Couples therapy is appropriate for all persons in relationships. Many people seek couples therapy to save a failing relationship or to work through a specific issue (depression, sex, codependency, trauma, parenting clashes, boundaries, social anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality, narcissism). Others seek couples therapy to prepare for marriage, or to gain clarity about their vulnerabilities as a couple.
Family Therapy

Family therapy is a useful modality to help strengthen the ways in which family members relate to one another. Frequently, parents seek out family therapy when they are not getting along with their children, their kids are 'out of control', or there is immense sibling rivalry.

The fee for individual, couples and family therapy is between $35-$200 a session. Payment is due at the start of each session. Each therapist has his or her own set fee. Group sessions are $10 each. You can see the actual therapist fees HERE. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, HSA Debit Cards.
Insurance: Most insurance companies will reimburse you for our services. Prior to starting treatment we encourage you to call them to determine the exact amount your insurance company will reimburse you.

Qualifying for assistance from Pennsylvania's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Pennsylvania'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.
