SCC counselors are trained to counsel families, couples and individuals from childhood to adulthood. SCC counselors are trained in various treatment models and utilize a variety of different treatment styles depending on what works best for the client. ​Most of our counselors offer teletherapy in addition to in-person counseling. Some of the specialized treatment models offered by our therapists: Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for children, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Child Parent Psychotherapy, and Discernment Therapy.

The cost of a therapy session varies per therapist. Our licensed therapists charge $125- $130 for a typical 50-60 minute session and $165 for an intake session for self-pay clients. Our therapists who are under supervision for licensure offer a discounted hourly rate of $95 per session. Our graduate students work on an income based sliding scale as low as $25 per session.

Many clients have been able to use SCC therapists as Out-of-Network providers. Ultimately this is up to your Insurance Company. We are happy to give you a "superbill" to apply for out-of-network benefits. Please contact your insurance company directly and ask them the following questions: ​ “I’m hoping to meet with a therapist who is outside of my insurance network, and I will be paying them directly, $x per session. What are my out-of-network benefits? Specifically, how much of the $x will I be reimbursed through my plan?” ​ “The therapist will give me a Superbill (receipt) for my appointments; do you have a specific form I need to complete in addition to the Superbill in order to get reimbursed? Where do I send this form(s)?” ​ “How many days can I expect my reimbursement to take?” ​ “Will I be receiving a check or will the money be deposited into my bank account?” You may additional information here: https://www.choosingtherapy.com/superbill/

While we are primarily conducting our sessions in person at this time, all of our clinicians are able to provide virtual sessions for clients who are in Oklahoma. If clients physically leave the state we are legally disallowed from conducting virtual sessions. Please be aware that teletherapy is not a fit for all clients. Your therapist will discuss this with you after an initial assessment if they feel tele therapy would not be an ethical choice for your care.
