Session Rates

At Haus of Mental Health Counseling, therapy is intentional and individualized. Session length may vary depending on the type of therapeutic work being completed and your individual treatment needs.

Initial Consultation — $50

Up to 30 minutes

A focused consultation to discuss what you would like to work on, learn more about the Haus approach, and determine whether our experiential treatment model may be an appropriate fit.

If you choose to move forward, your $50 consultation fee will be applied toward your Comprehensive Assessment.

Comprehensive Assessment & Treatment Planning — $225

Up to 2 hours

An extended initial session designed to understand your history, current concerns, significant experiences, patterns, strengths, and treatment goals.

This session allows us to develop an individualized treatment direction and determine which approaches—including EMDR-AF, mindfulness-based practices, guided imagery, developmental repair, and other experiential interventions—may be appropriate for your care.

Individual Experiential Psychotherapy — $175

50–55 minutes

Purposeful individual psychotherapy focused on your established treatment goals. Sessions may incorporate EMDR-AF, mindfulness-based practices, guided vivid imagery, developmental repair, memory processing, and other experiential approaches based on clinical need and appropriateness.

Extended Processing Session — $250

90 minutes

Additional time for clients engaging in deeper experiential or memory-processing work. Extended sessions provide more time for preparation, therapeutic processing, and integration without being limited by the traditional therapy hour.

Follow up Processing Session — $125

50-55 mins

Rather than being structured around a traditional weekly recap, follow-up sessions are designed to continue the therapeutic work identified in your treatment plan.

**Extended and intensive sessions are offered when clinically appropriate and are not required for every client.

Haus of Mental Health Counseling operates as a private-pay practice. While we do not directly bill most insurance plans, many clients are still able to use their insurance benefits through out-of-network reimbursement.

We encourage contacting your insurer and asking:

1. Does my plan include out-of-network mental health coverage?

2. What is my annual deductible for mental health?

3. What is my co-insurance percentage?

4. Is there a session limit per year?

5. How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement?

If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit a receipt often called a “superbill” to your insurance provider for partial reimbursement of session fees. The amount reimbursed varies depending on your individual insurance plan.

Therapy is individual, and duration varies by client. Haus of Mental Health Counseling provides a structured framework to help clients understand the process, but timelines are flexible and can be extended as needed.

A typical therapy progression may include:

• Weekly sessions during the beginning phase

• Transitioning to sessions every 2 weeks

• Then every 3 weeks

• Eventually moving into maintenance or as-needed care

Clients may attend therapy for months or years, take breaks, and return at any time. If a client has not attended a session within 3 months, we will reach out to discuss case closure. Any returning client simply completes a new intake session.

We value communication and encourage clients to email updates or check-ins as needed.

Medical Necessity

As part of our transparent and ethical practice, we help clients understand whether their needs meet criteria for using insurance. Insurance can only be used when therapy addresses a mental health condition identifiable through the DSM-5. This includes:

• Symptoms causing clinically significant distress or impairment

• Symptoms meeting duration/frequency requirements

• Clear, measurable treatment goals

• Risk of symptoms worsening without treatment

• Consistent weekly or biweekly sessions

• Outpatient therapy being the appropriate level of care

Clients who meet medical necessity may use any of the insurances credentialed under our practice.

Problems in Living (Non–Medical Necessity)

Insurance cannot be used when an assessment does not identify a diagnosable mental health condition. These clients may still benefit greatly from therapy as part of their overall well-being, but sessions will be out-of-pocket.

“Problems in living” may include:

• Symptoms that do not meet DSM-5 criteria

• Communication skills

• Therapy as self-care

• Self-esteem or confidence building

• Emotional support, stress management, or venting

• Validation and gentle confrontation

• Problem-solving and life transitions

• Sessions more than once per week

• Couples therapy when neither partner meets diagnostic criteria

• Psychoeducation (parent training, attachment-focused work)

• Relationship challenges: communication issues, anger management, boundaries, burnout, family tension, emotional triggers, nervous system regulation

Problems in living clients can still experience significant personal transformation—therapy simply serves as self-improvement rather than insurance-based medical treatment.
