The Center for Relational Care is considered “out of network” for all insurance companies.
Depending on what your out of network coverage provides, your insurance company may reimburse for sessions you have paid for. We suggest that you contact your insurance provider for more information on eligibility. Since all of this is done through your insurance, CRC can not guarantee any reimbursement.
Our well-trained graduate student interns and post graduate interns offer counseling services at lower rates.
You can also apply for “special needs” financial assistance if you have a hardship. Let your counselor or the Intake Coordinator know if a lower fee is needed.
CRC counselors are not typically available for walk-in appointments.

Yes, our main office is located across the hall from the building elevator. Our other office locations are located on the ground floor and thus wheelchair accessible.
For the first appointment, we recommend scheduling an hour and a half. This ensures that you have enough time to go over paperwork, talk about your goals for counseling, and develop a treatment plan with your counselor.
Before the appointment, you will be asked to complete Intake paperwork. Payment is collected at check-in.
Your counselor will begin by getting to know you in order to define your current counseling needs and partner with you to develop a plan that serves you. Together you may determine that your needs are more immediate and short term, but sometimes longer term patterns and experiences are surfaced which may require longer term work. Regardless, your counselor will seek to collaborate to determine what best serves you.
Psychological evaluations are provided by licensed clinical psychologists and psychiatric medication prescriptions are provided by medical doctors. Neither are part of CRC’s staff of counselors.
