No Surprises Act

Starting therapy is already hard enough, you shouldn’t have to worry about how much it will cost. At Inner World Counseling Services, we strive to be honest and transparent about costs of services before you start counseling.

You are entitled to complete understanding. Zero unexpected costs, zero complexity.

Whether you plan to utilize your health insurance or choose to pay privately, our team will thoughtfully guide you through your available options, ensuring you can make informed choices that feel right for your circumstances. While we strive for absolute accuracy, we acknowledge our human element and consistently urge you to verify your own coverage and benefits details—just in case there are any oversights.

Therapy is a significant and worthwhile investment in your future, and providing transparent, clear financial information is a core principle in how we value that commitment.

We gladly accept private pay client. Self pay rate is $180 for a follow up and $210 for an intake/initial assessment. Kindly note there are fees charge for any appointment canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, as well as for no-show appointments.

Out-of-Network Coverage & Superbills

If I am not in-network with your specific insurance provider, you may still be able to receive reimbursement for our sessions through your "Out-of-Network" benefits.

Upon request, I can provide you with a Superbill. This is a detailed, itemized receipt that includes all the clinical information (such as diagnosis and procedure codes) required by insurance companies. You can submit this document directly to your insurer to seek partial reimbursement for the cost of your sessions.

Pro Tip: I recommend calling your insurance company’s member services line and asking: "Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health, and if so, what is my reimbursement rate for a superbill?"
