Fees for Therapy
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 $185 for the initial 75-minute intake session. If you decide to pursue therapy or consultation, individual sessions are 50 minutes and $140. 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.

Stephens and Case-Vincent work under the supervision of Licensed Psychologist Dr. Mike Brooks, and Matt Geracie works under the supervision of a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor Jiovann Carrasco, MA, LPC-S as well as Dr. Brooks. Drs. Stephens and Case-Vincent and Mr. Geracie are highly qualified practitioners with a wealth of therapy experience. Drs. Stephens and Case-Vincent’s fee for a 75-minute initial therapy session is $100 and subsequent 50-minute therapy sessions are $75. Mr. Geracie’s fee for the intake session and subsequent sessions is $60.
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 Post-Doctoral Psychology Residents or LPC-Interns.
DARS
The ApaCenter also offers therapy for persons who are eligible for benefits through the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS). Currently, our Post-Doctoral Psychology Residents, Dr. Iektje Stephens and Dr. Melissa Case-Vincent, are providing these therapy services under the supervision of Dr. Mike Brooks. Before scheduling an appointment with us, please contact your counselor at DARS to formally get these services approved.
