Are You and Your Partner Ready to Invest in Your Relationship and Family’s Well-being?
Payment Policy
At ForwardUs Counseling is a fee-for-service practice. We are committed to providing personalized, high-quality mental healthcare that prioritizes the unique needs of our clients, rather than being driven by the demands of insurance companies.
We are not able to accept payment in a year-long supply of strawberry rhubarb pie or peach cobbler (as good as it is), so that option is off the table.
Why Only Accept Private Pay and Not Insurance?
Privacy & Confidentiality:Private information is shared with insurance companies under new privacy and health policies, but mental health records at ForwardUs Counseling remain confidential and are not disclosed to insurance.
Protection: Insurance companies focus on profit, not people: they, not you, decide how many sessions are appropriate for your treatment. Claims made can limit future insurance coverage or even inhibit certain employment opportunities.
Specialized: While it is certainly helpful to have a few sessions covered by insurance, the highly specialized areas we work in are not compatible with the medical insurance model.
Greater Support: More opportunities for sessions compared to what insurance typically covers
Less Hassle: Work with a specialized provider of your choice and not be bound by “in-network” or “out-of-network” requirements.

At ForwardUs Counseling, payment is expected at the time of appointment. We accept checks, all major credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp and most HSA/FSA cards.
We require an active credit card to be kept on file. ForwardUs Counseling will request your credit card information upon the initiation of counseling. Towards convenience, this form provides ongoing authorization for ForwardUs Counseling to securely store and charge your card upon each session thus reducing the need to pull out your card each session.
If your insurance provides out-of-network coverage for services, you could be reimbursed anywhere from 50%-80% of each session cost. Services are paid by you as an out-of-pocket expense and then reimbursements are made directly to you by your insurance company if you have out-of-network coverage.
What Payment Methods Does ForwardUs Counseling Accept?
No-Show/Late Cancellation Policy
You and your partner will benefit most from therapy when you attend sessions as scheduled.
We ask that you provide at least a 48 hours notice when rescheduling or canceling a session. You will be responsible for the full fee for late cancellations or “no shows”.
We understand that you may need to cancel an appointment occasionally. In such circumstances, please contact us no later than 48 hours before your scheduled session time.
No-show fees are the patient’s sole responsibility and must be paid in full before your next appointment. If the no-show fee might prevent you from receiving necessary care, please contact us.
If our office must cancel your appointment with less than 48 hours notice, you may choose to reschedule or to cancel. In these circumstances, there will be no cancellation fee charged to you.
If you have questions about our cancellation policy, please let us know.
