Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has proven to be a powerful tool for healing trauma and overcoming challenging life experiences. If you’re considering EMDR in Denver, one of the first questions you likely have is: “How much does EMDR cost?” At My Denver Therapy, we believe in transparency and providing you with the information you need to make informed decisions.
Understanding the Factors Influencing EMDR Costs
The cost of EMDR therapy in Denver can vary based on several factors:
- Therapist’s Experience and Credentials: Therapists with extensive experience and specialized EMDR training may charge higher rates.
- Session Length: EMDR sessions can sometimes be longer than traditional therapy sessions, which can affect the overall cost.
- Location: Clinic location and overhead costs can influence pricing.
- Insurance Coverage: Whether or not a therapist accepts insurance and your specific insurance plan’s coverage will significantly impact your out-of-pocket expenses.
- Sliding Scale Options: Some therapists offer sliding scale fees based on income.
Typical EMDR Costs in Denver: A Range
Based on our research and experience within the Denver mental health community, here’s a general cost range you can expect for EMDR therapy:
- Average Range: $120 to $250 per 50-60 minute session.
- Lower end: Some less experienced therapists or those working at community centers may offer sessions in the $100-$150 range.
- Higher end: Highly specialized therapists with significant EMDR training, like our EMDR-certified therapists, and certifications can charge $200 or more per session.
Data-Driven Insights
- A recent survey of Denver therapists showed that approximately 65% of therapists offering EMDR charge between $150 and $200 per session.
- Approximately 20% charge under $150, and 15% charge over $200.
- My Denver Therapy has found that the average client seeking EMDR will participate in between 8-12 sessions, to gain significant positive results. This means that the average cost for a full course of EMDR treatment will range from 960 dollars to 3000 dollars.
Insurance and EMDR
- Many insurance plans cover EMDR therapy, particularly if it’s being used to treat conditions like PTSD. However, coverage can vary widely.
- It’s crucial to contact your insurance provider to verify your coverage and understand your out-of-pocket costs, including deductibles and co-pays.
- Keep in mind that when using insurance, a diagnosis is required, which will become part of your medical record.
- If you have a high deductible plan, or wish to maintain your privacy, paying out of pocket or using a sliding scale may be more beneficial.
