Therapy Rate Tiers

At Paper Cranes Counseling, we prioritize accessibility for wellness seekers within our community, financial sustainability, and fair compensation for our team. That's why we offer different rates for our therapeutic services, each with its own unique benefits. Whether you choose our Community-Supported Rate, Fair Access Rate, or Rebalancing Rate, you can rest assured that you will receive the support you need while also contributing to the health and well-being of our community.

Community-Supported Rate: $100/session

For those having difficulty affording therapy at the standard rate, we can offer services at our Community-Supported Rate - based upon clinician availability. This tier is based on the concept of community support, where individuals who can afford our services pay a little extra to help subsidize the cost for those who cannot. This way, people who may not have been able to afford therapy can receive it at a discount.

We understand that this rate may still be out of reach for some people so we encourage applying for therapy scholarship programs (i.e. through The Loveland Foundation, Inclusive Therapists, Asian Mental Health Collective, etc.), participating in group therapy, or by seeking organizations that solely focus on providing free / low-cost therapy such as local community mental health agencies and non-profits.

Fair Access Rate: $150/session

Our Fair Access Rate is our starting standard rate for therapy services. This rate is designed to provide fair compensation for our staff while still being affordable for most of our clients. We provide high-quality therapeutic services at this rate, ensuring that clients receive the support they need while also being able to manage their finances.

Rebalancing Rate: $200/session

Our Rebalancing Rate is for clients who want to support our mission to increase accessibility for others while also receiving therapeutic services. This rate is higher than our Fair Access Rate and allows us to offer discounted, and occasionally pro bono, services to clients who cannot afford them. By choosing this tier, you not only receive high-quality therapy but also contribute to the financial sustainability of our practice and help promote community access to therapy. If you are financially able to support those who cannot easily access therapy due to financial and other barriers, you can select this rate to support our mission to continue to provide services to Community-Supported individuals.

 

USING YOUR OUT-OF-NETWORK PROVIDER BENEFITS:

Therapy may be covered, in part, by your health insurance for out-of-network providers. What that means is that you would pay for therapy at the time of your session and seek potential reimbursement from your insurance provider. If you have a covered diagnosis, we can provide you with a superbill (upon request) for submission to your insurance provider. Be sure to look at your benefits if you will be seeking reimbursement, although reimbursement is not guaranteed and you may not receive the full amount.

You may check your coverage for out of network provider services by asking your insurance provider the following questions:

  • Do I have mental health insurance benefits for an out-of-network provider?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • How many therapy sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What is the amount of reimbursement per therapy session?

While we don't accept insurance, we work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. You can sign up using this link: Mentaya App

Note: Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and as your therapist we do not benefit in any way from your participation.
