Our Approach to Fees


At Mainely Therapy, we value making mental health care as accessible as possible. We recognize that cost can be a barrier—and we are committed to reducing that burden where we can. At the same time, we are a small practice with licensed professionals who are doing meaningful, emotionally demanding work. We strive to balance these truths: offering thoughtful, quality care while also sustaining the livelihood of the therapists providing it. We offer a range of fees and are happy to talk with you about what might be possible.

Good Faith Estimate Notice


In accordance with the No Surprises Act, clients who do not have insurance or who choose not to use insurance are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) outlining the expected costs of their care.

You have the right to receive a GFE before services begin. If your bill is at least $400 more than the estimate, you may dispute the charges.
