Cost and Insurance

How Insurance Works
Start by using SonderMind's directory to find a therapist or psychiatry provider within your insurance network. You can narrow your filter to your provider, which is based on your insurance plan. Some plans like TriCare may take additional verification before determining if you qualify. Once you have set an appointment with a SonderMind provider, you will receive an initial quote about what you might pay for visits to local providers. There may be a copay for visits to local providers. Be sure to know what's covered and if there is any limit to the visits to follow.
Average Therapy Cost per Session
Therapy costs can vary depending on session length or whether you'll be using insurance to cover care. SonderMind offers affordable options, including self-pay rates and insurance coverage. Self-pay rates typically range from $89 to $200 per session.
Insurance Coverage for Therapy
SonderMind works with major insurance providers making therapy more accessible and affordable. Check with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage, including co-pays and deductibles.
