 There are several good options for therapists in the southwest Chicago suburbs.
You can expect to pay about $90-150 for a one-hour session, which is covered by many health insurance plans. Some practices offer sliding scale payment options where the fee would constitute a hardship. You and your therapist determine together how frequently you want to meet.
