Counseling Therapy Cost St. Louis & St. Charles

Rate Details

Rates for service are maintained by each therapist and may vary depending on the therapist’s licensure status and/or academic title (LPC, PLPC, CIT & MHS definitions may be found below), the type of therapy, expected modality and if any appropriate specialty protocols will be utilized for which the therapist has been additionally certified to perform above and beyond their state licensure or academic title. It will be both yours and the therapist’s responsibility to establish the expected rate prior to or at the beginning of your initial appointment. Payment can be made by check, cash, credit card, HSA card, debit card or supported money transfer apps. However, the Counseling Intern rate is set by Kaleo at $10 per session and cash is appreciated. In the case of payment options that charge an additional fee outside of Kaleo’s control the therapist may add a processing fee to the agreed upon rate to cover said fees and you will be informed prior to the payment processing transaction. All fees are due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been agreed upon by all parties.

Additonal Information

Counseling Therapy Insurance: 

Please see the Therapists page for each counselor’s insurance information. Licensed Professional Counselors are the only counselors qualified to accept insurance. “Out-of-network” means that the counselor does not bill insurance, but rather is private pay. However, if your insurance provides reimbursement for out-of-network providers, we can provide you with a receipt to submit to your insurance company. Your insurance company would then reimburse you for a portion of the full fee you paid for each session. Contact your insurance provider for questions concerning your benefits.

*Please note that when submitting receipts for your reimbursement, insurance companies require that we provide a mental health diagnosis. This diagnosis will become a part of your permanent medical record. Please talk with your counselor if you have any concerns or questions regarding insurance reimbursement. 

Churches: 

Some churches are able to assist in payment for counseling services either by paying for sessions in full, by paying a portion of the fee, or by covering a certain number of sessions. We desire to partner with churches so that you can obtain services as needed. Please speak with your pastor or church leader to inquire if this is an option for you.

Discounted Counseling: 

There is limited availability of reduced fee counseling due to financial need. Please contact our main number to inquire about reduced fee counseling availability.
