Our Practice - TN Mental Wellness Therapy Rates

Sessions with an Intern Therapist in a Master’s Degree program under Clinical Supervision are:

$55 for a 45-55 minute session
$55 for a 45-55 minute WEEKEND Session

In-Person Sessions ONLY (No Online appointments available)

Note: At TNMW, if you are seeing a Masters Level Counselor (Under Supervision), know that we are very selective in our hiring process and work extremely closely with the supervising clinician to ensure their development and the quality of the treatment they deliver. We set the private pay-per-session rates for these counselors significantly lower than our seasoned and licensed therapists. This can mean significant financial savings when looking at the long-term costs of seeking treatment. We have found that many people will opt to see an Intern who is not paneled with their insurance company because the per-session rate can be lower than the copay or cost of counseling using their high-deductible plans.

Your emotional and relationship health are too important to compromise. Get the specialized, high-quality care you deserve.

Our mission is to help you grow and change in a safe environment where your confidentiality and goals for growth are protected. Counseling can be a vulnerable experience, and aspects of working with insurance companies may undermine the safe environment we fiercely seek to protect. These are the reasons why we do not accept insurance:

Reason #1: It’s Not Confidential

In order to have insurance cover counseling, we have to diagnose you. Even if it’s not appropriate, there has to be a diagnosis. For example, if someone seeks counseling for help adjusting to a new life event, or for help creating and maintaining a healthier lifestyle, they would need a diagnosis for it to be covered by insurance. The diagnosis would remain on your permanent medical record. We, along with many therapist colleagues, feel everyone should have access to counseling, not just those who qualify for a diagnosis. We want you to get help without having to have a diagnosis!

Reason #2: You Have to Be Diagnosed

If we were to work with insurance companies, we would be required to disclose information to a third-party insurance or technology company (for the Electronic Medical Records), and this creates an increased risk of your information being compromised. Additionally, if you ever need a federal background check, want to be a pilot, or for a variety of other reasons, a diagnosis can be disclosed through your insurance company. We want you to have the most confidential counseling!

Reason #3: They Decide Your Treatment

Insurance companies decide on treatment. They determine the number of sessions and the frequency. We believe this should be a collaborative decision between you and your therapist. Sometimes you need shorter sessions or longer ones. Maybe you need them twice per week or once per month. Our clients enjoy the freedom to choose what treatment is best along with their therapist. We want you to get the best quality counseling treatment!

Payments:

We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards as forms of payment. We also accept HSA and FSA cards for Self-Pay sessions.

Out of Network Reimbursement:

Our Self-Pay Therapists are not directly paneled with your insurance; However, you may still be able to submit a receipt for partial reimbursement to your insurance company. Call the customer service number on the back of your card to ask if you have out-of-network mental health outpatient benefits and about the details of what they reimburse.

Cancellation Policy:

If you cannot attend a session, please cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you will be charged the FULL session fee.
