Do you take insurance?
Most insurance companies do not pay for relationship issues. We can bill insurance for some mental health issues. There are several companies that will pay us for therapy. You may contact your insurance company to find out what your coverage is for mental heath. You may contact our office if you have questions.
Because most insurance companies do not cover relationship issues under their medical insurance plan, most of our clients pay for their own therapy. They are willing to do this because of our unique approach.
How much does therapy cost?
We don’t like to discuss figures over the internet, but we are competitive and it is not as much as you might think. Please feel free to call us for details.
NOTE: Calling around for therapy to get the best price is not usually the best policy. In most instances like with a new car or CD player, if we pay more we expect more. This is not necessarily true with therapy. The most expensive therapist is not necessarily the best therapist. You want a therapist that fits with your goals. That is why we provide this information on the internet, so that you can make an educated choice.
What if we are struggling financially and cannot pay your rates?
We make referrals to agencies in the area who have sliding fees or take government subsidies. We highly recommend the Iowa State University Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic on campus in Ames (phone: 515-294-0534). The rates at the clinic are $1 per thousand annual income per hour.
Do you take Title 19 or DHS, Crime Victims or other government subsidies?
No. These programs do not cover marital which is our main area of expertise.
How do clients pay for therapy?
Clients pay at the end of each session with cash, personal check, or credit/debit card. Cash machines are located close to both offices.
Do you have a sliding fee scale?
No.
