We strive to be transparent with all of our fees. These are the range of fees for services at ACIP, however specific rates vary by therapist based on their education level and years of  experience. Please see the “Rates" information in blue box of each of our therapist's profile page for their specific fees.

  • Initial Phone Consultation: Free (15 min)

  • Intake Session: $200 - $275

  • Individual Therapy Session: $150 - $225

  • Couples/Relationship Therapy Session: $150 - $250

  • Group Therapy Session: $50-$85

  • Lower Cost Therapy Provided by Advanced Counseling Interns: $50 - $75 per session

Reduced Fees
& Sliding Scale

​In our efforts to provide accessible services in accordance with our social justice values, all of our therapists offer reduced-rates/sliding fee range based on financial need. In addition, we have doctoral-level counseling interns who provide low-cost services ($50-$75). 

 

We will work collaboratively with you to set a fee for services that meets both your needs and honors the clinical experience & expertise of our therapists. We do not ask for any proof of income, but we do ask you to consider the following points which take into account income as well the impact that marginalized identities may have on financial privilege and access to resources. 
 

Consider Paying Full Fee if you:

  • Have it in your capacity to sustain the costs and value of these services

  • You are able to comfortably meet all of your basic needs

  • You/your household have steady income that sustains you

  • Have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money

  • Have access to family money and resources in times of need

  • Work part time by choice or are not employed by choice

  • Have multiple streams of income

  • Have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education, gender, and racial privilege, class background, etc.

Consider Paying a Reduced Fee if you:

  • Want to make therapy a financial priority but you have financial constraints

  • Frequently stress about meeting your basic needs and may not always achieve them

  • Have significant debt

  • Have very limited financial income

  • Receive public assistance

  • Have immigration-related expenses

  • Are an unpaid community organizer

  • Are in re-entry and have been denied work due to incarceration history

  • Have unstable housing or unstable transportation

  • Cannot afford vacations or have inability to take time off without financial burden

  • Are a single parent or single income family due to life circumstances

​ ​

​Payment  is expected at the time of the session unless other arrangements have been made in advance.  HSA/FSA cards are also accepted.​

Insurance Reimbursement

We do not bill health insurance and our services are considered as out-of-network (with the sole exception of Pacific Source health plans). This means that you are responsible for paying for the costs of services at the time of the session.  If you have out-of-network health care benefits, you may be reimbursed a portion of our fees by submitting a “superbill” (a detailed receipt that contains required insurance information) which we are happy to provide you. If you choose to utilize your out of network benefits, it is your responsibility to submit the superbill for reimbursement.  Please be aware your insurance provider may choose to cover all, some or none of these services. Therefore, before your first session, we strongly suggest you contact your insurance company to verify your out-of-network coverage of outpatient mental health services.

​​​

To find out IF you have out of network benefits and what portion of our fees they may cover, please contact your insurance company directly by calling the customer service phone number on the back of your insurance card (there is often a separate phone number for mental health or “behavioral health” services information).  

When speaking with your insurance company, you will want to ask them the following questions:  

  • What are my “out-of-network” outpatient mental health insurance benefits?

  • What is my deductible and how much of it have I met?

  • Is it possible to meet with a provider that I choose and submit receipts for reimbursement?

  • What is the process for seeking reimbursement?

  • Are there any limitations on how many services a year that will be covered?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session (CPT codes: 90837 (55 min)  or 90834 (45 min))?

  • How long will it take to get my reimbursement?

  • Do I need a referral from a primary care physician?

  • Do my benefits cover telehealth services (online counseling)?​

We also recommend the Reimburisfy App which can assist you in submitting claims to your health insurance provider.
