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.

Couples and relationship work

Couples Therapy · 55–60 minutes

An hour-long shared session for couples who want help with communication, repair, transition, or connection. Couples therapy may be self-pay without assigning either partner a mental-health diagnosis. Insurance may be possible after assessment when one partner is the identified client, a mental-health condition is being treated, and including the partner is clinically necessary. Available in person in Bloomington or by Indiana telehealth.

Extended Relational Sessions · 75–90 minutes

Private-pay relationship counseling—not psychotherapy—with enough room to slow a pattern down, hear what is underneath it, and practice something different. We reserve 90 minutes and may finish around 75 minutes when the work reaches a natural resting place. Available for couples and adult families.

Relational Intensives · 2–3 hours

Private-pay relationship counseling in a larger container for work that benefits from sustained attention, experiential practice, breaks, and return.

Explore all three formats on our Couples & Relationship Work page. Current rates and any reduced-fee availability will be explained before scheduling.
