Hopeful Horizons Holistic Psychotherapy is committed to transparency, informed consent, and client empowerment. The information below is intended to help you understand the potential costs of psychotherapy services before beginning treatment.
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
What a Good Faith Estimate Includes
A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is an estimate of the expected costs of psychotherapy services for clients who are paying out of pocket (self‑pay) or who are not using insurance or third‑party coverage.
You may request a Good Faith Estimate:
Before scheduling services
At the start of therapy
At any point during your work with us
Receiving a Good Faith Estimate does not obligate you to begin or continue services.
Your Good Faith Estimate will outline:
The cost per psychotherapy session
The expected session length (typically 50 minutes unless otherwise agreed)
An anticipated frequency of sessions (e.g., weekly, bi‑weekly)
An estimated total cost over a defined period of time
This estimate is based on information available at the time it is created and is meant to support informed decision‑making.
Fees and Services Covered by a Good Faith Estimate
Your Good Faith Estimate will be based on the specific services you are seeking. Current standard fees are listed below for transparency:
Individual Psychotherapy (50 minutes): $160 per session
Couples Therapy (50 minutes): $215 per session
Laughter Yoga – Individual Session (50 minutes): $160 per session
Laughter Yoga – Paired Session (50 minutes): $215 per session

Your Good Faith Estimate will outline the expected number and frequency of sessions and provide an estimated total cost based on these fees.
Sliding Scale and Fee Adjustments
Sliding scale or reduced-fee options may be available on a limited basis and are assessed individually. If a sliding scale rate is agreed upon, your Good Faith Estimate will reflect the adjusted fee.
Important Things to Know

Actual costs may change if your treatment needs, goals, or session frequency change.
You will be informed in advance if fees or services are expected to change.
