Fees
Published self-pay rates, reduced-fee tiers, payment plans, and continued care, plus your federal right to a written Good Faith Estimate before the first session.
Self-pay session rates
Telehealth sessions are billed at the same rate as in-office sessions, and payment is due at the time of service. Effective August 2026 — rates are held for the full length of any program already underway.
The twelve-week program
Standard course of care
About $175 per week across three months. Where the treatment plan calls for group work, sessions are $45 each — a student attending all eight finishes at $2,455.
Paying over time
The program can be paid in three installments of roughly $700, due in weeks one, five and nine, at no additional cost. Families who would rather pay per session simply pay at each appointment.
Insurance
Network participation changes, so please call before the first session and we will tell you whether your plan is currently accepted. If it is not, we can provide the documentation your plan needs for out-of-network reimbursement.
Reduced-fee spots
Five reduced-fee spots are held in every cohort for families whose income would otherwise put this program out of reach. Ask for one on the first call. Eligibility is based on household income and size, verified with a single document, and reviewed once a year.
For a family of four, 200% of the federal poverty level is roughly $66,000 a year and 300% is roughly $99,000 under the HHS poverty guidelines. We will work out the exact figure with you rather than asking you to do it. Counselors are expected to make reasonable accommodations for clients who cannot afford the full fee (ACA Code of Ethics A.10.c); these spots are how we meet that standard, and no student is treated differently for holding one.
Notice of your rights
You have the right to receive a written estimate of what your care will cost before you receive it. Under federal law, health care providers must give clients who do not have insurance, or who are not using their insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical items and services — including psychotherapy.
At Mentors LLC your estimate is prepared and given to you at intake, without your having to ask for it. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
Continued care
Most families do not need a second program. They need something small and steady so that what was built over three months holds through the next semester. Continued care is offered only when there is a clinical reason for it, reviewed on a set schedule, and ended when the student no longer needs it.
One individual session a month. Skills get practiced instead of forgotten, and the counseling relationship stays intact — so a hard week in November never has to begin with explaining nine months of history to a stranger. Reviewed every 90 days.
Every other week for eight weeks, then a decision point. Built for the student who finished well but whose circumstances are still moving — a move, a new diagnosis, a change at home, a first semester of high school.
A single family session, scheduled when you need one — the start of a semester, after a setback, or before a transition you can see coming. No commitment beyond the one hour.
How continued care works
Continued care is discussed during the Legacy Growth phase, not after you leave, and it is written into the aftercare recommendations you receive at graduation. Program graduates who return do not repeat the full intake — the existing assessment and treatment history carry forward, so a returning student can usually be seen in a single scheduled session.
Monthly maintenance $135 per session · family tune-up $150 · no new intake fee for returning graduates
Continued care is billed at the same published session rates as the program, and any reduced fee a family qualified for carries forward. Continued care is never automatic and never open-ended: professional ethics require that counseling end when a client no longer needs it or is no longer benefiting (ACA Code of Ethics A.11.c), and that standard governs this offering the same as any other.

Questions about cost, insurance, or fit are exactly what the first call is for.
