Services & Rates

Balanced Within Counseling is not contracted with any insurance plans.

As the founder and sole practitioner of all clinical services at Balanced Within Counseling, I am strictly a private-pay and out-of-network (OON) provider. 

If you have good OON benefits, your insurance company may provide decent partial reimbursement. This means that in some situations, using your OON benefits can actually be more affordable or comparable to your standard copay to seeing an in-network provider. (add a range of reimbursement)

I provide a monthly superbill if your insurance plan offers OON coverage. If you are unsure about the mental health benefits of your health insurance plan, you will need to contact your insurance company. It will only take a few minutes to verify benefits. Call the member services number on the back of your insurance card. Verify the following information:

1. Mental health benefits associated with your plan

2. Amount of co-pay for therapy sessions (note: the copay is the amount you pay out of pocket for each session)

3. Limits (if any) on number of sessions that will be covered

4. Do you have to meet a deductible before your insurance will cover the therapy session?

5. If yes, what is the deductible amount? (note: a deductible is a specified amount of money that the insured must pay before an insurance company will pay a claim)

Please check with your insurance prior to scheduling an appointment. Please note that you are solely responsible for any and all communication and procedures related to your reimbursement for OON coverage. I cannot guarantee your OON reimbursements.

I accept debit, credit, and HSA/FSA cards for payment, All payments are collected immediately following the appointment via a payment processing system within Orchid, my HIPAA-compliant Electronic Health Record system. 

I am deeply committed to making quality mental health care accessible to those facing financial barriers. I also recognize that therapy is an investment, and I strive to balance affordability with sustainability in my practice. Because my work extends beyond direct therapy sessions, I can only offer a limited number of reduced-rate spots.

If you are in need of financial consideration, I invite you to reach out to see if any reduced-rate openings are available. I kindly ask that you assess your financial situation honestly, as accessing a lower rate when you can comfortably afford the standard fee may take away an opportunity from someone in greater need.

***As of April 2025, all reduced-rate spots are currently full. However, if you would like to be added to the waiting list, please don’t hesitate to reach out.***

Effective January 1, 2022, a ruling went into effect called the No Surprises Act, which requires practitioners to provide a Good Faith Estimate about out-of-network care.

The Good Faith Estimate works to show the costs that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service, a diagnosis, and a reason for therapy. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request, or at the time of scheduling health care items and services to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges.

Once you make a service appointment with Balanced Within Counseling, you will be provided with a more detailed Notice of No Surprises Act Protection and your personalized Good Faith Estimate.
