We want every child who needs mental health care to have it

Our services are covered under several health plans with a variety of insurance providers. We offer superbills to people who choose to pay out of pocket. Families can also plan and pay with HSA/FSA funds.

Self-pay details

Our pricing is transparent. HSA/FSA funds can be used for all services. And we are happy to provide monthly or weekly superbills for you to submit to your insurance.

Estimated average costs after insurance

Every insurance plan is different. What you pay depends on your provider, plan, deductible, copay, coinsurance, and whether your deductible has been met. The figures shown here are estimates for general guidance only. Call us to help estimate your costs.

Based on claims from May 2025–May 2026, families with in-network coverage on average paid the following per visit* after their deductible was met:

  • Therapy: average cost is $33 per session

  • Psychiatry: average cost is $38 per session

  • Psychological testing: average cost is $42 per session



* These figures are averages based on Brightline in-network commercial claims from May 2025–May 2026 and are provided for general guidance only. Your actual cost may be higher or lower depending on your plan, deductible, copay, coinsurance, and coverage status. Patients with high-deductible plans, unmet deductibles, out-of-network coverage, or non-covered services may pay more. These figures are not a quote or guarantee of your cost.

  • After your first appointment, we'll send you a secure link to set up billing. It only takes a minute and your information is fully protected. We’ll notify you by email to let you know when your insurance claim has been processed, what the charge amount will be (if any), and the timing of the payment (usually five business days).

  • When insurance processes the claim on their end — which may take up to 45–60 days — whatever isn’t covered willed be billed to you. 

  • If you are paying out of pocket, you will be charged once your child’s clinician puts their after-visit notes into our system. This lets us know the appointment has taken place and usually happens within about three days. 

  • If you are paying out of pocket and need a superbill, we can provide one at any time — either by request or on a regular monthly basis.
