Rates are based on type and duration of service:
- **PLEASE NOTE: Coaching sessions are private pay and are not covered by insurance. These are not special prices for counseling but instead are fees for individual coaching sessions which differ from counseling.
- Marriage counseling is also not covered by insurance. Couples must select family counseling (as this is covered under health insurance) or individual counseling (if the identified client has a mental health issue that is effecting the marital relationship).
- You are required to verify your insurance prior to your appointment. If insurance and co-pay are not verified, you will be required to pay for the session out of pocket.
