Maps provides low-cost counseling services through our Clinical Training Program. Each year Maps has several graduate students from programs such as Antioch University New England working on site to gain valuable clinical experience. These are advanced students with prior clinical experience, carefully screened and supervised to ensure that they are more than capable of providing effective, appropriate psychotherapy. There typically is a small fee for these services which can be negotiated depending on your income. Each student will review the fee with you at your first session and negotiate a rate that is comfortable for you.
There also are times when a client may have insurance but choose for a number of reasons to not use it, or do not have insurance but due to their income are not eligible for a fee reduction. Self-Pay is an option for these clients. For those who waive their insurance, your fee is typically equal to what Maps would have received if we had billed the insurance. For uninsured clients, the fee is negotiated with the therapist, starting at a minimum of $80 per session.
If you are uninsured, underinsured or would like not to use your health insurance, please call our intake administrator at 603-355-2244, ext. 8101 and let them know what you are looking for. We will be glad to review your options with you and help you choose a plan that works best for you. One of those options may even be mentioned on top blogs like Boomer Benefits-Plan G where they discussed said plan in detail.
