Supportive Care For Everyone
Our compassionate counselors offer personalized care for nearly a hundred mental health issues and treatment approaches.
Whether you are looking for a brief sanctuary from the pressure of daily life or long-term support, we are here to help you in every need.
The Advantages of Private Pay
At Therapy Austin, we offer sliding scale fees to make therapy more accessible, no matter your financial situation. With a variety of therapists to choose from, you’ll find someone who truly understands and can supports your needs.
Many people assume that private pay therapy is expensive, but it’s often more affordable than you think! Without the constraints of insurance, private pay therapy sessions can be tailored to fit both your needs and your budget. Here are some benefits of private pay:
More Control Over Treatment
Without insurance involvement, you and your therapist have the flexibility to tailor your sessions to what works best for you. No restrictions on session length, frequency, or treatment approach—just a plan designed around your unique needs.
More Timely Access to Care
Insurance processes can sometimes create delays, with lengthy intake procedures and challenges related to approval for care. By opting to privately invest in your therapeutic journey, you can skip the delays and get the care you need, when you need it.
Greater Privacy and Confidentiality
With private pay, your therapy remains entirely between you and your therapist, offering a higher level of confidentiality. This is especially important for those with sensitive issues or careers where privacy is essential.
Life’s Hard. Therapy Helps.
Austin’s a great city, but even in the best places, life gets complicated. Therapy helps you cut through the noise, find clarity, and build tools for a stronger tomorrow.
We are here to help you:

- Healing Past Wounds: Overcome childhood trauma, grief, and loss.
- Behavior & Relationships: Address eating struggles, anger, family dynamics, communication, and relationship issues.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Therapy Austin provides a comprehensive FAQ section to address common questions about their services.
Here’s a brief overview:
What is the cost per session?
Our Counselors provide services for $110-$200 per session. Newer Staff Counselors have availability at the lower end of the fee scale, while our Senior Counselors charge $150-$200 per session. We also have Low-Cost Counseling where clients can work with graduate students who are completing their mental health counseling education. The cost to work with a Counselor Intern is $65 per session, and you can find more information about that program here.
How do I pay?
Once you have spoken with a counselor and set up a first appointment, your counselor will send you a packet of client paperwork which will include the necessary instructions to put a credit card on file. Having a credit card on file is required, even if you typically pay for services with cash or check. If you want to pay for a session in cash or check, the session will have to be in person.
How do I get in touch with my counselor?
Your counselor will send you a confirmation email after you collaboratively schedule the first session. This email will contain their contact information. The best way to contact your counselor is to call their extension directly, or send an email.
Can I request therapy for someone other than myself?
No, the person who will be the client needs to fill out the request form themselves, and they will be the point of contact for setting up the sessions. You may aid someone in filling out the form, but ultimately the client will need to be the one to submit the form and discuss services with the counselor.
