Cost & Fees
At Chicago Psychoanalytic Treatment Center, we’re committed to making mental health care accessible and affordable.Our commitment to making mental health care accessible in Chicago is reflected in our flexible payment options. We work directly with several major insurance providers, including:
- BlueCross Blue Shield PPO
- Aetna PPO
- Cigna PPO
- BCBS Community Health Plan (a medicaid plan for Illinois residents)
For patients using insurance, we determine fees through collaboration with these providers. Your specific out-of-pocket costs will depend on your plan’s coverage for mental health services, including deductibles, copayments, and any coverage limits.
We understand that not everyone has insurance coverage. For self-paying patients, we offer a standard fee structure that can be adjusted using our sliding scale system. This scale takes into account your financial circumstances, helping to ensure that therapy remains accessible. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss these financial arrangements openly and help you understand all available options for managing treatment costs.
If you’re unsure about your insurance coverage or have questions about our fee structure, we encourage you to contact us. We’re committed to helping you understand your financial obligations before beginning treatment so you can focus on what matters most – your therapeutic journey.

About Chicago Psychoanalytic Treatment Center
Treatment Center therapists specialize in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, the first and most established form of talk therapy. These are unique forms of psychotherapy that foster personal development and liberation from dissatisfying or painful patterns of living.
Together, you and your therapist will work to understand the meaning of your emotional experiences, thoughts, dreams, memories, fantasies, and sensations with the objective of cultivating a more robust sense of self. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavioral patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life
Whether you’re looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you’re ready to move in a new direction in your life, our therapists look forward to working with you to transform suffering into growth.
