Therapy Group of DC
You’re Here Because Something Matters. Let’s Make the Cost Part Easy.
Most of our clients get back a significant portion of each session’s cost through their health insurance — and we handle the paperwork so you don’t have to.
What Therapy Actually Costs Most of Our Clients
If you have health insurance through a DC employer, there’s a good chance you’ll get back most of what you pay for each session.
Choosing to work with a therapist is one of the most meaningful investments you can make — because the things that bring people here matter too much to leave unaddressed.
Why does reimbursement work this way? We’re an out-of-network practice, which means you pay for each session upfront and your insurance reimburses you afterward. It’s how most DC employer plans work with specialized providers — and most people have this coverage, even if they don’t realize it.
We Handle the Insurance Part
At most therapy practices, the insurance paperwork falls on you. We don’t think that’s a good experience — especially when you’re already dealing with something hard enough to seek help for.
We’ve been handling insurance claims on behalf of our clients for over ten years. It’s one of the small things that reflects how we think about care — the experience around therapy matters, not just the hour itself.
Current Session Rates
Our rates reflect the experience and advanced training of our clinical team. Your therapist’s specific fee is confirmed when you schedule.
Varies by therapist
Varies by therapist
Most clients get back 50–80% of these fees through their insurance — so your actual cost per session is typically much lower than the numbers above.
For context: Fair Health, the independent nonprofit used across the insurance industry to benchmark costs, puts a 45-minute individual therapy session in DC at $262 and a 50-minute couples session at $300.
For over a decade, our Capital Therapy Project has connected hundreds of individuals and couples with high-quality therapy at significantly reduced rates. It pairs you with advanced clinicians completing their doctoral training — supervised by our senior staff — at a fraction of our standard fees.
It’s one of Washington’s premier clinical training programs, and an excellent option if cost is a deciding factor for you.
One Quick Phone Call to Know Your Cost
There’s one thing we can’t do for you — insurance companies will only share your benefit details directly with you. But we can make that call as painless as possible. Here’s exactly what to say. Most people are done in five minutes.
