Self-Pay

Our “out-of-pocket” or “pay-what-you-can” services and sessions are based on a sliding scale. A sliding scale is a tool used to help create economic justice. The rest of this page will give you some more information to help determine what is an appropriate fee on the sliding scale for your circumstances.


If you do have insurance, please check with your provider to verify:

  • Out-of-network benefits associated with your policy
  • Reimbursement options for any out-of-pocket payments
  • Availability of HSA funds


Please see individual clinician bios for more information about their therapeutic modalities/perspectives, as well as standard pay rates and ranges. “Standard base rate” is determined by local rates for psychotherapy, clinician training/specializations, and experience. A “redistribution rate” is higher than the clinician’s standard base rate, which will help cover the costs of someone else’s therapy who may not be able to afford it. “Accessible range” is lower than the standard base rate, including pro bono sessions. 


Consider paying the clinician’s base rate or redistribution rate if you:

  • Own land or your own home (does not apply to Native or Indigenous folk)
  • travel recreationally
  • are able-bodied
  • work part-time or are unemployed by choice
  • can afford to take time off from work (for vacation or sick time)
  • regularly order take-out/go out to eat, buy new clothes, attend cultural and/or sporting events, etc.
  • own your own home
  • have investments, retirement accounts, and/or inherited money
  • have access to family money and other resources if needed
  • have a relatively high degree of earning power due to education, racial privilege, gender, socioeconomic class background, etc.


Consider paying an accessible rate if you:

  • are not always able to meet you/your family’s basic needs (food, shelter, essential clothing items)
  • rarely purchase new items because you are unable to afford them
  • are supporting children/other dependents
  • are a senior citizen with limited financial support
  • have experienced employment discrimination
  • have other medical expenses not covered by insurance
  • make under $18,000/year (not because you are working part-time by choice or in school) and have no other financial supports
  • are an unpaid community organizer

Victims Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP)

Did you know that in PA there is a funding program available to those who have been harmed by a crime in the state of PA?


The program is called VCAP and it can help pay for the expenses that come about as a result of having experienced a crime - including the cost of mental health therapy.


There are different requirements for those who have experienced sexual abuse/assault/other sex crimes:

  • The crime must have happened in the state of PA
  • The crime does NOT need to have ever been reported in order to get help paying for therapy
  • The crime does NOT need to be reported upon applying for VCAP
  • Your information is confidential
  • There is no statute of limitations on when you can apply
  • Those who were minors at the time are eligible for additional funds


For all crimes that are not of a sexual nature:

  • The crime must have happened in the state of PA
  • The crime does need to have been reported to the proper authorities or a protection order filed
  • The crime must have happened within 5 years
  • You lost at least $50 as a result of the crime


Applying VCAP is considered a victim-led process which means that the individual who experienced the crime is responsible for managing their application process with VCAP.


Therapists at Epifania Therapeutics are experienced in helping clients with the application process and are available to help walk you through it and make it as easy as possible for you.


If you believe you might be eligible and are interested in applying for VCAP to help pay for therapy, please reach out!


Visit https://www.pa.gov/services/pcv/apply-for-victims-compensation for more information on the program.

Please note:


Walk and talk therapy is self-pay only via cash, check, or credit card payment.


Teletherapy is covered by some insurance plans but not all. Please contact the member services number on the back of your insurance card to ask if your specific plan covers teletherapy services for outpatient mental health care.
