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.

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 income-based payments 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, we can provide superbills for medically necessary services for out-of-network insurance companies.

Deepen your understanding of Relational Cultural Theory through small group experience, learning the best way to learn RCT: in connection! One of the most unique aspects of your Learning Circle Membership is the option to join a Cohort Group. 

Intimate Learning Circle Cohort Groups!

Every Learning Circle Member has the option to sign up for a cohort group. We have.a group on the second Friday afternoon of every month, from 3-5:00 Eastern, starting July 10, 2026. This group is a continuation of the cohort started last year, and is ideal for clinicians who already have a solid understanding of Relational Cultural Therapy. You can apply to join it here.

Our other current Learning Circle Cohort group is the fourth Monday of each month from 11:00-1:00 Eastern. This group is perfect for someone just discovering RCT, but is also an excellent place for deep discussion of RCT concepts with people of varying levels of experience. You can apply to join the Monday group here.

If neither of those times work for you, please join our waiting list. As soon as our cohort groups fill up, and there are enough people to create a new group, we will add one! If we have enough local people in our "go local" add-on, we will even add an in-person cohort. 

While we also have our quarterly trainings, as well as some other bonus trainings and our two monthly consultations, we highly recommend signing up for a cohort. These learning groups offer opportunities to explore RCT concepts in our own lives, in our clinical lives, and in the real-time interactions we are having in the group.

What to expect

Each Learning Circle Cohort group will have a couple of specific RCT concepts, a small amount of explanation and visual aids, followed by discussion and questions. The group format is designed to attune to the needs of the participants and can be different each time.
