Insurance
Out-of-network. By design.
Areale Counseling & Wellness is a self-pay and out-of-network provider. This is a deliberate choice — one that protects your confidentiality and preserves the integrity of the therapeutic relationship.
When insurance is involved, a psychiatric diagnosis must be entered into your permanent medical record before treatment can proceed. Insurance companies then determine the type of therapy approved, the duration of treatment, and the number of sessions covered — decisions that belong in the consulting room, not with a third-party payer.
Working with an out-of-network provider means that the clinical decisions are made between you and your therapist — and nowhere else.
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, your insurance provider may cover a meaningful portion of session costs after your annual deductible is met. Our billing team will verify your benefits and provide a clear estimate of your out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment.

Reduced-fee sessions
Access to depth work should not depend solely on financial means.
Each month, Areale Counseling & Wellness sets aside a small number of reduced-fee sessions for individuals experiencing genuine financial hardship. These sessions are limited and allocated on a case-by-case basis.
If you are experiencing financial difficulty and are seeking depth-oriented psychotherapy, we encourage you to reach out. Please call us at (917) 905-4463 or use our contact form to enquire about current availability.
“The purpose of the healer is not to impose healing on people, but to call people into the healing that is already within them.”
