Cost of Therapy

We operate on a sliding fee scale that is based on annual income and the number of people in the home that income supports. Our fees are very reasonable, and we will work with people with special financial problems to assure that they can afford to receive services. We expect payment at the time of service, and accept cash, check or credit card.

For NIU students, there is a $5 fee per therapy session.

We do not accept insurance directly. Many people have insurance policies that pay for part or all of therapy, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance company.

First Session–Always Free

We offer an initial "problem assessment session," or intake, at no charge. This session takes about an hour and a half and includes an interview with a staff clinician and paperwork. We ask you about the problem(s) leading you to seek our therapy or evaluation services, your background and your current life. During that session, we also provide you with information about how we work as a clinic (similar to the information on this website but in greater detail).
