The cost of therapy in South Carolina can vary depending on the provider and type of service. On average, private online therapy sessions range from $75 to $150 per session, while initial assessments with a psychologist or specialized services may be higher. Many therapists offer sliding scale fees or accept insurance to help reduce out-of-pocket costs.

At Well Roots Counseling, we provide affordable online therapy options through our graduate-level counseling interns, with all sessions supervised by licensed clinicians. Our goal is to make quality mental health support accessible for women across South Carolina, including areas like Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, and Spartanburg.

At Well Roots Counseling, we choose not to accept insurance so we can provide the highest level of personalized and confidential care. Insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis, detailed session notes, and ongoing documentation in order to authorize treatment. These requirements significantly limit your privacy and often restrict the type, length, and frequency of therapy.

A formal diagnosis is only given when clinically appropriate and ethically supported by adequate assessment. Since we do not accept insurance and do not provide insurance-related documentation, we are not required to assign diagnoses for clients who prefer not to have one on record.

Many clients choose private-pay therapy specifically to avoid receiving a diagnosis that could remain in their permanent health record or be shared between insurance companies.

If a diagnosis is needed for medical or psychiatric coordination of care, we discuss that on a case-by-case basis to ensure accuracy and ethical practice.

By remaining private pay, we are able to:

• Protect your confidentiality

• Tailor treatment without insurance-imposed limitations

• Focus on your needs—not on meeting insurance company criteria

• Avoid labeling clients with diagnoses that may not be clinically appropriate or desired

This allows us to offer a therapeutic space that is flexible, client-centered, and fully confidential.

Superbills function as insurance reimbursement documents and require us to assign a formal mental health diagnosis and include specific codes and clinical information. Because we do not diagnose for insurance purposes and do not participate in insurance reimbursement processes, we do not generate superbills.

Instead, we provide:

• Itemized receipts for payment

• The ability to use HSA or FSA cards (when discussed during the intake process)

This approach protects client privacy and maintains the integrity of our private-pay, diagnosis-optional practice structure.

However, it's important to note that Well Roots Counseling does not accept insurance. Instead, we offer affordable online therapy options through our graduate-level counseling interns, all supervised by licensed clinicians. This approach allows us to provide compassionate, high-quality care at a reduced rate, making mental health support accessible for women across South Carolina.
