Information About Our Session Rates
At Chesterfield Counseling Associates, we are committed to providing high-quality, individualized care in a professional and supportive environment. Our rates reflect the experience, training, and specialization of each clinician, while also offering a range of options to make therapy more accessible.
Session fees vary by provider based on licensure, experience, and advanced training. Sessions are typically 50 minutes in length.
- $120 to $200 for licensed and experienced therapists
- $45 to $90 for Graduate Student clinicians
Graduate student therapists are carefully selected and work under supervision, offering a more accessible option while maintaining a high standard of care. Many clients find this to be a valuable entry point into therapy.
Private Pay Practice
Chesterfield Counseling Associates is a private pay practice. This allows us to provide a more thoughtful, flexible, and personalized approach to care without many of the limitations associated with insurance-based models.
Insurance companies often require a mental health diagnosis, place restrictions on session length or frequency, and influence how treatment is structured. By working outside of these constraints, our therapists are able to focus on what is most helpful for you, rather than what is dictated by a third party.
The Benefits of Private Pay
Many of our clients choose private pay therapy for the level of care and autonomy it allows.
- Personalized Treatment: Therapy is tailored to your needs, not limited by insurance requirements or pre-approved treatment plans.
- Greater Privacy and Discretion: Your care is not shared with insurance providers, and a diagnosis is not required to begin therapy.
- Flexibility in Care: Session frequency, duration, and focus can be adjusted based on your goals rather than insurance guidelines.
- Depth and Continuity: Therapy can proceed at a pace that supports meaningful, lasting change rather than short-term symptom management.
