Private pay membership options

Structured weekly therapy with practical tools, predictable pricing, and brief between-session support.

We offer private-pay membership options for clients who want a reserved weekly therapy appointment and a more structured care model than standard session-by-session billing. Membership can be a good fit for people who prefer not to use insurance, have high deductibles, want a predictable monthly cost, or are looking for weekly support with practical tools and clear treatment goals.

Rather than purchasing a bank of sessions, membership reserves a consistent weekly appointment time and provides defined supports between sessions. Clients receive a recurring weekly session along with psychoeducation, coping tools, and brief between-session check-ins intended to reinforce treatment — not replace therapy.

why some clients choose membership

  • A reserved weekly appointment slot
  • Predictable monthly cost
  • Structured support between sessions
  • Practical tools and psychoeducation
  • Therapy grounded in a whole-person Social Work lens

Why Membership Can Make Sense

For some clients, a monthly membership fee may seem significant at first glance. But when compared with common private-pay therapy rates in the Scottsdale and greater Phoenix area, weekly therapy can add up quickly. Membership offers a predictable monthly cost and a reserved weekly appointment along with a structured care model that includes supports beyond appointment time alone.

How membership works

Membership is designed to reserve a consistent weekly appointment time for clients who want structured, ongoing support. Membership is not a bank of sessions. It is a monthly commitment to a recurring therapy spot and the defined supports included in that level of care.

There is no long-term contract, and clients may stop membership at any time according to the practice's cancellation policy. Because appointment time is reserved in advance, missed, canceled, or unused sessions do not roll over into the next month.

  • Membership reserves a recurring weekly appointment — it is not a bank of sessions
  • Missed or canceled sessions do not carry forward
  • No long-term contract required
  • Clients may end membership at any time per the cancellation policy
