What care costs here, in full.

Step one

What therapy usually looks like

Every treatment plan is individualized around your goals, and you are never committed to a certain number of sessions. You may stop therapy at any time.

Child and teen therapy

Many children and teens begin with a plan shaped roughly like this:

Many families choose to continue past this point if they have additional goals or want ongoing support. We have found that starting with a plan helps families stay committed, measure progress, and work toward something specific, with a shared roadmap everyone can see.

Adult therapy

Adult therapy is individualized around your treatment goals. Most adults attend weekly or every other week. Your therapist will work with you to determine the frequency and length of treatment that fits your needs.

Step two

What each session costs

Private pay

Per session, depending on your therapist's level of training and experience.

Using insurance

If your therapist is in network with your plan, we are happy to bill your insurance for covered therapy services, including parent sessions when clinically appropriate.

Will I know what I owe before my first appointment?
Yes. Before your first appointment we verify your benefits and walk you through what your insurance company tells us, including your estimated copay, deductible, coinsurance, or other expected out of pocket costs.

If we are out of network with your plan

We can provide a superbill, an itemized receipt of your therapy sessions that includes the diagnosis and procedure codes your insurance company requires. You submit it to your plan yourself and they decide what, if anything, to reimburse you.

Whether you get money back depends entirely on your out of network benefits, your deductible, and your plan's rules. Some families are reimbursed a meaningful portion. Some are reimbursed nothing. We can produce the paperwork, but we cannot influence the outcome. It is worth calling the number on the back of your insurance card and asking what your out of network mental health benefit actually is before you assume either way.

A superbill cannot include the membership fee. The membership is not a medical service. It is an uncovered educational product, so there are no billable codes for it and no insurance plan will reimburse it. Plan for that fee as an out of pocket cost in every scenario except Medicaid.

Why you may see two charges for one week

Depending on your child's clinical needs, your therapist may recommend a plan that includes both a child therapy session, typically around 40 minutes, and a separate parent session, typically 15 to 20 minutes. These may happen the same day or on different days.

Because these are separate clinical services, we are required to bill them as separate encounters. If you are using insurance, your plan may apply a separate copay, deductible, or coinsurance to each one. We would rather you hear that here than see it on a statement.

Custody disputes and court involvement

We want to be direct about this before you begin. Rooted Rhythm provides therapy. We are not investigators, custody evaluators, or expert witnesses, and we do not take a side in a custody matter or make recommendations about parenting time. If that is the help you are looking for, you need a court appointed evaluator or a forensic professional, and we are glad to say so early rather than after your child has already started care.

If we are subpoenaed or otherwise pulled into a legal proceeding, that work falls outside of therapy and is billed at $250 per hour. That rate applies to all time involved, including record review and preparation, travel, waiting at the courthouse, testimony, and any related documentation. Court related time is not a covered service and cannot be billed to insurance.

If you ever have a question about your benefits or a bill, our team is glad to sit down and explain it.

Step three

The Rooted Rhythm membership

In addition to therapy sessions, every Rooted Rhythm client is also a member. This is a real, recurring cost, and it is the part families most want explained clearly.

The fee is per family, not per person. If more than one member of your household receives services here, you pay one membership fee.

We built the membership because lasting change happens between appointments as much as during them. Membership gives your household access to the Tuned In Institute, where the education and practice tools live.

Can insurance cover the membership?

No. The membership is educational and non medical. Because these services are not considered medically necessary healthcare, they cannot be billed to insurance, and they cannot be included on a superbill for out of network reimbursement either. There are no billable codes for an uncovered product. Plan for this as a separate monthly cost.

Financial assistance

We offer need based assistance on membership fees, because we do not want cost to be the only thing standing between a family and care. If money is a concern, tell us. We will talk through the options honestly.

Families using Medicaid

Families using Medicaid do not pay a membership fee. Not a reduced fee, not a partial one. The membership is fully scholarshipped, therapy is billed to Medicaid, and you have access to every resource listed above. Your total cost for care at Rooted Rhythm is $0.

Coverage

Insurance plans we currently accept

We are actively working to become in network with additional plans in every state we serve. If your plan is not listed above, it is not covered here today, and we will not tell you otherwise.

In progress

Credentialing timelines are set by the insurance companies, not by us, so we do not publish dates we cannot control. Here is an honest look at where things stand right now.

If you are waiting on one of these, call us. We can tell you where it actually stands that week, and we can talk about private pay or a start date in the meantime.
