy and some nutritional services are eligible for HSA/FSA.

Our rates for individual and couples sessions range between $80 – $180. The rate is dependent on the service, therapist, frequency, and availability. Some therapists offer a limited number of sliding scale spots.  If this is something you are interested in, please mention this in your initial inquiry.

At Flourish, we use the term psychotherapist to define our role as long term therapists.  We believe a long term therapeutic relationship develops healthy relationship skills for our clients.   These skills can improve current or new relationships with friends, family and colleagues. Additionally,  the term psychotherapist differentiates our work from other therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and massage.

Licensed psychologists hold doctoral degrees in psychology.  Psychotherapists usually hold masters degrees in either psychology, counseling or social work.  Comparatively they many similarities in their foundational academic education.  Additionally they share similar paths to licensure that require at least two years of clinical supervision in the state of Texas.

First, spend a few minutes reading the bio’s of different therapists.   See if their specialties, treatment models or personal stories resonate with you.
