Self-Pay Fees for Standard Outpatient Services (once or twice weekly sessions)

Before entering a treatment program at the Center, patients first complete an extensive psychological evaluation with a clinician. This evaluation is approximately 90-minutes long and is essential to determine appropriateness and fit of our treatment programs to your specific needs. There is a standard fee for this initial evaluation, based on the credentials of the clinician. When scheduling the initial evaluation, we will do our best to accommodate your preference for level of clinician and best days/times for the appointment.

After the evaluation, the clinician will determine if treatment at the CTSA is appropriate for you and will determine the appropriate level of clinician and length/frequency of sessions in order to provide the best care possible. The fee per session is determined by these individual factors (see above). There is typically a wait between the initial evaluation and matching you with one of our clinicians. For more information about the Center's fees and wait times, please call us at 215-746-3327.
