Good Faith Estimate
As of January 1, 2022, under the No Surprises Act, you are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) explaining the expected costs of mental health services when you are not using insurance. This is to support financial transparency and allow you to make informed decisions about your care.
At Nuance Therapy, PLLC, I believe in transparency and want you to feel informed and empowered as you begin therapy. This is not a contract and does not obligate you to attend any specific number of sessions. You will only be responsible for each scheduled session at the time of service. No future services will be billed unless explicitly scheduled and agreed to in advance. While it’s hard to predict exactly how many sessions you may need, the information below provides a clear starting point.
Session Rates and Service Codes
Service — Session Length — CPT Code — Rate
Diagnostic Intake — 50 minutes — 90791 — $215
Individual Therapy — 50 minutes — 90834 — $215
Individual Therapy — 80 minutes — 90837 — $345
Estimated Total Cost
Examples based on common therapy timelines:
Weekly for 3 months: $215 per individual session x 12 sessions = $2,580
Biweekly for a year: $215 per individual session x 24 sessions = $5,160
Weekly for a year: $215 per individual session x 48 sessions = $10,320
The total cost of your care will depend on the number of sessions you attend, the duration of those sessions, and your therapy goals (short-term vs. long-term). I typically recommend that new clients begin with 8 weekly sessions ($215 per session x 8 sessions = $1,720) to allow for thoughtful assessment and rapport-building. Depending on the therapy needs and goals, most clients either continue at a weekly cadence or reduce to biweekly sessions. Monthly or as-needed sessions are typically recommended for clients who have met their primary therapy goals but wish to maintain ongoing therapeutic support to maintain and achieve lasting therapy progress. Determining session frequency is a collaborative process between the therapist and client.
