Pricing
Relationship / couples therapy sessions are:
$180 for 55 minutes
Please Note: Each partner is required to participate in one individual session with Sara, which is held after the joint intake appointment. This individual session is encouraged by both the Gottman Method Couples Therapy model and the Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) model to better understand individual backgrounds, traumas, family systems, and perspectives. Payment for these sessions are at the same $180 rate per session.
How Payments Can be Made:
- Credit card (Master Card, Visa, Discover, American Express)
- Cash
- Check
Payment is due on the day of service. Confluent Relationship Therapy uses a HIPAA-compliant Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform that processes credit card payments safely and securely online.
Insurance
Confluent Relationship Therapy does not currently accept insurance as a method of payment for services. As a result, services are considered “out-of-pocket” or sometimes referred to as “self-pay” or “out-of-network”. This means clients are fully responsible for payment of relationship or couples therapy services upfront.
However, Sara can provide you with a “superbill” document to give to your insurance on a monthly basis. This allows for potential out-of-network reimbursement that would be provided directly to you, if you have out-of-network benefits with your insurance plan. You may want to call your insurance company to see what your out-of-network benefits are for behavioral health including couples/family therapy services. Please note that all no-show or late-cancelled appointment fees are not covered by any insurance carriers.
Looking for help with submitting out-of-network reimbursement claims? Try Mentaya, Reimbursify, or Thrizer! These third-party platforms allow clients to submit claims directly on their apps or websites for a small fee. Confluent Relationship Therapy does not supply a membership to these platforms, so clients pay the necessary fee to use the service on their own. For any questions, be sure to check out Reimbursify‘s website here, Mentaya‘s website here, or Thrizer’s website here!

Did You Know?
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. For example, this includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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 or call 1-800-985-3059.
