Payment Options

Fees & Insurance

I believe therapy works best when expectations are clear from the beginning, including how fees and insurance are handled. You’re always welcome to reach out with questions as you consider starting therapy.

Private Pay Fees

My private pay rate is $150 per 50-55-minute individual session for new clients.

Clients who began therapy at a previously established rate will continue at their original agreed-upon fee.

Extended sessions (including EMDR or RRP-informed work when clinically appropriate) may be offered when needed and will be discussed together ahead of time.

Group Therapy (RRP)

The Relationship Recovery Process (RRP) group is $75 per 90-minute weekly session.

Insurance

I currently accept select insurance plans.

You can check your insurance coverage and confirm whether I am in-network through my Alma profile here: Melissa Mark, LPC | Counselor in AZ | Alma

If I am not in network with your provider, I can provide a superbill upon request that you may submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, as well as other out-of-network options.

Why Private Pay?

Private pay allows for more flexibility in how we work together, including the ability to tailor session length, pace, and treatment focus to your individual needs without insurance requirements shaping the process.

It also allows us to work without the need to assign a mental health diagnosis for billing purposes. Insurance companies require a diagnosis for reimbursement, which is not always necessary or reflective of the full picture of your experience. Private pay can offer more space for a holistic, person-centered approach to your care.

Sliding Scale

I hold a limited number of reduced-fee spots for clients for whom cost is a barrier. If this would support your ability to begin therapy, you’re welcome to reach out and we can talk through current availability.
