Insurance and Fees

There is no charge for an initial phone consultation - typically 15-20 minutes. 

The initial sessions are $200 and the additional sessions are $175.

We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, BCBS Blue Choice, and, Aetna PPO insurance plans, and we provide a billing statement that you can submit to your insurance provider if we are out of network. We can also bill your out-of-network benefits directly as a courtesy to you.

Please verify with your insurance that we are in-network and what your expected costs will be prior to the first session. While we attempt to verify your benefits ahead of time, it is not a guarantee of coverage and may not be accurate. It is the responsibility of the insured to ensure their own coverage. We will support you in navigating any additional insurance questions if needed. If you have specific billing questions please email billing@relationalpsychologygroup.com
