The first session will last about 50 minutes. Therapy sessions after this will last about 45-55 minutes.
This is very individualized and depends on your goals. You will work with your psychologist to figure out what is the best therapy fit for you. Some of our clients we see for a couple of months, while some have been in therapy with us for several years.
We are not in network with insurance for many reasons. One primary reason is that insurance companies can give restrictions to our therapeutic work. It is important to us that we can provide you with quality therapy without worrying whether a certain diagnosis will be covered or if insurance will stop covering mid treatment. We believe therapy decisions should be between you and your psychologist to best support you.
It is also important to us to be transparent about costs. The rates for therapy are 190-225 depending on provider. Nutrition counseling rates are 95-145 depending on appointment length. Reduced cost appointment (sliding scale) availability varies by clinician. Your therapist will talk to you about their rates.
You have the option to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement with a superbill that we provide you. Many plans have out of network benefits. If you would like to know how much your insurance company will reimburse for therapy you can call and ask them what reimbursement is for the code 90834 with a 95 modifier. Make sure to ask if you have a deductible that you need to meet before coverage kicks in. Many of Best Within You Therapy & Wellness clients get reimbursed 40-100% of the cost of therapy sessions from their insurance company through using out of network benefits. You are also welcome to use your HSA or FSA account.
Benefits of private pay include:
