We believe therapy should be an affordable option for everyone. Most commercial insurance is accepted. However, as insurance plans vary greatly, we will look into your benefit allowances. A sliding scale is available for clients without insurance coverage. The Intake Coordinator and Eligibility Specialist will provide more details.
We also participate in the PA Medicaid program (CBH).
You may qualify for funding available through our community partnerships. Our Intake Coordinator can explain more.
