Fees & Investment

Investing in Your Healing, Growth, and Resilience

At Female Empowered Progressions Counseling, therapy isn’t just a weekly appointment—it is a dedicated, transformative space designed specifically for over-functioning and high-anxiety women, leaders (both in their families and/ at work), and perfectionists ready to heal deep-seated trauma, overcome burnout, and break free from old patterns.

When you work with a specialized trauma clinician, you are investing in evidence-based care tailored entirely to your unique life, schedule, and goals.

Why Choose a Private Pay Specialist?

High-achieving women often choose private pay (out-of-network) therapy for several key reasons:

  1. Uncompromised Privacy & Confidentiality

    Insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis that remains on your permanent medical record. Private pay protects your privacy completely—no clinical diagnoses are submitted to third parties.

  2. Personalized, Unrestricted Care

    Insurance companies often dictate the number of sessions, duration, and specific treatment methods allowed. Private pay ensures that you and your therapist control your care, allowing us to move at the precise pace your healing requires.

  3. Specialized Expertise

    You receive specialized, high-touch care from an expert trained in complex trauma and EMDR, rather than generalized, one-size-fits-all therapy.

Payment & Reimbursement

Payment is due at the time of service via major credit cards, debit cards, HSA (Health Savings Account), or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards.

Out-of-Network Benefits (Superbills)

If you wish to utilize your out-of-network insurance benefits, I am happy to provide you with a monthly Superbill(detailed receipt). Many PPO insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services.

Tip: You can call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask: "What are my out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health therapy (CPT Code 90837)?"

While FEP prioritizes private pay to deliver the highest level of tailored trauma care, a limited number of insurance plans may be accepted upon request depending on availability. Please reach out during your consultation to inquire about specific network status.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We operate as an out-of-network (OON) provider for most major insurance plans. This means payment is due at the time of service, but your insurance company may reimburse you for a portion of the cost depending on your out-of-network benefits.

    We can provide you with a monthly itemized receipt (called a Superbill) that you can submit directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

  • We recommend calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card and asking the following questions:

    • Do I have out-of-network mental/behavioral health benefits?

    • What is my out-of-network deductible, and has it been met?

    • What percentage of the session cost is covered once my deductible is met?

    • What is the allowable amount for CPT code 90837 (individual therapy) or 90834?

    • How do I submit a Superbill for reimbursement?

  • Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

    You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, including psychotherapy sessions. You will receive a formal Good Faith Estimate in writing prior to your first appointment. For more information, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.

  • Select insurance plans are accepted, though only a limited number of insurance-based clients can be accommodated at this time. Please inquire about your plan and availability.

  • We accept all major credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express), as well as HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Savings Account) cards.

    All client accounts require a credit or debit card on file in our secure, HIPAA-compliant portal.

  • We require at least 24 hours' advanced notice for any session cancellations or rescheduling requests.

    Because your session time is reserved exclusively for you, cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice—as well as missed appointments (no-shows)—will be charged the full session fee. Please note that insurance companies do not reimburse for missed or late-canceled sessions.

  • We maintain a limited number of sliding scale spots based on financial need and availability. If our standard rates are out of reach, please ask about current sliding scale availability during your initial consultation call. If our caseload is full, we are happy to provide referrals to low-cost community clinics.
