Fees
Fees for the ApaCenter therapy, and consultation are competitive given the high level of expertise of our practitioners and the quality of our services. ApaCenter services are generally self-pay. This allows you to have the maximum control of your records and privacy as well as freedom of choice in selecting who provides the services that you or your child receives. Most of our licensed professionals are also insurance providers within the Seton Health Plan.
Fees for Therapy and Consultation
The ApaCenter offers therapy and consultation at standard and reduced rates. Our standard fee for individual therapy or consultation with a Licensed Psychologist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker is $175 for the initial 75-minute intake session. If you decide to pursue therapy or consultation, individual sessions are 50 minutes and $120. Couples and family counseling sessions are $140 for 50-minute sessions. Fees for Dr. Mike Brooks are $185 for the 75-minute intake session and $150 for individual therapy sessions. Couples and family counseling sessions for Dr. Mike Brooks are $160 for 50-minute sessions.
Reduced Fees for Therapy and Consultation
Two practitioners at the ApaCenter provide therapy, consultation, and ADHD coaching at reduced rates. These are with our two Doctoral Psychology Interns, Iektje Stephens M.A. and Lindsay Bell M.Ed., who are working under the supervision of Licensed Psychologists Dr. Vickie Schafer, Dr. Monica Wolfe, and Dr. Mike Brooks. Our interns are highly qualified practitioners with a wealth of therapy experience. Their fee for a 75-minute initial therapy session and subsequent 50-minute therapy sessions is $60.
Fees for Assessments
The Licensed Psychologists at the ApaCenter conduct assessments of young children (age 3) through adults for issues such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Autism Spectrum Disorders (including Asperger’s Syndrome), learning disabilities, gifted and talented, and emotional/psychological challenges. Our fees for the assessments are competitive with those of other psychologists who provide a similar level of comprehensiveness and expertise.

Insurance
If you decide to pursue reimbursement from an insurance company other than the Seton Health Plan, the ApaCenter would be considered an “out of network” provider. We will provide you with an invoice for the services that you receive that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. The ApaCenter does not guarantee that your insurance company will reimburse you for services because plans vary considerably. Please note that insurance companies do not reimburse for sessions conducted by Doctoral Psychology Interns.
If you would like to set up an initial therapy appointment, please contact us at (512) 891-1500.

The ApaCenter also offers therapy for persons who are eligible for benefits through the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS). Currently, our doctoral psychology interns, Iektje Stephens M.A. and Lindsay Bell M.Ed., are providing these therapy services under the supervision of Licensed Psychologists Dr. Vickie Schafer, Dr. Monica Wolfe, and Dr. Mike Brooks.
