Fees

The cost of therapy can be daunting and is often a hurdle for people accessing the care they need. Emboldened Mental Health (EMH) recognizes that therapy is an investment and is willing to work with clients and their families to find a balance that can make therapy mutually sustainable. At this time, sessions are conducted via the SimplePractice video-conferencing app and EMH only serves residents of Washington State.

At this time, session rates are as follows:

  • Free 20-minute phone or Telehealth video consultation to determine if Brianne is a good therapeutic fit for you or your teen

  • $150 for a 50-minute individual Telehealth counseling session

  • $200 for an 80-minute individual Telehealth counseling session

  • $200 for a 50-minute family Telehealth counseling session

Payment is due at time of service. Brianne accepts payment by debit/credit card, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Please give at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid paying a $75 fee.

If the cost of therapy is a challenge for you, Brianne offers a very limited number of reduced-fee counseling session slots based on need. Please inquire if one is available during your initial contact.

Insurance

Emboldened Mental Health (EMH) does not accept insurance at this time, but you may still be able to use your insurance to cover some of the cost of services. This depends on whether you have out-of-network (OON) benefits, which means your insurance will cover part of the cost of seeing a provider who is not in their network. You can contact your insurance company to confirm you OON benefits, or EMH can check your out-of-network benefits and estimated out-of-pocket cost for sessions during an initial consultation (schedule a consultation HERE).

To keep therapy affordable and to make things easier for you, EMH uses a payment app called Thrizer that does all the billing and reimbursement paperwork for you. Clients can either:

1) Use Thrizer to pay the full fee (plus a 1% claim submission fee), and then wait to receive reimbursement for your covered benefit.

-OR-

2) Pay a 5% convenience fee and only pay your co-insurance at the time of service. Thrizer will bill your insurance for the rest.

(Ex: If you have 80% coverage for OON services, then you would pay 20% of your session fee and Thrizer will cover the other 80%, and then they will work with your insurance company to be reimbursed for the services that they covered on your behalf.)

Thrizer also offers a Superbill Upload service for clients. EMH will charge the full session fee per appointment and then you will be provided with monthly “Superbills” that you can upload onto Thrizer. Thrizer will submit and manage the reimbursement claims end-to-end for you, saving you the insurance hassles.

Please contact EMH for more details about this process!
