Insurance & Fees
District Counseling provides mental health services for Individuals, Families, and Groups residing in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. We are a fully virtual private practice staffed by licensed professionals offering accessible, high-quality therapy services.
In-Network Insurance Providers
We currently accept Optum/UnitedHealth, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna & Aetna insurance.
If you are insured by one of the above providers, we will verify your coverage and submit claims on your behalf. As a courtesy, we confirm your insurance details prior to your second session. However, we also recommend calling your insurance provider directly to fully understand your coverage and any limitations.
Out-of-Network Benefits
District Counseling is considered out-of-network for all other insurance providers not listed above. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement of your session fees.
In this case:
- You will pay the full session fee of $150 at the time of service.
- We will provide you with a superbill (a detailed invoice) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider and asking:
- Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
- What is my out-of-network reimbursement rate?
- What is my annual deductible, and has it been met?
- How many sessions per year are covered?
- Are there restrictions on covered diagnoses?
Private Pay (Self-Pay) Options
Some clients choose to pay out-of-pocket to:
- Maintain privacy
- Avoid receiving a mental health diagnosis
- Gain flexibility in provider selection and service location
Private pay also allows for services like coaching, which do not require a mental health diagnosis or licensure and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Rates:
$150 – Individual Therapy Session
$200 – Couples / Family Therapy Session

Payment Methods:
All payments are due at the time of service. We accept Credit Cards, Debit Cards, HSA, and FSA.
All services are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Cancellations & No-Show Policy

If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment or do not attend your session, you will be charged a $50 no-show fee.
