THERAPY SERVICES & PRICING MENU

Welcome to Grotto! We feel transparency is an important aspect of building trust. Below, please find the types of therapy sessions we offer. The prices listed are subject to adjustment due to insurance or individual need. These prices are based on industry standard within the realm of trauma therapy. Our clinicians are doctoral-level psychologists, each with a history of expertise in trauma recovery in addition to a niche competence in a specialty area of this domain: youth, identity, veterans and active military, queer community, second generation immigrants, urban violence, domestic violence. We understand that trauma is complex enough, we want to help make the journey easier. We offer support in terms of making your therapeutic goal financially manageable as we can. We offer assistance in filing insurance claims as is feasible and can directly bill most major insurance carriers. In addition, once you begin therapy, you will have a price that is locked in even in the event that prices are increased due to market norms. We also offer sliding scale as needed. Each clinician has a different preference for paneling with insurance providers. Many clinicians opt to protect the privacy of clients and prefer not to render a diagnosis which is required for insurance claim purposes. Other providers offer services that may not always be covered by insurance, ie. couples and family. Thus, by default, billing is out-of-network. We can submit claims and honor the copay required for most major insurance policies whether the Grotto clinician is in or out of network. Once you enroll as a new client, we will verify your benefits and contact you to confirm the rate for services. Please contact us if you have questions about services or pricing at (877) 292-6020 or email admin@grottopsych.com.

Individual Sessions $200 (50 MIN)/ $260 NYC (50 MIN)

Sessions typically begin with a brief check-in regarding the client’s experience of the time between sessions.
