Rates for therapy
15-Minute Initial Phone Consultation: FREE
This is a time for us to connect and make sure we are a good fit for the issues you’re wanting to work on in counseling. We will answer any questions you have about our therapeutic approach for your issues, fees, payment, etc. We will not provide any counsel during this time; only referrals to other resources if needed. This phone consult is required prior to scheduling a session with us.
New client intake (60 min): $155-$190
The first session requires additional assessment, review and treatment planning services to make sure you are set up for success. This is slightly longer than a standard session, lasting 60 minutes.
Liz Dubovsky, Anna Shuller, Diana Wallace, Aislinn Baldi and Alisa Bivens’ rates are $155 for this initial session.
Rachel Hiraldo‘s rate is $190 for this initial session.
Individual Session (50-55 min): $130-$165
This is the standard session for individual sessions. Most clients choose to attend weekly or every two weeks. We will provide a recommendation of frequency after the first session, but it is ultimately up to the client to decide how often to attend.
Liz Dubovsky, Anna Shuller, Diana Wallace, Aislinn Baldi and Alisa Bivens’ rates are $130 for individual sessions.
Rachel Hiraldo‘s rate is $165 for individual sessions.
Check-in session (30 min): $75-$95
Sometimes clients may only need a shorter 30 minute “check-in” for maintenance. These are scheduled in collaboration with your therapist only.
Anna Shuller, Liz Dubovsky, Dianna Wallace, Aislinn Baldi and Alisa Bivens’ rates are $75 for a check-in.
Rachel Hiraldo‘s rate is $95 for a check-in.
Reports or letters: $70+
If you should need a letter for any legal or other purpose, please notify your therapist who will determine if the letter falls within the scope of your work together. Two weeks are standard time required to prepare a letter, and additional assessments or sessions may be needed. The $70 base fee ($85 for Rachel Hiraldo) includes 30 minutes of letter preparation time. If your need requires more time, the rate will increase. Generally, more than one session is required for any kind of letter that is needed. Please discuss your need upfront during your free phone consult so expectations can be provided appropriately regarding fees and required sessions. *Please note we do not make court appointments, or provide SSDI or custody evaluations.
Phone calls longer than 10 minutes: $40+
Should a client need assistance beyond 10 minutes, this additional base fee will be assessed and will increase based on time needed to address the need.
Missed appointments: $130-$165
Missed appointments and last minute cancellations are billed at the full session rate. Should you have an emergency or other serious extenuating circumstances, please notify your therapist as soon as possible.
Liz Dubovsky, Anna Shuller, Diana Wallace, Aislinn Baldi and Alisa Bivens’ rates are $130 for a missed session.
Rachel Hiraldo‘s rate is $165 for a missed session.
After-hours or emergency fee: $35
If an existing client requests an after-hour or emergency session, it is up to the discretion and availability of each individual therapist to offer this type of session. An additional charge of $35 will be added to the regular session fee.
Vivify Counseling and Wellness is not a 24/7 facility. No after-hours or emergency sessions are available for the public at large (non-current clients). Any mental health or other health emergencies should reach out to 911 or Sun Behavioral Mental Health. Additional tailored referrals for suitable emergency services will be provided to current clients.
Payment options for in-person and teletherapy
Standard payment methods
HSA and FSA cards and all major credit cards are accepted. Cash and check are accepted for those receiving in-person therapy.
Using insurance to pay for counseling
Insurances we accept are: Custom Design Benefits (True Cost plan) and Med Ben.
We are not “in-network” with other insurance carriers for reasons including your confidentiality, requirement for a diagnosis, and control over the type and length of your treatment.**
However, if you would like to utilize your insurance, you still may be able to get reimbursement for a portion of your session costs. Use the benefits checker below to instantly find out if your insurance plans reimburses you if you see someone (like us) “out of network.” Just enter your basic info, and it will provide you an ESTIMATE of how much you will likely get reimbursed. If you do have that option, you can either submit a “Superbill” (that we give you) to your insurance company to get your reimbursement, or you can pay Mentaya a 5% fee to process the claim on your behalf.
**There are a lot of factors to consider when you are deciding if you will use insurance or not. Read our article that can help you better understand your options and hopefully increase the therapists you can choose from.
If you have an HSA or FSA card, you can also utilize that to pay for your sessions. This is an easy, indirect way of using your insurance benefits for therapy services at Vivify.
