Payment for Services
Payment for services is determined based on a sliding fee scale, dependent on family income and family size. Fees range from $5 to $45 per session, payable by cash, credit card or check at the time services are rendered. The fee for USM students is $5 and $20 for USM faculty and staff. There is an additional $10 fee for the initial appointment. Please talk with your therapist if your fee needs to be adjusted. No one will be refused services due to financial constraints.
Risks and Benefits of Therapy
While most clients report positive results as they make changes in their lives, some clients experience interruptions in normal patterns, feelings and relationships. These changes may add up to positive changes in the long run, but meanwhile, individuals, couples and families may feel discomfort and additional stress.
The Center for Family Therapy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran鈥檚 status or handicap in the delivery of services.
