How much is therapy in Chicago?

The cost of therapy in Chicago can vary significantly from $150 to $500 per session depending on your therapist’s experience, credentials, frequency, and if you have out-of-network benefits. The therapy services at Thriving Center of Psychology range from $100-$400. While we are out-of-network, we have various mental health care services for different needs and budgets.

Why do most therapists in Chicago, Illinois, not take health insurance?

Many therapists in Chicago choose not to accept insurance for several reasons. The reality of providers who take insurance is that they are often overbooked, having to work overtime just to keep up. Therapists' reimbursement rates sometimes differ from their standard rates, making it challenging to offer high-quality, individualized care. Thriving Center of Psychology is an out-of-network provider, which allows us to look after our therapists, and in turn, they can offer personalized mental health care without being overworked.

How much does insurance cover for therapy sessions out-of-network?

Some insurance plans cover 50% to 80% of out-of-network therapy session costs. Contact your insurance to check your plan and coverage for therapy sessions.

Does insurance cover online therapy?

Depending on your coverage, your insurance plan may cover online therapy. Online therapy is becoming more popular with many insurance plans, including online therapy. Although we do not accept insurance, we can provide you with the paperwork for out-of-network reimbursement.

How do I schedule my first therapy appointment?

What is the difference between a therapist and a psychologist in Chicago?

The terms “therapist” and “psychologist” are often used interchangeably in therapy, but there is a difference. Psychologists hold a doctoral degree. Not all therapists have a doctoral degree. All our therapists are rigorously vetted, have, at minimum, a Master’s degree, and are experts in their respective fields.
