- Our Costs | Nuna Mental Health
Explore transparent pricing and payment options for therapy at Nuna Behavioral Healthcare. Private pay sliding scale sessions start at $60, with flexible options available. Learn more today! The Cost of Our Services Healthcare should be affordable and accessible. That’s why we accept most commercial insurance and offer sliding scale pricing. The Cost per Session Private Pay $60 - $325 Insurance $0 - $75 Payment Methods We Accept All Major Credit Cards HSA/FSA Payment Plans More Information on Private Payment For private pay or out-of-network clients, we accept major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and offer flexible payment plans. To ensure affordability, we provide sliding scale pricing starting at $60, based on individual financial circumstances. Why would someone use private payment? A client may choose to work with private pay therapists for mental health support for any of the following reasons. A private pay practice offers greater confidentiality. An individual may not want an insurance company to have access to their mental health records or other confidential information. Some people simply do not have insurance coverage, or their health insurance plans do not cover mental health diagnoses, and they must find a private pay therapist. An individual may want to meet with a specific mental health care professional who is outside of their insurance networks. This can include a therapy practice that offers specialized care like LGBTQ-friendly, or a therapist who works with religious trauma. Many individuals require more therapy sessions for their mental conditions than the insurance billing allows. Private pay can offer more therapy sessions for these clients. Continuity of care is more stable because neither the client nor the provider is required to work through an insurance company. This can lead to a better therapy experience. Better customized care for the client because they are not relying on insurance coverage for treatment of their mental health diagnosis, and offers greater control over the treatment process. When is insurance not accepted? If we are in-network we will always accept your insurance. If you are planning to do Psychedelic- Assisted Treatment there are some costs that are not covered by your insurance. Speak to your provider to learn more about these costs. Cost of Services with Insurance If we are in-network with your insurance company, that means we have a contract with them to cover all or the majority of the cost of our services. Based on your specific plan you may only be responsible for $0-$75, depending on your copay or coinsurance plan. If you have PPO insurance plan and your plan allows "Out-of-Network Providers,” all of our clinicians can provide a client with a statement (i.e., a “Superbill”) to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Your insurance may cover a percentage of the total cost. Learn more about paying with insurance
- Social Justice Statement | Nuna Mental Health
Read our statement on social justice, inclusivity, and equity. Social Justice Statement The purpose of this statement is to guide internal decision making and overall conduct of Nuna Behavioral Healthcare (NBHC) staff, contractors, and policies. Inclusion, racial justice, equity, and anti-oppression are central to the purpose of NBHC in addition to our desired activities and presence in our community. Background We are dedicated to dismantling oppressive forces and promoting an ongoing process of healing and transformation within ourselves and our communities. This commitment is rooted in our belief that all members of our community have inherent worth and dignity. We stand firm, as a BIPOC organization, in our position as the global majority and acknowledge the harm dominant cultures have and continue to perpetuate against us. Historical Context We recognize that the profession of social work can come from a carceral perspective and in many ways still upholds values that contribute to the oppression of marginated communities and individuals. We acknowledge harmful practices in the name of social work. As practitioners of social work (and members of marginalized groups ourselves) we acknowledge that healing requires social justice. Values Inclusivity We honor and celebrate the identities of our clients/consumers/partners because we respect each individual’s inherent worth. We embrace and celebrate cultural diversity as a source of strength for individual and community well-being. Resilience We foster our community's capacity to respond and recover from crises by leveraging local resources, strengthening local knowledge, cultivating sustainable infrastructure, and nourishing trusting relationships, particularly of marginalized communities within and beyond our local areas. Collaboration/Co-creation We uplift the self-efficacy and respect the self determination of our collaborators/clients/consumers/partners. We understand that healing is relational and that we are co-creators of the process. Anti-Racism Within our own organization and the broader society, we examine and advocate for systemic policies and practices that eliminate long standing disparities and inequities that disproportionately affect Black communities, Indigenous communities, and communities of Color. Principles Our principles define the standards that we hold for ourselves and our organization. Accountability We hold ourselves accountable to the people and communities we serve and maintaining the culture of inclusivity within the quality of care we provide

- Our Services | Nuna Mental Health
We provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other modalities to treat Anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and other conditions. Our Services Our Master's level therapists provide psychotherapy services within their scope of competency. For needs outside our scope, like Autism evaluations or ADHD medication, we’re happy to offer referrals to qualified professionals. Request information Biopsychosocial Assessment This is the first appointment with your therapist. Clients may decide to continue or be referred to another provider after the assessment. Your provider will gather your chief complaint, background information and discuss current symptoms to determine a diagnosis. This service may also include a treatment plan. Check-in Appointment A shorter, check-in or “booster” appointment for clients who do not require longer, weekly sessions. You would have an assigned therapist, but you may or may not be scheduled for weekly sessions based on your needs. Current clients who meet regularly can also request a "check-in" appointment if they need to speak with their therapist for a non-urgent and non-crisis issue. Individual Session A standard, weekly therapy appointment, in which the length is determined by a client’s concerns and needs. Sessions may be 45 minutes, 50 minutes, or 60 minutes long. Your therapist will use the treatment plan that was collaboratively created to ensue that you are making progress towards your therapeutic goals. Screening and Diagnosis We provide administration of symptom screening surveys and subsequent analysis of results. This service includes clinical perspectives of symptoms and diagnosis. Based on provider and client preferences, this service may be part of already existing sessions. Please discuss with your therapist if you are interested. Couples Session For couples who would like a trained therapist to assist them in improving communication and relationship dynamics. A couples therapist may meet with each person individually and then together as couple. Frequency and duration may also vary due to each couple's needs. EAP Appointment EAP stands for Employee Assistance Program. Many employers offer a certain amount of sessions (5-10 usually) for their employees to use if they need to address issues that are affecting their work. These sessions are 45 minutes long and they do not require a biopsychosocial assessment. The therapist will collaborate with the client to determine their goals (which are typically associated with work) and then use solution focused therapy approaches to assist the client in achieving their goals.

Have the following information ready: Insurance ID number Your name, date of birth, and Social Security number For example, on a Cigna card, the customer service number is typically located at the bottom of the back side (#14 in the sample card image). Each plan has a unique layout, but you can generally use numbers labeled "Customer Service," "Member Service," or "Mental Health/Behavioral Health." 03: Document and Communicate Details Ask the following questions during your call and write down the responses, including the name of the representative and any reference numbers: What is my copay for routine services? (you can use the CPT codes if you want to be certain) What is my coinsurance percentage? How many therapy sessions are covered per year? Can you confirm if my provider is in-network?
