Affordable and Effective Mental Health Care
We strongly believe in the power of mental health care and are committed to helping you establish how best to afford and sustain treatment until your personal goals are met. If you are out of network we can provide billing for reimbursement from your insurance company, and in some cases, we offer sliding scale fees.

Sliding Scale &
Pro Bono Sessions
As a Northwestern University Clinical Training Site, Sound Mind Counseling is often able to offer sliding scale fees or even pro bono sessions to those who are open to working with our Clinical Interns. Clinical Interns are under direct supervision with our Senior Clinicians and provide an extremely high quality of care. This is a great option for those who are out of network or don’t have insurance coverage. Ask your Intake Co-ordinator for more information!
FAQ
Do you accept insurance?
Your well-being is our priority, and we want to make quality mental health care accessible to as many individuals as possible. To that end, Sound Mind Counseling accepts Blue Cross and Blue Shield, United, and Aetna PPO plans. If you are OON (out of network) we will bill your provider so that you might receive reimbursement for our services.
Note: Not all SMC providers are in network with United. Please discuss details with your Intake Co-ordinator.
How often will we meet?
Am I guaranteed privacy regarding issues I bring up in treatment, or regarding the fact that I’m in treatment at all?
Do you offer virtual as well as in-person appointments?
*Note Clients under 18 are encouraged to participate in-person.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require 24 hours’ notice for a cancelation or a $150 fee will be charged (this is not covered by insurance.)
Your opportunity for meaningful change
Reaching Out For Help Is Smart
If you’re here, something in your life isn’t quite right. Maybe it’s vague— you can’t relax and nothing much brings you pleasure anymore. Maybe it’s more specific— your job, your relationships, trauma, or chronic health issues.
At Sound Mind Counseling we are experts in unraveling what’s bothering you and finding real solutions. We’ll dig deep to root out old hurts, identify self-limiting beliefs, and pinpoint counterproductive behaviors to transform them into sources of personal strength.
The team at Sound Mind Counseling can help you build self-esteem, gain clarity and focus, resolve conflicts, learn skills to manage your mood, and create a vision for the future. Call today to get started
