Before your first paid session
Understand EMDR fees and check your coverage
A free consultation is a place to ask about cost. It is not a commitment to start treatment.
What is free, and what needs a quote?
Achieve Growth Therapy advertises a free 15-minute consultation. Treatment sessions are separate. We do not publish a self-pay rate here because we have not confirmed a current, service-specific quote with the practice.
Ask for the full picture: the rate per session, expected session length, whether insurance applies, and any cancellation charge. Get those answers before your first paid appointment.

Please confirm your coverage with the practice before your first session. Plans vary, and your deductible or copay affects what you pay.
If you plan to use insurance
The practice lists in-network plans on its own website. Your exact plan, clinician, deductible and telehealth benefits determine what you owe. A plan name on a website is not confirmation that a particular member's session is covered.
- Check with the practice. Share your plan details through its own intake process, not this website. Ask whether the treating clinician is in network for your exact plan.
- Check your benefits. Ask the insurer about outpatient mental health visits by video while located in Florida, any authorization requirement, your deductible and your copay or coinsurance.
- Confirm the estimate. Before booking, ask how the practice handles claims and what you may owe if a claim is denied.
Self-pay and out-of-network questions
The EMDR page mentions self-pay, HSA/FSA payment and superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Ask the practice what applies to your appointment. A superbill does not guarantee that your plan will reimburse you.
Plan the course, not just one visit
The practice describes standard EMDR sessions of about 50 minutes, typically weekly at the start. Your clinician should explain the proposed frequency and review it as you go. The number of sessions cannot be quoted accurately from a website.
If a weekly expense is difficult, raise it early. Ask about a suitable schedule or a referral to a more affordable service rather than assuming a discount or payment plan is available.
A short checklist for the call
- What is my estimated cost for this clinician and this session format?
- Are longer sessions proposed, and are they billed differently?
- What is the cancellation policy?
- When will we review the treatment plan and frequency?
