Fees & Investment
Our Practice Philosophy
At North Salem Psychotherapy, we provide a low-volume, high-touch sanctuary for life’s most intense transitions. By operating as a primarily private-pay practice, we ensure your care is dictated by your goals—not an insurance company’s mandates. This allows for total diagnostic privacy, individualized session frequency, and a focus on Identity and Regulation.
Professional Fees
Clinical Director: $250 per 50-minute session
Associate Specialist: $150 per 50-minute session
The "Out-of-Network" Advantage
Most of our clients with PPO plans (UnitedHealthcare, BCBS, Oxford, Cigna) are eligible for significant reimbursement. We believe your time is better spent on your growth than on paperwork, which is why we provide Concierge Billing through our partner, Mentaya.
Our Concierge Benefit: While most practices pass the Mentaya service fee onto the client, North Salem Psychotherapy covers this 5% cost for you. We believe you should be able to focus on your wellness, not on paperwork.
How it works: 1. You pay for your session at the time of service. 2. Mentaya automatically files the claims for you. 3. Your insurance provider mails your reimbursement check directly to you.

Insurance & Accessibility
To support accessibility within our local community, we maintain a very limited number of in-network spots for Aetna members.
Note for Aetna Members: Please inquire about current availability for these specialized spots. Please be aware that insurance carriers require a clinical mental health diagnosis to authorize coverage.
Diagnostic Privacy: Many of our families choose our private-pay option to keep their (or their teen’s) records entirely off insurance databases and avoid a permanent diagnostic label.
