Rates & Insurance

Individual Therapy Rates

• Individual sessions range from $160 to $185 per session

Couples Therapy Rates

Insurance does not typically cover couples therapy. The reason for this is that insurance only covers the medically necessary treatment of mental health disorders and couples work doesn’t fall into this category.

Couples seeking therapy are hoping to improve their relationship. They want to effectively communicate, rebuild trust, strengthen their partnership, improve intimacy and enjoy each other again. Unfortunately, insurance views this the same way they view cosmetic surgery – it’s wonderful, but it’s not medically necessary.

Other therapy practices may allow you to use your health insurance for couples work. When they do that, they choose one partner and give them a mental health diagnosis. Sessions then are required to meet insurance documentation guidelines for the treatment of the diagnosis rather than following a structured model of couples therapy.

• Couples and Family sessions range from $160 to $240 per session
• Intensive Couples Sessions start at $750 half day

Insurance

I participate with most, but not all, insurance plans. However, I do not accept Medicaid or AHCCCS plans. Depending on your current health insurance provider it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your insurance company at the member's services number on the back of your card to verify how your plan compensates for behavioral health services.

I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

• Does my health insurance plan include behavioral health benefits?
• Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it, and have I met it yet?
• Do I have coinsurance or a copayment? If so, what it that amount?
• Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
• Disclaimer: Please be advised that Best Life Counseling and Wellness is not responsible for reimbursement that is denied by your insurance company for any reason.

Payment

I accept cash, HSA, debit and all major credit cards as forms of payment.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. There is a firm cancellation fee for no-shows and appointments cancelled within the 24 hour window.
