We believe cost should never feel unclear or surprising.

Under the federal No Surprises Act, self-pay and uninsured clients have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before services begin or anytime they ask.

Your estimate will simply outline:

• Expected cost per session
• A general sense of total cost based on your care plan

This is meant to help you make an informed decision about starting therapy.

• This is an estimate, not a contract
• Your care may change as your needs change
• If your final cost is significantly higher, you have the right to dispute charges under federal law

If anything feels unclear, reach out before your first session. We’re happy to talk it through.
