Self-Pay Rates
At Thriving Rivers School Psychological & Educational Services, LLC, we believe that families deserve clear, transparent information about costs before committing to services.
​
Why Some Families Choose Self-Pay
Families may choose to pay privately for a variety of reasons, including:
-
Wanting a thorough, school-ready evaluation that goes beyond what the school can provide.
-
Needing faster access to testing or counseling than is available through school or insurance.
-
Preferring to keep evaluation results outside of the school or medical record unless they choose to share them.
​
Self-pay services allow us to work together flexibly and focus on what is best for the student and family.
