Insurance and Payment

At Bright Potential Counseling, we believe that high-quality mental health care should be accessible to everyone. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other mental health challenge, we are here to support you on your journey to healing. We are proud to offer a variety of affordable payment options to ensure that you can access the care you need, regardless of your financial situation. We offer therapy covered by insurance, low-cost options, and flexible payment plans to help you access the care you deserve.

Find Therapy with Your Insurance

If you're asking yourself, "How can I find therapy with my insurance?" — you're in the right place. At Bright Potential Counseling, we accept major insurance plans to help you get the support you need with minimal out-of-pocket therapy costs. You may be eligible for insurance-covered therapy online or in-person.

We understand the importance of making therapy affordable, which is why we are pleased to accept a wide range of insurance providers. If you're covered by one of the following health insurance plans, you can access high-quality therapy without worrying about out-of-pocket expenses:

• Aetna

• Blue Cross Blue Shield

• United Healthcare/Optum/UMR/United Healthcare Student Resources

If you're unsure whether we accept your specific insurance plan, please reach out to us and let us know what plan you have. We will be able to give you some preliminary information. To be certain about coverage, we encourage new clients to call their insurance provider to confirm that Lisa Shows, LPC is in network.

Affordable Therapy Without Insurance

If you're exploring therapy without health insurance, we offer affordable private-pay options:

Intern Counseling Sessions – Only $40

At Bright Potential Counseling, we also offer therapy sessions with our intern counselor at a special, reduced rate of $40 per session. Our intern is a graduate student in counseling, supervised by one of our licensed therapists. This is a great option if you're looking for affordable therapy and still want professional guidance and support in your healing process. Rest assured, our intern is committed to providing compassionate care and is overseen by experienced, licensed clinicians to ensure a high standard of care.

Licensed Therapists – $120 Per Session

For those who prefer to pay privately or are seeking therapy outside of their insurance network, we offer therapy with our licensed therapists at a rate of $120 per session. Our licensed therapists are highly trained and specialize in various areas of mental health, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. We believe in offering therapy that fits your needs and goals, and our private pay option ensures that you can access top-quality care without relying on insurance. This is ideal for clients choosing not to use insurance or who are paying for therapy out of pocket. We are transparent about therapy cost with insurance and without—so you can make informed decisions that fit your needs.

Use Your HSA or FSA for Therapy

We accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards, making it easier to invest in your well-being using pre-tax funds. If you're wondering about therapist payment options, this can be a smart and flexible way to cover your care. Using your HSA for therapy can be a great way to take advantage of your pre-tax savings while investing in your mental well-being. If you have an HSA card, you can easily use it to cover your therapy sessions at Bright Potential Counseling.
