What therapy costs here, and how superbills work.

The fee is $150 for each 50-minute individual therapy session. Payment is due at the appointment. This applies to sessions in person in Midvale and sessions by telehealth anywhere in Utah.

The first step is a free 15-minute consultation. That call gives you space to ask about fit, privacy, the approaches Brian uses, scheduling, and practical details. It is not a therapy session, and there is no charge for it.

This practice provides individual counseling only. It does not offer couples sessions. Brian is licensed in Utah only, so you must be physically located in Utah during a telehealth therapy appointment.

The practice is self-pay and does not submit claims directly to insurance. You pay the practice at the appointment. That keeps the payment relationship straightforward, but it does not mean your plan has no possible out-of-network benefit.

Some insurance plans reimburse part of an eligible out-of-network service after you submit documentation. Other plans do not. Deductibles, allowed amounts, documentation rules, and exclusions vary by plan. Brian cannot promise what an insurer will pay or whether a claim will be approved.

You remain in control of whether insurance becomes part of the process. You can pay privately without requesting a superbill, or request one and decide whether to submit it. The choice belongs to you.

A superbill is a document with information an insurer may request when you seek out-of-network reimbursement. It identifies the provider and service and contains clinical and billing information associated with the appointment.

The practice can provide a superbill on request. It is not sent automatically to your employer, department, agency, hospital, or insurer. You receive it and control whether it goes anywhere else. If privacy is central to your decision, ask what information appears on the document before requesting or submitting it.

A superbill is not a guarantee of payment. It gives you documentation to submit, but the insurer applies your plan’s rules. The insurer may reimburse some, all, or none of the amount, and the amount may differ from the session fee.

Call the member-services number on your insurance card and ask about out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits. Keep the conversation general until you decide what information you want to share. Write down the date, the answers, and any reference number the representative provides.

Ask whether your plan has an out-of-network deductible and how much of it remains. Ask what percentage or amount may be reimbursed after that deductible is met. Ask whether reimbursement is based on the provider’s fee or on the plan’s allowed amount, because those can be different.

Ask what documents are required, where you submit them, and whether there is a deadline. You can also ask whether prior authorization is required and whether telehealth is treated differently. These are general questions for your insurer, not a promise that the insurer will approve a claim.

If the answers are unclear, ask the representative to explain the terms in plain language. You can call again if needed. Your policy documents and insurer are the source for your plan’s rules; the practice cannot interpret or guarantee those benefits for you.

Submitting a superbill shares information with the insurer. That may include identifying, service, and clinical billing information. Before submitting, you can ask the insurer how claims information is handled and review what appears in your member portal or explanation of benefits.

If another person is the primary subscriber on the plan, ask the insurer how communications and explanations of benefits are delivered. The practice does not provide legal advice about insurance privacy, but you can gather the plan’s process before deciding whether to submit anything.

You might choose not to use out-of-network benefits to keep payment separate, or decide that possible reimbursement is worth submitting the document. Neither choice changes the therapy fee owed to the practice at the appointment.

You have a right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of scheduled care when applicable. The estimate helps you understand anticipated charges based on the services planned at that time. It is not a contract for a clinical outcome or a required number of sessions.

Read the Good Faith Estimate notice for the practice’s full information, including what to do if a bill is substantially higher than the estimate. Keep a copy of any estimate you receive with your own records.

The estimate can change if the planned services change. You can ask questions about the fee, the estimate, or a charge before paying. Clear financial information is part of informed care.

Start with the known cost: $150 per 50-minute session, paid at the appointment. Then use only reimbursement information your insurer confirms for your specific plan. Avoid building a budget around an assumed payment that has not been verified.

Sessions can begin weekly and move to every other week as things stabilize, based on the therapy plan and your circumstances. This is not a promise about duration or results. You and Brian can discuss cadence directly so you understand the practical commitment before continuing.

Use the free 15-minute consultation to ask about fees and format, or send a message if you prefer to begin in writing. You can also read what the first session looks like. If you’re in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
