Frequently Asked Questions

All staff therapists at Verdant Path Collective accept insurance. We are in-network with the following insurance plans:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Blue Choice PPO plans

• UnitedHealth Care plans, including most UMR employer plans

• Aetna PPO, HMO, and POS plans 

• Cigna PPO plans 

• University of Chicago Employee Plan (certain therapists only)

Before your first appointment, we encourage you to contact your insurance carrier to confirm that your therapist is in-network with your particular insurance plan. We submit claims to in-network providers as a courtesy to our clients. If an issue with a claim arises, it is the client's responsibility to contact their insurance provider. Your therapist can support you in contacting your insurance.

Our standard rate for a 53-minute session is $160.

No, but we will provide clients with superbills to submit to out-of-network insurance providers.

Each therapist has a limited number of sliding scale openings. Availability and fees are determined at the therapist’s discretion. If we are unable to accommodate sliding scale requests, we will provide you with referrals.

A flat cancellation fee of $85 will be applied if an appointment is canceled with less than 48 hours' notice. However, please note that this fee will be waived if you reschedule your appointment within the same business week. 

If an appointment is no-showed, a $100 fee will be charged. 

Our cancellation policies are designed to protect our therapists’ time and financial sustainability. Canceled appointments are not billable to insurance, and because space is reserved in the therapists’ schedules for recurring appointments, they are often unable to offer a missed appointment slot to another client on short notice.

A standard therapy session is 53 minutes. We strongly encourage meeting weekly to facilitate strong therapeutic collaboration with our clients. We believe change happens through building a deep, trusting relationship between client and therapist, and that less frequent contact reduces the capacity for that to occur.

Everything you share in session with your therapist is legally and ethically protected and will remain confidential. We utilize a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record and practice management software to ensure your information remains protected.

There are a few very specific situations that could require your therapist to break confidentiality, including if a client poses a danger to themself or others; if your therapist suspects child, dependent, or elder abuse; and if they are legally forced by court order.

Therapists are legally permitted to provide services only to clients physically located in the state where the therapist holds an active license. Some of our therapists are licensed in other states in addition to Illinois - please refer to therapist bios to see if the therapist you are interested in working with is licensed in and able to provide therapy to clients in that state.

Yes, our therapists offer both telehealth and in-person sessions at our Logan Square/Humboldt Park office.
