Affordable Therapy — No Surprises

STLDBT attempts to make our services fit almost every budget. Although we accept some insurance plans (Aetna, UHC, Cigna/Evernorth), most clinicians and services are not in network.

  • A Quick Reality Check

    Insurance coverage for DBT varies widely. Even when coverage exists, it often comes with:

    • Session limits

    • High deductibles

    • Partial reimbursement

    Because of this, many clients choose self-pay for consistency and continuity of care.

    Insurance can be tricky and confusion. Contact us and we can help you determine what your benefits will and will not cover.

  • Insurance reimbursement often does not cover the true cost of providing comprehensive DBT-informed care. Components like skills classes and between session coaching calls are not approved expenses.

    Additionally, our therapists value their time with clients and researching best practices over spending hours on the phone fighting with insurance companies.

  • If your plan includes out-of-network benefits:

    • We provide a monthly superbill

    • You submit it to your insurance

    • Reimbursement (if approved) is sent directly to you

    Helpful note:
    Reimbursement amounts depend entirely on your plan, not the practice.

    You can do a quick check of your benefits here.

  • We believe access to care matters.

    A limited number of partial scholarships may be available for:

    • DBT skills groups

    • Short-term financial hardship

    Availability varies and is not guaranteed, but we encourage you to ask.

    Scholarships are set up for a limited period of time (typically 3 months) and renewal is based on progress toward goals, similar to academic scholarships.

  • Yes, pay using your credit card, HSA, or FSA account. Healthcare costs may be tax deductible. So, be sure to ask for your payment statements for additional savings.

You don’t need to figure this out alone.

We’re happy to talk through options and answer billing questions before you commit.
