Insurance and Payment

Welcome to Bright Potential Counseling – Affordable and Accessible Therapy

At Bright Potential Counseling, we believe that mental health care should be accessible to everyone. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other mental health challenge, we are here to support you on your journey to healing. We are proud to offer a variety of affordable payment options to ensure that you can access the care you need, regardless of your financial situation.

Insurance We Accept

We understand the importance of making therapy affordable, which is why we are pleased to accept a wide range of insurance providers. If you're covered by one of the following health insurance plans, you can access high-quality therapy without worrying about out-of-pocket expenses:

• Aetna

• Blue Cross Blue Shield

• United Healthcare/Optum/UMR/United Healthcare Student Resources

If you're unsure whether we accept your specific insurance plan, please reach out to us and let us know what plan you have. We will be able to give you some preliminary information. To be certain about coverage, we encourage new clients to call their insurance provider to confirm that Lisa Shows, LPC is in network.

Affordable Therapy with Our Intern Counselor

At Bright Potential Counseling, we also offer therapy sessions with our intern counselor at a special, reduced rate of $40 per session. Our intern is a graduate student in counseling, supervised by one of our licensed therapists. This is a great option if you're looking for affordable therapy and still want professional guidance and support in your healing process. Rest assured, our intern is committed to providing compassionate care and is overseen by experienced, licensed clinicians to ensure a high standard of care.

Private Pay Rates for Licensed Therapists

For those who prefer to pay privately or are seeking therapy outside of their insurance network, we offer therapy with our licensed therapists at a rate of $120 per session. Our licensed therapists are highly trained and specialize in various areas of mental health, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. We believe in offering therapy that fits your needs and goals, and our private pay option ensures that you can access top-quality care without relying on insurance.

We Also Accept HSA Cards

In addition to traditional payment methods, we also accept Health Savings Account (HSA) cards. Using your HSA for therapy can be a great way to take advantage of your pre-tax savings while investing in your mental well-being. If you have an HSA card, you can easily use it to cover your therapy sessions at Bright Potential Counseling.
