Important Notice: Session Fee Update
Please be advised that, effective beginning January 1st, 2027 session fees at True North Psychological Services will be adjusted for the first time in nearly two years.
The updated rates are as follows:
- Initial Intake/Assessment$425
- Individual Therapy (45 minutes)$250
- Couples Therapy (60 minutes)$300
This adjustment reflects the ongoing costs associated with maintaining a private practice and my continued commitment to providing individualized, high-quality clinical care. We recognize that therapy represents a meaningful financial commitment. Clients experiencing financial hardship are welcome to contact me or your clinician privately to discuss available options.
For clients currently receiving sliding-scale or reduced-fee services, a 7% adjustment will also take effect on January 1st, 2027. This percentage-based approach allows adjustments to remain proportional to each client's existing rate.
When you log into the platform for your scheduled session, you should see a screen with instructions for making a payment. If this option isn't visible, please inform your counselor, and they will guide you through the payment process.
TNPS, LLC does not take insurance and we can not guarantee that you will receive reimbursement for our services.
Your counselor will provide you with invoices after each session and a “Superbill” at the end of the month. These can be emailed to you or you can access them through the client portal. If your insurance company has specific forms that need to be filled out let your counselor know and they will complete the form(s) for you ASAP.
We believe that mental health support should be accessible to everyone. True North Psychological Services offers flexible investment options to accommodate different financial situations.

To access your scheduled appointment, you can use the link in your “welcome” or session reminder email. Or, you can click on the link provided below. If you are still in need of assistance, please reach out to your assigned therapist.
First, ensure you have created a username and password. You can do this by clicking the link provided and clicking on “reset password”. A “Welcome” email with a link to set up your account was sent to you when you scheduled your first appointment. If you don't see it in your inbox, please check your junk or spam folder. If you still cannot locate the “Welcome” email or any “Session Reminder/Upcoming Session” emails, please contact your counselor via text, and they will resend the email for you.
If you know your email but our system does not accept your password, follow these steps:
- Click on reset password. When typing the password, please click on the “eye” icon to verify that you typed in the correct password (passwords are case-sensitive).
- Password is case sensitive, so if for example, one used a capital letter to create a password, but when trying to log in typed the capital letter as small, the system will not recognize it as the correct password.
- Don't enter/hit “space” before starting to type an email or password
- Make sure CAPS lock is not enabled
