Affordable counseling without insurance
You don't need insurance to go to therapy.
For many people, paying the full out-of-pocket cost of a traditional therapy session can make ongoing counseling difficult to afford. Others have insurance but face high deductibles, limited networks, or other barriers to seeing the therapist they want. RMC Counseling offers affordable therapy without insurance through our graduate clinicians.

- Don't have health insurance

Frequently asked questions about affordable therapy
If standard private-pay therapy is outside your budget, there are several options worth exploring. These can include working with a graduate clinician, asking about sliding scale therapy, looking for community mental health services, exploring support groups, checking employee assistance programs through your employer, or asking a counseling center about reduced-fee services. At RMC Counseling, one way we make therapy more accessible is by offering reduced-cost sessions with graduate clinicians working under licensed supervision.
The most affordable option depends on your circumstances. Free support groups and community programs may have little or no cost, while graduate clinicians, nonprofit counseling centers, and therapists with sliding scale rates can provide lower-cost individual therapy. If you want consistent one-on-one therapy, working with a supervised graduate clinician can be one of the more affordable ways to access ongoing professional counseling.
Free mental health resources may be available through community organizations, nonprofit programs, schools and universities, support groups, crisis services, or employee assistance programs. Availability and eligibility vary. RMC Counseling does not guarantee free therapy, but we offer reduced-cost counseling for people seeking a more affordable alternative to standard private-pay therapy.
The cost of therapy without insurance varies by therapist, and traditional private-pay therapy can often cost well over $150 per session. Our graduate clinicians offer sessions on a sliding scale with reduced rates, which can help make consistent therapy possible if you've been searching for inexpensive therapy, low-cost therapy, or affordable counseling.
Therapy prices vary significantly depending on the therapist's credentials and specialization, the type of therapy, and the length of the session. If the normal private-pay price of therapy isn't financially sustainable for you, reduced-fee counseling with a graduate clinician may provide a more affordable option.
A one-hour therapy session can vary considerably in price. Independently licensed therapists commonly charge higher private-pay rates than graduate clinicians or therapists offering reduced-fee services. At RMC Counseling, our graduate clinicians provide therapy on a sliding scale with reduced rates, making ongoing counseling more affordable for people paying out of pocket.
Sliding scale therapy means the price of therapy may be adjusted based on factors such as financial circumstances or income rather than every client paying the same standard rate. Not every therapist offers a sliding scale, and availability can vary. Contact RMC Counseling to learn about current reduced-fee and sliding scale therapy options.
Yes. You do not need health insurance to see a therapist. Many therapists accept self-pay clients, meaning you pay directly for each therapy session instead of submitting the service to an insurance company. Reduced-fee programs can make therapy without insurance considerably more affordable.
