Fees: The fees for services provided by the independent psychologists affiliated with PFPA are among the lowest in Atlanta. Why? One reason is that we share expenses and overhead so that we keep our costs as low as possible. Another reason is that we share a belief that psychological services should be as widely available as possible. For this reason, all of us are on at least some insurance panels and have a policy of using a “sliding scale” to make services easier to afford. Each of the independent psychologists affiliated with PFPA determines his or her fees, so feel free to discuss the fees with your psychologist.

Insurance: Do you have Insurance? If you do have insurance with mental health benefits, then some or all of the fees for our services may be covered. This is by no means a sure thing, however. If you find that a particular psychologist listed here is compatible with your needs, and you wish to use your insurance to help pay for the services, please call your insurance company and find out what they will pay for him or her. First, find out if he or she is “in network” and if so what your co-pay and deductible if any will be. If he or she is not in the network, it still might work out for you to use your insurance to see this person. Often insurance companies will pay a percentage of the fees for “out-of-network” providers, but at a lower rate than “in-network” provider. Check with your insurance company to find out what your deductible and percentage co-pay will be for this out-of-network psychologist. You can also choose to ask us to do this for you after your first session, but if you do this you will need to pay in full for that first session.

NO Insurance? We will work with you: Many of the psychologists affiliated with PFPA have sliding scale slots for people who do not have or do not wish to use insurance. Please contact the psychologist that you want to see and simply ask about discounts available for clients not using insurance.
