Fees & FAQs
What are your session fees?
Our session fees range from $125 to $275 per session, depending on a few factors.
Fees are based on session length and the experience of your clinician. Longer sessions—such as many couples or intake sessions—are typically on the higher end. Court-ordered therapy sessions also fall on the higher end, as they require specialized training and expertise.
No matter the fee, every BrightWay clinician is carefully vetted, well-trained, and clinically sound. A lower fee doesn’t mean a lower level of care, it simply reflects fewer years in the field. We’ll always talk through fees ahead of time so there are no surprises.
Do you take insurance?
We don’t work directly with insurance companies; however, we are an insurance-friendly practice. We prioritize quality, time, and clinical depth—rather than volume or insurance-driven limits. This allows us to focus fully on what will serve you best, without restrictions around diagnoses, session limits, or treatment timelines.
We also know cost matters. If you’d like to see whether out-of-network benefits might help, you’re welcome to use our complimentary benefits checker. In most cases, we’re able to submit superbills on your behalf as a convenience, with any reimbursement going directly to you. If we’re unable to submit it directly, we’ll make sure you have everything your insurance company needs. Many of our clients are being reimbursed a portion of their session fees, although in order to submit a claim, insurance requires us to document a mental health diagnosis for you.
If you have questions, we’re always happy to talk it through.
How is your approach different from other counseling practices?
Many people come to us after they have tried counseling before. We believe the counseling relationship is central to meaningful change. We prioritize quality care, personalized attention, and thoughtful treatment planning. Each of our therapists specializes in different aspects of family dynamics—whether working with children, parents, couples, or families. With our 360 approach, we take time to understand your patterns, relationships, and goals so therapy feels personalized, collaborative and intentional to support lasting change.
What can I expect in my first session?
You can expect your first session to feel like a genuine conversation. We’ll guide you every step of the way. We’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand what’s bringing you in, your goals, and your overall context. It’s not a rigid checklist—it’s a warm, collaborative process that helps us build a trusting relationship and begin shaping a personalized plan. By the end, you’ll know what to expect moving forward and feel comfortable with how we’ll get there.

How long does therapy usually take?
Sometimes people feel a sense of relief—even after the first session. Lasting, meaningful change, however, takes time. For some, therapy may be 3-4 months focused on a specific goal. For others, it’s a longer journey of deeper growth. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust along the way, so you always have clarity about how things are going and what’s next. Most of our clients begin with weekly sessions for the initial part of therapy and as they make progress, move to bi monthly and then once per month until they are ready to “graduate.” Of course we are here if and when there is a desire to come back for additional support or new circumstances.
How do I know which therapist is the right fit for me?
Finding the right fit matters. Our client care coordinator is here to help you navigate our clinicians’ specialties and recommend a therapist who best aligns with your needs. We also offer a complimentary consult call so we can talk through what you’re looking for and help guide that decision together. And if we’re not the right fit, we’ll gladly help connect you with trusted referrals. Your care—and getting the right support—always comes first.
Do you offer in-person or telehealth sessions?
We offer both. Most of our therapists provide a mix of in-person sessions at our office and telehealth sessions, depending on your needs, preferences, and location.
