Industry Standard Counseling Fees
The industry standard fee for counseling services is $90 – $120/session. Outreach’s low fee of $50/session is made possible by foundation grants and other funding received by Outreach. However, if there is a financial hardship and further financial assistance is required, a sliding scale fee is available for individuals who are eligible. These fees will only be applied to the following clients:
- Mt. Lebanon residents who have reached their 3rd session and beyond
- Non Mt. Lebanon residents starting with their first session.
