THERAPY COUNSELING

Live LIfe Wellness Clinic understand that insurance plans can differ, so please note that payment amounts may vary depending on your specific insurance provider. Our dedicated team will work closely with you to determine the coverage and payment options available to you.

For self-pay patients without insurance, we offer services at three different levels: licensed, associate, and graduate student. Each level provides professional counseling with varying rates to accommodate different financial situations.

Our licensed level consists of experienced and fully licensed therapists who have expertise in various areas of counseling. The rates for licensed therapists reflect their extensive training and expertise.

The associate level includes therapists who have completed their graduate degrees and are working towards obtaining their full licensure. These therapists provide high-quality counseling at a reduced rate, making it an affordable option for those seeking professional help.

At the graduate student level, we have therapists who are currently pursuing their graduate degrees in counseling. Under the supervision of our licensed professionals, they offer counseling services at a significantly reduced rate. This level provides an opportunity for individuals on a limited budget to receive quality counseling from dedicated and passionate therapists.

At Live Life Wellness Clinic, we are committed to making counseling accessible to all individuals. We understand that financial constraints should not hinder someone from seeking the support they need. Whether you have insurance coverage or are a self-pay patient, we strive to provide affordable rates and quality counseling services to help you live your best life

Additional Factors That You Might Not Be Aware Of When Filing With Insurance Companies

Labeling: Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis prior to reimbursing for services. Most of our clients are merely facing a stressful situation and need assistance navigating through a challenging situation. We are uncomfortable forcing a label on our clients that will follow them for the rest of their life. For example, you may file for life insurance or apply for a job and the application asks about a prior mental health diagnosis. If it is on file with your insurance company, you will have to disclose that information.
Lack of Confidentiality: What is discussed between you and your counselor is confidential. However, what you tell your counselor is not considered confidential if you file with an insurance company. The content of your session is shared with your insurance company and based on the information provided, they decide if you are allowed additional sessions or not. We believe that this decision should be left to you and your counselor—not an insurance company.
Higher Fees: Dealing with insurance companies has become so time consuming as they require more and more documentation. At times, it can actually exceed the amount of time spent with the client. When this time exceeds what is considered “reasonable and customary,” the charge gets passed along to the client, resulting in higher fees.

Payment Cash, check, all major credit cards and medical pay flex account cards are accepted methods of payment.
