Quality Care Within Reach
At Shoreside Therapies, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care—regardless of financial circumstances. We understand that therapy can feel like a big investment, but we also know how life-changing it can be. That’s why we’re committed to providing affordable counseling services through a variety of options, including working with intern therapists, offering out-of-network benefits, and exploring sliding-scale rates.
If cost has been a barrier to seeking support, we’re here to help.
Low-Cost Therapy with Intern Therapists
One of the best ways to receive affordable counseling is by working with an intern therapist. These are graduate students completing their final clinical training under the supervision of experienced, fully licensed therapists.
Benefits of seeing an intern therapist:
✔️ Lower session fees – Interns provide therapy at a reduced rate, making mental health care more accessible.
✔️ High-quality, supervised care – Every intern is closely mentored by a licensed clinician, ensuring you receive thoughtful, ethical, and professional guidance.
✔️ Fresh insights & modern techniques – Interns are learning the latest evidence-based practices, offering new perspectives and creative approaches to therapy.
✔️ Flexible scheduling – Interns often have more availability, making it easier to find a time that works for you.
Intern therapy is a great option for:
- College students or young adults looking for cost-effective mental health care.
- Individuals facing financial constraints who still want to invest in their well-being.
- Anyone open to working with a compassionate, highly motivated therapist-in-training.
Using Insurance & Out-of-Network Benefits
At Shoreside Therapies, many of our licensed clinicians are out-of-network providers for insurance plans. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement on therapy costs.
🔹 How it works:
- We provide you with a superbill (detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance provider.
- You may receive reimbursement for a percentage of your session fees, depending on your plan.
- We’re happy to help you navigate this process and provide guidance on checking your coverage.
💡 Pro Tip: Call your insurance provider and ask about out-of-network mental health coverage. Many people are surprised to find they have benefits they didn’t know about!
Sliding-Scale Fees & Payment Options
Some of our therapists offer sliding-scale rates based on financial need. This allows for adjusted fees to ensure therapy remains accessible while still compensating therapists fairly.
💙 We believe in making mental health care a priority, not a luxury.
