Fees & Services
We accept credit cards, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Health Reimbursement Account (HRAs), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and CareCredit. Payment is due at the time of service. Sea Glass is considered an out of network provider.
Sea Glass is considered an out-of-network provider for ALL insurance companies and cannot bill insurance directly on your behalf. Your insurance company may still cover all, or a portion of, your therapy sessions with us. We can provide you with paperwork for you to seek reimbursement from your insurance company if you’d like. Our therapists’ fees vary based on their experience, training, and types of therapy they offer, and services provided.
Your first session as a client. We spend this session gathering history, understanding your symptoms, and exploring your goals. Intakes may include assessments, mental health screenings, diagnosis, formulating treatment plans, and providing appropriate referrals if needed. This session is required to be established as a Sea Glass client for ongoing therapy sessions.
50 minutes, $150 — $250
Ongoing work with one client is an individual session. We spend this time focusing on your goals and utilizing specific treatment techniques to help you get where you want to be.
If additional time is desired, we can extend weekly therapy sessions to 90 minutes. Longer sessions are beneficial for individuals doing weekly EMDR therapy, crisis sessions, or personal preference if you’d like more time and space to process.
50 minutes, $125 — $200
90 Minutes, $210 — $250
Couples therapy sessions are available as part of Christian sex therapy. We spend this time focusing on the couple’s goals and progress and utilize specific treatment techniques to help you reach your shared goals for improving emotional and physical intimacy. This may include Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, EMDR, sensate focus, or other modalities. We meet with couples for longer sessions to give ample time for both partners and move quicker through the therapeutic process.
90 minutes, $225 — $275
Gottman Assessments, $100
One day of Intensive EMDR is equivalent to months of traditional weekly therapy.
Our signature EMDR Intensives are priced as packages that include a 90 minute intake, intensive sessions scheduled in 3-hour increments, client workbook, customized grounding toolkit, exclusive resources, and 90 minute follow up session. Although the cost of EMDR Intensives is greater up front, it is the most cost-effective option in the long run. One intensive is equivalent to months of therapy, and research shows EMDR Intensives decrease overall treatment time. Price excludes initial 30 minute phone consultation.

Not all therapists have the same training, skills, lived experience, and personality. The relationship you have with your therapist is one of the most important factors for positive therapy outcomes. Finding the right therapist from the start can save you time, money, and emotional energy in the long run.
If a diagnosis is important to you, we can talk about that and see what best fits. However, not everyone meets criteria for a mental health diagnosis. Most of our clients don’t.
Unfortunately, insurance companies only cover mental health treatment for specific diagnoses and force therapists to give you a diagnosis even if there isn’t one, so they can get paid. YIKES! Having a formal mental health diagnosis on your record can negatively impact future professional, financial, healthcare, and other opportunities for you.
Just like you need a specialist for your various physical health concerns, you need a specialized mental health professional for your emotional and relational concerns. Without the barrier of insurance, you can find a highly specialized therapist that you feel good about working with.
People seek counseling for lots of valid reasons that are not covered by insurance: personal growth and exploration, emotional health and wellbeing, self care, preventative mental health care, improving relationships, improving sexual wellness, and more.
Insurance requires “medical necessity” for treatment and requires therapists to prove to them that they should cover your treatment. When your symptoms improve (and isn’t that the point?!) your insurance stops covering your mental healthcare.
Insurance companies use their own internal protocols to place limits on how much therapy you can receive, how often, for what diagnoses or conditions, and how long sessions can be.
They’re known for suddenly denying claims, changing coverage, underpaying therapists, and making profit-driven decisions that aren’t informed by any evidence or actual research about mental health treatment and what’s best for clients.
Your most private information is NOT guaranteed confidential by your insurance company. In order for claims to get processed, MANY people and departments are involved. Insurance companies routinely demand that therapists turn over client information to them to justify treatment.
You might not think about it, but therapists in private practice are small business owners too. SEA GLASS is proudly a woman-owned small business, and we are committed to providing therapy in a sustainable way, so that we’re here for you and your loved ones for the long haul.
When you seek therapy from an independent private practice, you are supporting therapists (not to mention your local economy) in an equitable, sustainable way.
You may obtain a Good Faith Estimate of our charges upon request prior to scheduling with your therapist at Sea Glass Counseling and Consultation.
The No Surprises Act is a federal law which provides you with the right to a good faith estimate of the cost of services at our practice. However, Ohio licensing board rules require us to provide you with the actual cost of our charges in a written informed consent form to which you must agree prior to our providing services. That will be available to you prior to you being seen for services and prior to any billing. In most cases, it is impossible to estimate how many sessions you will need, and that will not be determined until your concerns are evaluated and will also vary based on the progress that you make, which depends in part on your efforts with the process. You will be free to discontinue services at any time or the services may otherwise be terminated in accordance with the informed consent form language.
Although the No Surprises Act says that you may initiate a dispute process if the actual charges are substantially in excess of the Good Faith Estimated charges (i.e. if you are charged $400 more than the estimated cost for a session or for the total estimate provided), that is unlikely to happen and would be a violation of Ohio state licensing board rules, since you will be agreeing up front to actual charges per session prior to being seen. Dispute information is available upon request, however. Any changes to our fees will require a change in the informed consent form fees, which you must agree to prior to having them go into effect, otherwise the fees will remain in effect for 12 months.
Ohio Crime Victim Compensation Program
The Ohio Crime Victim Compensation Program reimburses qualifying victims for out-of-pocket expenses lost as a direct result of the victimization. If you or your family members are innocent victims of a violent crime, financial assistance may be available. This program pays for a wide range of expenses including medical counseling bills.
CareCredit
Get 6 or 12 months of deferred interest financing for Intensive EMDR sessions with CareCredit. If you already have a CareCredit line of credit, then you’re all set. Just let us know you want to use CareCredit before your first session. You may prequalify for CareCredit with no impact to your credit score.
