Your Questions, Answered

  • Our virtual therapy is not a 24/7 crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, please call 911. For help with suicidal thoughts or mental health emergencies, consider using the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or local crisis resources.

  • Therapy costs depend on whether you use insurance and which type of therapist you see.

    Using insurance:
    We accept several major insurance plans in Texas, including BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS), UnitedHealthcare (Optum and Oscar), Aetna, Cigna, and Curative. Coverage is different for each plan, so we check your benefits during the inquiry process to help you understand your expected cost.

    Paying out of pocket:
    If you do not use insurance, we offer affordable self-pay options:

    • $30 per session with supervised graduate interns

    • $85 per session ($100 for the first session) with LPC-Associates

    • $100 per session ($115 for the first session) with fully licensed LPCs

    If cost is a concern:
    Our fees can be scaled further based on need, and we do not turn anyone away because of cost. We work with clients to help make therapy affordable.

  • We conduct sessions via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform so you can meet with your therapist from wherever you are in Texas. You just need a device (computer, smartphone, or tablet), internet access, a camera & mic, and a private space.

  • Absolutely. Research and clinical practice support that telehealth can be just as effective as in-person therapy. For many clients, online counseling offers more flexibility, removes commuting barriers, and makes it easier to stay consistent with therapy.

  • Yes. We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Your sessions, paperwork, and treatment are handled with strict confidentiality.

  • To get started, fill out our Appointment Request form on the website.

  • Yes. While we use tiered pricing, our fees can be scaled further based on individual need. We do not turn anyone away from therapy due to cost. Our goal is to ensure that clients across Texas have access to affordable mental health care, regardless of financial circumstances.

    This approach allows us to offer low-cost therapy options, including reduced-rate sessions, while maintaining high-quality clinical care.
