Rates and Insurance for Counseling & Therapy Services
Individual Counseling & Therapy, Couples Therapy, Marriage Counseling, and Online Counseling in Columbia and Jefferson City, MO
There are a large variety of questions we receive related to rates, insurance, sliding scales, and the like. These should answer most of them, but if you need any additional information, email us directly and we’ll attempt to get things clarified for you! *A small note - sometimes that clarification includes requesting you contact your insurance provider directly.
-
Rates for individual counseling, couples therapy and marriage counseling sessions vary based on which of our team you decide to work with (lots of great choices there). Ultimately, our rates vary from $55-$155 for a 55-minute session (a therapeutic hour). The first session is approximately double the cost of your agreed-upon rate.
-
We do, but only for individual work! We accept UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Anthem/BCBS, Medicare, Medicaid, and TriWest. Not all of our clinicians accept insurance within the hub. This is primarily due to license level restrictions–meaning that only fully licensed clinicians can be credentialed with insurance companies in Missouri.
For folks who don’t have insurance, want to work with a provider who doesn’t accept insurance, and/or are going for out of network benefits, we can provide monthly statements for you to submit to your insurance provider if you’d like to attempt to receive some reimbursement for services.
It’s important to note that The Counseling Hub doesn't have any control over whether or not you are eligible for reimbursement through your insurance provider. If you do have insurance, you can call your insurance company and ask if they reimburse for out-of-network providers. If so, then we can provide you with the proper paperwork for insurance reimbursement.

Great question!
We do same-day charges for any services rendered. In essence, we’ll collect one of three things:
a) The payment for your copay
b) The payment for your contracted rate, or
c) The client responsibility after having met your deductibleWhat we collect is dependent on your coverage, but you’ll be informed of the specifics of that before you even set foot in the office (virtual or in person). No surprises over here.
-
We don’t. The long and short of this decision is that accepting insurance for the style of therapy we do with regard to couples/relationship work would be fraudulent. As much as we want to accept insurance for couples/relationship work, we’re not willing to engage in fraud to make that happen!
-
The Counseling Hub offers sliding scale rates for counseling that are based on gross household income. To be fair, we require proof of income prior to the first session. Additionally, one of the many benefits of having interns with the practice is that we can offer sessions at a reduced rate. Please make sure to ask when you contact us for setting up your first session.

That's a great question. Short answer is that we have clinicians with varying levels of licensure status, experience, and training, and the rates each counselor offers is reflective of those things. You can read more about each clinician on the “Clinical Team” page to get a feel for who you’d want to work with, and you can contact us directly with questions regarding fees for counselors at (573) 586-3204.

Blueprint helps you and your therapist keep track of how you're feeling during treatment. Brief questionnaires give you another way to discuss progress and decide whether something needs to change in therapy.
Where the fee applies, Blueprint costs $15 per month for individual therapy or $15 per couple for couples therapy. If you attend both, you aren't charged the fee twice. The fee is billed separately and is not submitted to insurance. Contact our billing team to confirm whether it applies to your care and when charges begin or end.
