Fees & FAQ
Clear information before you begin.
Before anything starts, you should know how sessions work, how private pay and insurance differ, and what happens when you reach out.
Self-pay rates
- Initial 60-minute intake: $200
- Individual session (53–60 minutes): $175
- Extended professional session (75 minutes): $225
- Telehealth session (53 minutes): $175
Founding Client Rate: For the first ten clients, $150 per session for six months, then the standard fee. Limited discounted rates may be available for special circumstances.
Fee information is provided before the first appointment. Self-pay clients receive a Good Faith Estimate as required.
Free consultation
Before fees begin, you can book a free 15-minute consultation. It is a short conversation about fit and availability, not a therapy session.
Two payment paths
Private pay (cash-based): Pay the session fee directly. Many professionals choose this for steadier scheduling and fewer billing intermediaries. Private pay does not make records disappear and does not remove legal or ethical limits on confidentiality.
Insurance-backed platforms: In-network care may be available through Alma, Headway, Tava, BetterHelp, or Talkspace after credentialing is active on those doors. Your cost depends on your plan, deductible, and copay. Clinical fit still comes first. Coverage matching is part of private intake.

Out-of-network superbills
If you pay privately and want to seek out-of-network reimbursement, ask whether superbills can be provided. Reimbursement is never guaranteed. It depends on your plan.
Telehealth
Sessions are offered by secure telehealth for adults who are physically in Michigan at the time of the appointment.
Who is a good fit for this practice?
Physicians, nurses, therapists, counselors, attorneys, educators, executives, first responders, business owners, and other high-responsibility adults who want thoughtful, discreet therapy for pressure, anxiety, relationships, or a transition.
What is the clinician’s background?
Forty-five years in executive team building, including direct management and leadership of multimillion-dollar organizations, plus twenty-five years as a mental health counselor and therapist. Author of Warrior to Elder and other books. Clinical approaches often include MBSR and ACT when useful. More detail is on the About page and the Books page.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. The first consultation is a free 15-minute conversation about fit and availability. It is not a therapy session and does not start a clinical relationship.
What is the Founding Client Rate?
For the first ten clients, sessions are $150 each for six months, then the standard self-pay fee. Ask during the consultation if a spot is still available.
Do you take insurance and private pay?
Yes. Private pay is available now as the practice launches. Insurance-backed sessions may run through Alma, Headway, Tava, BetterHelp, or Talkspace once credentialing is live on those platforms. Match your carrier inside private intake.
How private is private-pay therapy?
Communication is handled carefully, and private pay can reduce some third-party involvement. Records still exist. Confidentiality has professional and legal exceptions, and those get explained before treatment begins.
Do you offer crisis services?
Stonecurrent is not a crisis service and does not provide emergency care. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact 988.
