Payment & Fees
Important
At Brighter Paths Counseling & Wellness, we operate as a private-pay practice. This means we do not bill or accept insurance directly. Choosing a private-pay model allows us to protect your privacy, tailor services without insurance limitations, and focus fully on your treatment goals without third-party interference.
Session Rates:
- Individual Therapy (50 minutes): $175
- Couples Therapy (50 minutes): $175
- EMDR Intensives: Rates vary based on session length — please contact us for a detailed quote.
Payment Methods:
We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards. Payment is due at the time of service unless otherwise arranged.
Insurance & Superbills
Although we are not in-network with any insurance providers, we can provide a superbill — a detailed receipt you may submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Please note:
-
Reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies based on your specific plan and provider.
-
We encourage clients to contact their insurance company directly to ask:
-
“Do you offer out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services?”
-
“What is the reimbursement rate?”
-
“Is a diagnosis required?”
-
Cancellation Policy
We value your time and ask that you value ours as well. Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or rescheduled appointments.
Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice—or missed entirely—will be subject to the full session fee, as this time has been reserved exclusively for you.
If you’re experiencing an emergency or unavoidable circumstance, please reach out directly.
