Thrive Therapy Houston Private Practice
Rates and Insurance: Transparent, Accessible Care
As a private practice, Thrive Therapy Houston is committed to providing high-quality, personalized care. We offer transparent information about our rates and accepted insurance plans to make planning your therapy journey easier. Whether you’re paying privately or through insurance, our goal is to ensure you feel supported every step of the way. Explore the details of our rates and insurance options below, and let us know if you have any questions.
Our Approach to Insurance: Simplifying Your Coverage Options
In order to provide the highest quality of care, we do not accept insurance at this time. Clients seeking reimbursement for therapy can be provided with a superbill (verification of services received) to submit to their insurance providers.
Something important to note: a diagnosis is required by an insurance company to render services medically necessary. If you are wanting to submit a superbill to your insurance company, we can address this during our session time.

Good Faith Estimate (GFE)
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, also called the “No Surprises Act”, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate, for the total expected cost of psychotherapy services. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
While this important requirement is primarily geared towards protecting patients from surprise out-of-network fees with hospitals, doctors, and testing, transparency is important to us and we do not ever want there to be surprises related to costs of service. Many clients will chose their own frequency of meeting and duration of treatment, so these numbers can be very variable. For most clients, an estimate of costs can be found using the equation:
Total Cost Estimate Yearly = (Cost per session)x(frequency of session per month x number of months in treatment)
For example: If you see your clinician for $150/session once a week for a year (not including holidays, time off, ect.) then your estimate would be 150x(4×12) = $7200 a year.
