Fees, Payment Options, & Insurance

At Trinity, we’re committed to making mental health care accessible. Our clinicians offer a range of payment options to fit your needs.

Insurance-Paneled Clinicians

Some of our clinicians are in-network with select insurance plans, which may allow you to use your insurance benefits to help cover the cost of sessions. Availability with in-network providers depends on your specific plan β€” please contact us to confirm coverage.

Private Pay Clinicians

Other clinicians on our team are private pay only, meaning they do not bill insurance directly. Many clients choose this option for greater flexibility, privacy, and continuity of care, without the constraints sometimes imposed by insurance requirements. We’re happy to provide a superbill upon request, which you may be able to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Private Pay Fees are as follows:

  • Individual Sessions = $150 / 50-minute session
  • Couple, Dyad, Family Sessions = $165 / 50-minute session

We accept payment via cash, check, major credit cards, or an HSA card at the time of service. Many people are unaware that they may have out-of-network benefits available to them. Check with your insurance, and if you do have out-of-network benefits, we’re happy to provide a superbill for potential reimbursement.

Sliding Scale Options

For our private pay clients, we offer a sliding scale for our services that is based on gross household income. The sliding scale is available to those clients for whom our full fee would present a financial hardship.Β Proof of income is required.

Common Questions About Payment & Insurance

The counselors at Trinity Family Counseling Center offer a range of payment options to fit your needs.

Do you accept insurance?

Some clinicians are in-network with select plans; others are private pay only. Contact us and we’ll match you with a provider that fits your insurance situation.

Panel status can change, so the best way to confirm is to contact us directly.

You pay out of pocket at the time of service; the clinician doesn’t bill your insurance directly. Many clients choose this for more flexibility and privacy.

Possibly. We can provide a superbill β€” a receipt you can submit to your insurer for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your plan, and a mental health diagnosis is required.

You pay for sessions at the time of service. If approved, your insurance company reimburses you directly according to your plan’s out-of-network benefits.

No. Clients are responsible for submitting superbills to their insurance company. We provide the documentation needed upon request.

Many insurance plans require a diagnosis to process claims. If you choose to submit a superbill, a diagnosis may be included. [A diagnosis will be determined based on your presenting issue, such as anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, adjustment disorder, trauma and stressor-related disorder, ADHD, etc. Your counselor will discuss any and all diagnoses with you prior to submission.]

Superbills are available upon request, typically after each session or as a monthly summary.

How to Use a Superbill for Individual Counseling (Out-of-Network Insurance)

For our Private Pay Clients:

Payment is due at the time services are rendered. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may choose to submit a superbill for possible reimbursement.

What Is a Superbill?

A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes information insurance companies typically require when reviewing out-of-network claims. Submission of a superbill does not guarantee reimbursement.

How the Superbill Process Works

  1. Pay for your session at the time of service
  2. Request a superbill after your session or as a monthly summary
  3. Submit the superbill to your insurance provider (online or by mail)
  4. Insurance reviews the claim
  5. Reimbursement (if approved) is sent directly to you
