Pay for Therapy without Insurance

At Blanton-Peale we understand that not everyone has access to health insurance. To this end, we offer a modest fee using an income-based sliding scale. We require information related to sources of income, such as a copy of recent pay stubs, to determine the income-based sliding scale fee.

For the initial interviews, we have a set fee of:

Individual Initial Interview: $90
Couple or Family Initial Interview: $125

Mail

Email info@blantonpeale.org to learn about our sliding scale payment and if we can help you find care that works for you.
