Common FAQ’s
When can I get started?
How do I find the right therapist?
How do I get started?
What kind of clients do you see?
How long are the sessions?
Do you accept insurance?
We are out-of-network with all insurance companies, but that doesn’t mean your insurance won’t cover some of your expenses. We will gladly file claims for you, and you will receive reimbursement based on your out-of-network benefits for mental health services. Simply stated, we ask you to pay for services when you receive them, we’ll file a claim with your insurance company, and they’ll send you a refund for whatever amount they cover.
How much does therapy cost?
All our clinicians set their own fees, so we’ll share this information as soon as we connect you with one. The initial appointment averages between $150 and $260, and follow-up sessions average between $150 and $225. If money is a concern, let us know, and our New Client Specialists can help you explore options.
How much does testing cost?
A psychologist will meet with you to understand your situation and determine what type of testing will best serve your needs. This initial consultation costs $250. Any recommended testing is done by a licensed psychologist and costs $350 per hour. Once testing is completed, you meet for a feedback session (also $250) to review results and learn how these insights can help you reach your goals.
Admissions testing fees vary depending on each school’s requirements. We also want you to be aware that insurance may not cover testing that they consider educational.
What if I need medication?
What if I don’t live in Charlotte?
You can connect with your therapist for a session from any state in which they are licensed using a convenient and secure teletherapy platform.
How do I get to your office?
We have two convenient locations in Charlotte, NC: one in SouthPark and one in Ballantyne.
