Appointments and Payments

Many uninsured or underinsured people can find it challenging to pay for therapy in a time of confusing insurance plans (high deductible, PPO, etc). At the Bloomington Center for Connection (BCC), we are dedicated to providing high-quality mental health services with transparent and accessible pricing.

Understanding Your Therapy Options

Below you’ll find detailed information about our therapy services, along with payment and insurance coverage details.

  • Individual Therapy (Adult, Child, Adolescent)

Our Relational Services

We understand that not everyone uses or benefits from insurance when seeking therapy. If you’re looking for relational therapy that may not meet insurance definitions of “medically necessary”—or if you’re uninsured or underinsured, for example, a deductible you will probably never meet—we offer flexible options to make care more accessible.

This includes sliding scale sessions with our fully licensed therapists and opt-out discounts for those paying out-of-pocket. These discounts are available for services like relational therapy, relational groups, and other growth-based offerings that support connection and well-being, even if they fall outside traditional medical models.

Please reach out—we’re happy to help you find a path that fits your needs and your budget. If you choose to opt-out of insurance, but do not wish to use the sliding scale, our prices for a single session are $95.00.
