Fees and Payment
If you have mental health insurance coverage, you can call the Center and give us specific information about your plan. We will then check with your insurance company and determine what, if any, coverage you have and what the actual cost to you will be.
Some insurance companies and managed care organizations limit the number of providers. Thus, sometimes we have certain counselors who are providers for a company and other counselors who are not providers. When insurance coverage is used, our standard fees apply. We are Tricare providers.
You do not need to have insurance to be a client of Scotland Family Counseling Center. Fees for clients without insurance are determined by a sliding scale based on household income and the number of people in the household. For those families with low household income, our Client Aid Fund can be used to supplement client fees.
Services Offered To: Adults Couples Teens Children
Special Groups: Bilingual Faith-Based

Qualifying for assistance from North Carolina's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to North Carolina's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
