Making Therapy and Wellness More Affordable, the BeWELL Way
Invest in Yourself with BeWELL
At BeWELL, we understand that therapy is a significant investment in your personal well-being and growth. Serving the tri-state area and beyond, we are committed to making this investment more accessible and affordable for you. Here’s how we do it:
1. Specialized Trained Practitioners
Our team comprises highly trained therapists and coaches who specialize and have received advanced training in various modalities, ensuring you receive the best possible care.
In NYC and the surrounding areas, the market value rate for therapy with specialized clinicians typically ranges from $200 to $400 per session. At BeWELL, we offer competitive rates ranging from $175 per session with our associate therapists to $300 with our advanced senior therapists, providing you with top-notch services at a range of rates. Here’s what it means to be a “specialty practitioner”.
Specialized Trained Clinicians and Coaches
- Expert Training: Advanced degrees and certifications in specific therapeutic modalities or coaching techniques. BeWELL practitioners have advanced training in anxiety, trauma treatment, relationship/family therapies, psychoanalysis, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
- Focused Expertise: Specialize in areas like trauma, anxiety, or mindfulness, providing targeted treatment that addresses symptoms directly and effectively.
- Niche Experience: Work with particular demographics or issues, offering specialized insights and methods. Experience for BeWELL therapists and coaches includes evidence-based training, clinical supervision, and continued education in their area of specialization.
- Rates Aligning With Experience: Associate therapists at BeWELL start at $175 per session with around three years of experience. Rates can range up to $300 per session, depending on years of experience, additional training, continuing education, and supervised hours. Please know that the therapist rate can be a different rate from what you personally are paying using your insurance benefits. Be WELL Psychotherapy and Wellness also offers mind-body coaching and other wellness offerings that promote integrative wellness and deeper healing.
To learn more about your insurance coverage, please contact a BeWELL client care coordinator.
2. In-House Billing Department
Navigating the complexities of insurance can be daunting. Our in-house billing department is here to help. Once your out-of-network deductible is met, we assist in managing your claims to offset the cost of therapy. This support ensures you maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.
Let’s go through an example…
Imagine you have an out-of-network deductible of $500. Once you meet this deductible, your insurance starts contributing toward your therapy sessions. If your insurance allows up to $150 per session, they’ll cover this amount for you. This amount is referred to as the “allowed amount” by insurance companies.
Now, let’s say you’re seeing a BeWELL therapist who specializes in anxiety and charges $200 per session. After your deductible is met, your insurance’s allowed amount is $150 per session. This means you only need to pay the remaining $50 out of pocket for each session.
So, if you have a session at BeWELL with a specialist who is both highly trained and provides focused care for your needs, you benefit from top-quality treatment while keeping your personal costs manageable.
3. Flexible Spending Options
We accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), allowing you to use pre-tax dollars to cover therapy expenses. This flexibility can significantly reduce your overall costs and make therapy more manageable within your budget.
4. Sliding Scale Options
Understanding that financial situations can vary, we offer sliding-scale options for those who need it. Our goal is to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent you from receiving the care you need.
BeWELL’s senior staff closely supervises our interns and associate therapists. This provides a flexible range of services at a lower cost while still maintaining the high standard of BeWELL’s specialized care.
Mind Body Coaching For Optimal Health
At BeWELL Psychotherapy and Wellness, we offer mind-body coaching designed to promote integrative health and optimal wellness. Our coaching services provide a holistic approach, combining psychological and wellness practices to support your overall well-being. By addressing both mind and body, our coaching can help you achieve balance, reduce stress, and enhance your quality of life.
At this time, wellness coaching is not covered by insurance. However, you can use your FSA or HSA account to cover the costs of our coaching services. To support your wellness goals and honor your financial means, we also offer payment plans for our coaching services. Please contact one of our client care coordinators for more information.
