Insurance and fees
Money shouldn’t be the reason you don’t call.
The cost of therapy in Frisco varies depending on the therapist’s experience, credentials, session length, and whether you use insurance or pay privately.
At Counseling & Nature Therapy Center, individual therapy sessions with Licensed Professional Counselors can be as low as a co-pay or free depending on your insurance.
Paying privately
What a session costs
Private pay sessions with our Licensed Professional Counselors are $165, and intake appointments are $185. Sessions with Licensed Professional Counselor Associates are $125, with intake appointments costing $150.
| Session | First session | After that |
|---|---|---|
| With a Licensed Professional Counselor 50-60 minutes, including EMDR | $18575 min | $165 |
| With a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate 50-60 minutes | $150 | $125 |
| Walk and Talk therapy Outdoors at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, Plano | $200 | |
A sliding scale is available on all three - see if cost is the obstacle.

If cost is the obstacle
Say so on the call. There is usually a way.
Sliding scale therapy rates may be available based on financial need, therapist availability, and other factors. Because sliding scale openings may be limited, we recommend contacting our office to discuss current options.
Three things worth knowing before you decide you can’t afford it:
- A sliding scale exists, and the openings change - ask
- Out-of-network benefits often cover part of the cost
- We check your benefits before your first session, not after
If we cannot accommodate you we will refer you to community partners that do take your insurance.
Using out-of-network benefits
If your therapist is not in network with your insurance company, you may be able to use out-of-network mental health benefits. Depending on your insurance plan, your insurance company may reimburse you for a portion of the cost of therapy after you meet your out-of-network deductible.
We can provide documentation, often called a superbill, that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your insurance company and is not guaranteed.
A superbill lists
- Dates of service
- Diagnosis codes
- Procedure codes
- Fees
- Provider information
Your right to an estimate
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
Paperwork and letters
Assessments, letters, and other paperwork requests are charged at $50 per request. In cases of extensive paperwork and assessments, you will be charged the hourly rate in accordance with your therapist’s billable hourly rate.
