I NEED MORE HELP WITH INSURANCE

Click on the below links to learn more:

• Understanding Insurance

• Insurance Out of Network

The average cost of therapy without using insurance in the Seattle metropolitan area is about $160 with a range of $30-$310.

Some therapists offer reduced fees/lower cost therapy while others are provisionally licensed accruing clinical hours toward independent licensure or still enrolled in graduate school and offer lower fees than market rate.

When you use insurance, costs are substantially lower.

Since you pay a monthly premium, the insurance company subsidizes your cost and has an agreement with the therapist for a flat rate, while you pay a co-pay or a portion of the total fees (a percentage).

The most common type of therapy most people are familiar with is called outpatient therapy where at most, you see a therapist once a week.

Outpatient therapy is defined as any therapy service offered when the client is not admitted to a hospital, residential program, or other inpatient settings.

Outpatient therapy is a resource for individuals seeking support for mental health concerns who do not require round-the-clock support or safety monitoring.

Other levels of care include:

• Intensive Outpatient (IOP): 2-3 hours daily 4-5x a week

• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): 6-7 hours a day for 4-5 days a week

• Inpatient Program (IP): Full time treatment where you live on site at a center/program/clinic

With over 970 million people living with a mental disorder worldwide, as well as a shortage of accessible care for many people, leveraging tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) could influence mental health through prevention and treatment.

AI-enabled tools can prevent more severe mental illness from developing by identifying higher-risk populations that lead to quicker intervention.

AI can detect, assess, and predict stress. For example, AI can process natural language from electronic health records to detect early cognitive impairment or child maltreatment, which can have effects on mental health across the course of one’s life.

Of course, AI and technology are not a 100% replacement for therapy and human connection, but a tool.
