*If your child is receiving testing services by a psychologist, please work with your insurance company on what is covered. We are happy to provide the billing codes, units, and prices upon request; however your insurance company will be able to give a better estimate of total approved expenses and any out of pocket costs you may have.

The rates listed above are for our most often billed therapy services. For therapists and psychologists, there may be additional charges for group therapy, family therapy, emergency therapy, and consultation. Please talk to your provider or our Financial Services team if you have questions or a service you know your child will be receiving is not listed here.

Psychiatry

New visit/Intake: $473.25
Established visit (follow up): the price range starts between $114 and $309 per visit and will vary depending on time spent, level of complexity, whether or not therapy was provided in addition to medication management services, and consultation.  

Clinic fees are billed to insurance for those with coverage. We will submit your claims to your insurance company, and you will receive monthly statements. Children’s provides care regardless of a family's ability to pay, and also offers financial assistance to families.

Our counseling centers are accredited by the Council on Accreditation. This organization reviews our administrative and service delivery practices every four years.

Counseling sessions are confidential. Information is shared only with a client’s permission – for legal purposes, insurance eligibility or the diagnosis, assessment or provision of other services.

Our office-based counseling programs include:

• Individual, family, and group therapy
