Therapy Services
Graduate clinicians provide confidential individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. Therapy is provided for depression, anxiety, trauma, behavior problems, relationship problems, stress, and any other area of concern. Couples counseling, family therapy, Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and group therapy services are also provided. Cost of therapy at AUPSC depends on family income, but typically ranges from $25 to $55 per fifty-minute session. Fees can be adjusted due to financial hardship on a case-by-case basis. AUPSC does not bill insurance.
All therapy clients are charged $75 for their initial intake appointment, which typically lasts two hours. If you would like to schedule an intake appointment, please call our receptionist at (334)844-4889. If the appointment is for a child under the age of 14, then the parent or guardian of the child must accompany the child to the intake session to consent for services.
