Phoenix Center – An Outpatient Psychotherapy Center
We provide an outpatient level of care to our clients through our specialized trauma therapy. We are a non-residential center, a hospital, or an inpatient program.
There are different levels of care that provide higher levels of supervision and medical support which can be found in residential or inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), or intensive outpatient programs (IOP). Depending on your current needs and stability, you may need or benefit from a higher level of care than what we provide. Our clinicians can assess the appropriate level of care for you through an initial session.

How much do services cost?
Sessions range from 50-90 minutes given the specific treatment services and treatment goals. Cost can range anywhere from $100-$200 per 50-minute session. Our fees for a 50-minute or 90-minute session are specific to the clinician you are working with based on their level of licensure, education, and certification. Our therapists also have a number of sliding scale client sessions available. Fee prices will be discussed during your free 10-15 minute phone consultation.
Low-Cost Therapy with our Clinical Interns
The Phoenix Trauma Center’s mission is to provide quality services to our clients and high-quality education for professionals. We are invested in training the best experiential trauma therapists in the field. Our internship program allows us to fulfill both parts of our mission while also providing financially accessible services
We offer a reduced rate through our internship program. 50-minute therapy sessions start at $85 with a very flexible sliding scale if needed. Our graduate interns can work with you at any rate that you can afford.
Payment Accepted:
Cash, check, credit card or debit card.
We have a very secure online medical record system which can safely and securely keep your credit card info on file so that it can be conveniently charged after your sessions. The system we use is called SimplePractice, which uses encryption and security equivalent or better than most banks and financial institutions. They have received HITRUST Certification for their security protocols which is the industry gold-standard.
Do you accept insurance?
All of our clients pay out-of-pocket for services.
We are not in-network with any insurance companies.
Reach out to your insurance company to inquire if out-of-network psychotherapy services are reimbursed by your current plan and how much. Everything depends on your insurance plan and provider.

Can you prescribe me medicine?
No. There is a difference between a therapist and psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is able to prescribe medicine. Our team are all therapists, not psychiatrists and therefore cannot prescribe any type of medicine. We are happy to provide some referrals in your area if needed.

I’m ready to talk to someone at the Phoenix Center, how can I start?

Our intake coordinator will provide you with information about our practice, listen to your concerns and preferences, assess for level of care, provide information about available therapists and clinical interns, take your contact information, and connect you with someone on our team. If our services are full or do not meet the level of care you seek, our intake coordinator will provide you with referrals in other practices.
Once you and our intake coordinator discern which of our therapists might be the best fit for you, we will have that therapist or intern reach out to you to introduce themselves, learn more about you and your therapy goals, discuss fees, and schedule your first session.
Can you work with clients that live in New Jersey, Delaware or other states other than Pennsylvania?
Our therapists are licensed in Pennsylvania and are bound by state licensing rules. They are able to work with clients who are in Pennsylvania at the time of telehealth services. A few of our therapists do have licensure in other states, and can work on telehealth with folks in Delaware or New Jersey.
