Fees & Payment Options
At Alan Behrman & Associates, our goal is to make quality care accessible, flexible, and focused entirely on what you need—not what your insurance allows.
We offer both private pay and insurance-based options.
Private Pay
About 60% of our clients choose private pay because it allows for the most flexibility and privacy in treatment. We’re also happy to discuss sliding scale options, when available, to help make private pay more accessible.
By choosing private pay, you’re choosing a more personalized, confidential, and empowering experience. And we’re here to support you, whichever route you take.
Benefits:
- You don’t need a diagnosis on your medical record
- You and your therapist decide how often and how long you meet—not an insurance company
- You avoid the stress of coverage limitations, session caps, and appeal processes
- You maintain full control over your mental health care, without third-party involvement
Therapist’s rates:
Our private pay rates range from $125 to $175 per session, depending on the therapist.
These rates are listed in each therapist’s informed consent and will be included in your initial appointment confirmation.
Psychiatry rates:
Our private pay rates range from $300 to $400 per intake and $175 to $225 for follow ups, depending on the practitioner and complexity.
Insurance
We do work with a number of insurance companies and can connect you with a provider who is in-network—just let us know when you reach out to schedule.
Risks:
- Diagnosis is required on your medical record, which may affect future life or health insurance applications
- Insurance companies have control over approval/denial of service and may push back on recommended care.
- Many plans have high deductibles or session limits that may restrict your care
- Insurance companies may request detailed information about your treatment
- Flexibility in session frequency, length, and focus is often limited
Please keep in mind:
- We don’t rely on insurance company directories, as they are often outdated or inaccurate. We’re happy to confirm current in-network providers directly.
- If you request in-network services, we’ll never schedule you with an out-of-network provider without confirming with you first.
- We’ll also handle the authorization and claims process for you.
If you have any questions about fees, private pay, or insurance- we’re happy to help.
