At Well Roots Counseling, the cost of online therapy in Vermont typically ranges from $120 to $150 per session, depending on the provider’s specialization and experience. While we do not accept insurance, we do accept HSA and FSA payments, and we’re happy to help you explore what works best for your budget. Many clients find that online therapy offers greater flexibility without sacrificing the quality of care.

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.

At Well Roots Counseling, we don’t offer free sessions as part of our standard services. However, we do provide a complimentary 20-minute consultation to help you get to know a therapist and see if it feels like a good fit. Sessions beyond that are paid but can be covered using HSA or FSA funds.

At Well Roots Counseling in Vermont, we do not bill insurance directly. While online therapy isn't covered by insurance, you can use HSA or FSA funds to cover session fees. This allows you to access care with greater confidentiality, flexibility, and without insurance restrictions—so you can focus fully on your healing journey.

At Well Roots Counseling, therapy for women creates space to explore the experiences and challenges that many women carry — often quietly and without support. While general counseling may cover a broad range of concerns, therapy tailored specifically for women focuses on areas like fertility struggles, pregnancy and postpartum transitions, motherhood, relationships, identity shifts, and the emotional weight that can come from trying to do it all. It’s a space where your story is seen, your feelings are valid, and you don’t have to hold it all alone.

Our work is centered on understanding how life transitions, trauma, and emotional overwhelm can impact well-being. We create space for women to show up honestly, without judgment, and explore the things that often go unspoken. Whether you’re navigating career stress, parenting, grief, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, we offer support that honors your lived experience.
