Free Initial Phone Consult (10-15mins): This initial phone call is used to discuss services, review your goals/reasons for seeking counseling, and answer any questions you may have. During the call you will have the option to schedule your first counseling session or discuss other options for treatment.

Private-Pay/Out-of-Pocket: CLV Counseling is currently accepting private pay clients. Some who have insurance choose to not use it and elect private pay only due to various insurance reasons. For example. insurance companies may limit the number of therapy sessions that you are eligible for, based on your diagnosis, and all counseling must be considered "medically necessary.” If you pay out of pocket/private-pay, you’ll have more freedom in deciding how often and how long to continue your therapy, and your counseling will be 100% confidential (insurance companies can request records). Therapy Sessions (50mins) = $150

Insurance Options: CLV Counseling is currently in-network with: Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare; UMR; AllSavers UHC; UHC Student Resources; Optum insurances. If you wish to use any other insurance, we will provide a superbill (the document most insurance companies require for OON reimbursement) after every session in an easily downloadable PDF format. This allows you to either electronically submit to your insurance for reimbursement at any time.

You may pay an overall lower cost by using your out-of-network benefits option. For example: You attend a session and are charged $150 for a session then send the Superbill documentation to your insurance, and then they send you a reimbursement of $100 (example), and then your total out of pocket cost is per session is $50. (HSA/FSA accepted)

CLV Counseling accepts Cash, Credit, Check, HSA/FSA.

Why don’t you accept all insurances? Many of our clients have expressed concerns about going through their insurance companies for therapy, in part because we must assign you a mental health diagnosis for insurance reimbursement, and that diagnosis goes on your medical record. Sometimes these diagnoses are not the most accurate reflection of why you wanted therapy. For those whose issues are subclinical in nature, this is especially relevant as insurance may not provide coverage. Many insurance companies may limit the number of therapy sessions that you are eligible for, based on your diagnosis, and all counseling must be considered "medically necessary". We must then justify ongoing treatment in order for the coverage to continue taking away from direct client care. Due to the concerns related above, we have elected to stay a mostly private-pay counseling practice.
