Therapy at Salam Therapy is priced to be as transparent and affordable as possible. In Indiana and Kentucky, we accept most major health‑insurance plans, out‑of‑network benefits, and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Our Rates list the exact self‑pay fees for each type of service, and you can contact us for a personalized estimate based on your insurance coverage. You can also receive a detailed superbill after each session, which you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement. In every case, we strive to keep out‑of‑pocket costs low while maintaining the highest quality of care.

Very likely! We partner with a wide variety of insurance carriers/plans in Indiana and Kentucky, and accept Medicaid. If your plan is out‑of‑network, we’ll still provide a detailed superbill for you to submit for reimbursement. While we’ll do our best to verify coverage on our end, the most reliable way to confirm your benefits is to contact your insurance provider directly. Reach out to us if you have any insurance or pricing questions.

If your insurance plan includes a deductible that has not yet been satisfied, you will be responsible for paying the full session fee at the time of service, just as you would for any other medical appointment. To help clients with high‑deductible plans, we offer a reduced‑rate self‑pay option staffed by resident therapists who provide the same evidence‑based care at a lower cost. This flexible pricing ensures that financial barriers do not prevent you from receiving the support you deserve.

Absolutely. If you prefer to handle payments yourself despite our in‑network status, simply sign an Insurance Opt‑Out Form before your first session. This form releases us from filing claims on your behalf and allows you to pay the agreed‑upon self‑pay rate. Should you later decide to use your insurance, you can complete an Opt‑In Form and we will resume billing your insurer. This flexibility lets you choose the payment method that best fits your financial situation and peace of mind.

Therapy at Salam Therapy goes far beyond casual conversation. Each session is goal‑oriented and grounded in evidence‑based techniques that promote real change. We listen attentively, validate your experiences, and then collaboratively set clear, measurable milestones. Between sessions, we may assign brief exercises or coping strategies designed to reinforce progress. By combining empathetic dialogue with actionable steps, we help you build lasting skills that translate into everyday life.

While friends, family, and community are vital sources of support, a licensed therapist offers a confidential, neutral space to explore issues that may feel too personal or overwhelming to share elsewhere. Therapy equips you with scientifically validated tools to identify and interrupt harmful patterns, manage stress, and develop healthier relationships. Even if you feel capable now, working with a professional can accelerate growth, prevent future crises, and provide a roadmap for navigating life’s inevitable challenges.

Your initial appointment lasts 60 minutes and is designed to lay a solid foundation for your therapeutic journey. We begin by creating a warm, safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story. A thorough intake assessment follows, covering your background, presenting concerns, and any relevant medical or cultural factors. Together we clarify your goals for therapy and discuss logistical details such as session frequency, confidentiality, and payment options. You’ll also have ample opportunity to ask questions about our approach, policies, or anything else on your mind.

The endpoint of therapy is individualized. Some clients achieve meaningful relief after just one or two sessions, while others benefit from a longer course of treatment. On average, most people find 6–12 months of regular sessions sufficient to consolidate new skills and sustain progress. Throughout treatment, we regularly review your goals and assess whether you feel confident applying what you’ve learned independently. When you and your therapist agree that you have met your objectives and feel prepared to continue thriving on your own, we conclude the formal therapeutic relationship.

Frequency is determined collaboratively after your intake, taking into account the intensity of your symptoms, diagnostic considerations, preferred therapeutic modality, and your personal schedule. Some clients start with weekly appointments to establish momentum, while others may move to bi‑weekly or monthly sessions once stability is achieved. Your therapist will tailor the cadence to maximize effectiveness while respecting your time and financial constraints.

Our standard therapy appointments are 53 minutes in length, providing focused time for intervention and skill practice. The first intake session is extended to 60 minutes to allow for a comprehensive assessment and to address any administrative questions you may have.

We value both your time and that of our clinicians. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Doing so allows us to offer the slot to another client who may be waiting for care. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be billed at half the standard session rate, reflecting the lost opportunity for another individual to receive timely therapy.

Salam Therapy proudly serves a diverse clientele, including adolescents, teenagers, adults, and seniors (65+). Our therapists are trained in multicultural competence, ensuring that cultural, linguistic, and identity‑related factors are respected and integrated into treatment planning.

Everything you disclose in therapy is strictly confidential, aligning with HIPAA, PHI, and professional ethical standards. Confidentiality is maintained except in three limited circumstances: (1) if you pose an imminent risk of serious harm to yourself or others, (2) if there is suspected child or elder abuse, or (3) when a court issues a lawful subpoena. In those rare cases, we will discuss the situation with you and take the necessary legal steps while striving to protect your privacy as much as possible.
