Fees
We have a range of fees based on clinician experience levels, ranging from $130 - 350 per 45 minute individual session or 80 minute couples session, to several thousand dollars for multi-day “marathon” style intensives for couples. Please click on the link below to schedule a free call with any of our therapists to answer your questions and decide which therapist would work best for you. Likewise, feel free to email us at info@CounselingATL.com and we will get back to you asap!
Payment is due at time of service, and online storage of credit card information for automatic, recurring processing is the required payment method. We accept debit/credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express) and many HSA cards are accepted, but you will need to verify that your account has sufficient funds prior to meeting with us.
Please note that 48 hour advance cancellation of scheduled appointments is required in order to avoid being charged for the full session fee.
We believe that therapy is an important decision and investment of time and money; you want to make sure you are making the right choice. Having a "good fit" between a client and therapist is critical for a successful outcome. This is why we offer a free 30 minute initial phone or video consultation if you would like to meet any of us before deciding whether or not you would like to work with us. Here are some tips for choosing the right therapist.
Also, if you cannot afford our services, are not able to see a counselor in-network with your insurance company, or need low fee counseling services, please consider contacting one of the training facilities, community counseling centers or educational institutions in Georgia we’ve compiled on this list. Although we are not able to see every couple at a reduced cost, your ability to afford treatment should never be a barrier to getting help, and thankfully there are many privately and publicly funded agencies that can help!
Your Individual insurance plan determines what you may be reimbursed
You will need to call your insurance and provide them with the license / degree of your chosen therapist and to ask if they will reimburse you for couples therapy.

Insurance
Using “Out Of Network Benefits”
If you cannot afford our services, please consider contacting your insurance company to learn how much of our counselor’s services may be covered through your out-of-network provider benefits.
None of our counselors are "in-network" provider for any insurance companies and does not bill insurance companies directly; however, you may have an “out-of-network” benefit which allows you to see any fully licensed therapist, pay directly, and then be partially reimbursed by your insurance provider. Stephanie can provide you with invoice / receipt so that you have documentation to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many insurance companies will cover 50-100% of this fee as an “out-of-network” provider.
The best way to determine what portion of our fee may (or may not) be reimbursed by your insurance company is to contact them directly by calling the customer service phone number on the back of your insurance card (there is often a separate phone number for mental health or “behavioral health” services information). When speaking with your insurance company, you will want to ask them the following questions:
What are my "out-of-network" outpatient mental health benefits? How much of each therapy session will your insurance provider reimburse (this is typically a percentage)?
Must I meet a deductible (the amount of money you have to pay before your insurance company will start to reimburse you) before my benefits will begin paying for out of network providers? Have you already paid any of this deductible?
Are there any limitations to services (e.g., only a certain amount of money allowed for mental health reimbursements, a limited number of sessions, reimbursement only for certain types of diagnoses, etc.)?
Do you need any kind of special referral (i.e., from a primary care doctor or your University Counseling Center) before I can be reimbursed?
How long will it take to get reimbursed after I mail my receipt?
Where do I need to mail or email my receipt?
Do my benefits cover online counseling?
Many individuals who have health insurance elect not to use it for coverage of mental health services, and instead pay for therapy as an "out of pocket" expense, or use their flexible or health savings account. Most often, this is due to concerns about the privacy of their health information, and the potential release of this information to health insurance companies and their affiliated entities.
