The standard fee for a 50-minute individual therapy session is $100. The Clinic offers a sliding fee scale ranging from $10–$100 per session based on annual gross household income.
Initial intake appointments are provided at no cost. A limited number of $0 fee-waiver spaces may also be available for community clients experiencing significant financial hardship.

Psychological assessment fees generally range from $500–$3,500, depending on the type and scope of the evaluation and the individual needs of the client.
Clients are expected to provide at least 24 hours’ notice when canceling or rescheduling an appointment.
The first late cancellation or no-show fee is waived as a one-time courtesy. Subsequent appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice or missed without notice are subject to the Clinic’s cancellation/no-show fee.
Appointments canceled by your clinician or the Clinic will not result in a charge. Exceptions may be considered when emergencies or unexpected circumstances prevent you from attending or providing adequate notice.
Eligible Antioch University Seattle students and City University students may receive therapy services through the Clinic at no cost.
Antioch University PsyD students are not eligible to receive therapy services through the Clinic because PsyD students participate in the Clinic as student clinicians as part of their doctoral training.
Please contact the Clinic if you have questions about student eligibility.
No. The Clinic is a self-pay training clinic and does not accept or bill health insurance.
Clinic services are not billed using insurance-based CPT procedure codes, and we do not provide superbills for submission to insurance companies. Clients should not expect reimbursement for Clinic services through their health insurance plan.
Our sliding fee scale and other reduced-cost options are intended to help make services accessible without the use of insurance.
Your first therapy appointment is an initial intake and is provided at no cost. You will receive required client paperwork electronically, which must be completed before your intake appointment can be scheduled.
During the intake, a student clinician will learn more about what brings you to therapy, your relevant history, current concerns, and your goals for treatment. The intake helps the Clinic better understand your needs, determine whether our services are appropriate for the type of care you are seeking, and, when appropriate, inform your ongoing therapist assignment.
Completing an intake does not guarantee placement for ongoing therapy services. The intake provides an opportunity for the Clinic to more fully assess whether our services are an appropriate fit for your needs and whether we have the appropriate services and clinician availability to support you.
If your intake is conducted through telebehavioral health, you should plan to participate from a private location with a stable internet connection.
Not necessarily. The initial intake helps us better understand your needs and determine an appropriate student therapist match. Following your intake, you may be assigned to a different student therapist for ongoing services based on your clinical needs, scheduling availability, and current student clinician capacity.
Therapy is provided by pre-doctoral graduate student clinicians completing supervised clinical training at Antioch University Seattle. Student therapists work under the supervision of a licensed psychologist who provides ongoing clinical supervision throughout the student’s training experience.
Student therapists enter the Clinic with different levels and types of prior clinical experience. All student clinicians receive ongoing supervision from licensed psychologists and participate in additional clinical training as part of their graduate education.
Because the Clinic is a training environment, supervision and consultation are an integral part of the services we provide.
Not necessarily. Because our clinicians are graduate students completing time-limited clinical training experiences, student therapists eventually complete their Clinic placement.
Clients who wish to continue therapy may be transitioned to another student therapist when appropriate and when Clinic capacity allows. There may be a gap in services during student transitions, particularly between academic years (e.g., during the summer and early fall).
Returning clients may also be asked to complete updated paperwork and fee information as part of the Clinic’s annual returning-client process.
Yes. Depending on current Clinic services and clinician availability, individual therapy may be available in person or through telebehavioral health (TBH).
Telebehavioral health services are available to clients who are located in Washington State at the time of their appointment. Clients should have access to a private location, an internet-connected device with a camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection.
No. Psychological assessment appointments are conducted in person at the Clinic.
Clients should plan for the assessment process to take approximately three to four months, and some evaluations may take longer depending on the type and complexity of the evaluation, scheduling, records, testing needs, and supervisory review.
The process includes interviews and testing, scoring and interpretation, preparation and supervisory review of a comprehensive written report, and a feedback session.
The Clinic provides psychological and psychoeducational evaluations for adults age 18 and older, including evaluations related to ADHD, learning concerns such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, and some psychological and diagnostic questions.
The Clinic does not provide every type of psychological evaluation. If you are unsure whether we can address your particular referral question, please contact us for an initial screening.
People seek therapy for many different reasons, and individual experiences with therapy vary. Therapy can provide a space to better understand your concerns, develop new skills or perspectives, explore patterns in your life and relationships, and work toward personally meaningful goals.
Your initial intake provides an opportunity for you and the Clinic to determine whether our services may be an appropriate fit for what you are looking for.
