JCAC'S Model: Making the First Step to Therapy Simple
JCAC is set apart because we are committed to in-depth, individualized care that allows space for deeper work.
So we can put care first, we believe...
- You should determine the pace of therapy based on your needs—not a pre-set plan determined by insurance companies.
- In seeing the whole person. Not every person needs a label or diagnosis to benefit from the depth work therapy can provide.
Because of these beliefs, JCAC Counseling is a self-pay practice and does not accept in-network insurance. This allows us to put care first while creating space for therapy that is individualized, not insurance-driven.
To remain accessible across incomes, we offer out-of-network reimbursement assistance through Thrizer, along with copay-matching through our clinical intern program.
Investment In Your Care
At JCACounseling, we offer multiple levels of care to ensure clients can find a therapeutic fit that aligns with both their clinical needs and financial circumstances.
Clinical Interns: Starting at $75 per session. Their first year of practice, supervised by 2 highly experienced counselors- so you get 3 counselors in one. Our interns stand apart because they only see 8-12 clients a week allowing you to see them weekly as needed. Also, they work nights and weekends allowing you to see them when most convenient.
Associate Licensed Therapists:
Starting at $145 per session. These counselors are in the first 3 years of their practice and are getting training in the speciality services. These counselors are on the cutting edge of the newest theory models and therapeutic practices.
Fully Licensed Therapists:
Starting at $160 per session. These counselors have 4+ years experience, have in depth training, and years of experience with the niche population.
Highly Specialized Clinicians:
Starting at $180 per session. These counselors are fully licensed, highly trained, and specialized in their areas of expertise. These clinicians you’re investing into provide meaningful, deeper therapeutic work—not just quick fixes. We help clients uncover root challenges, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and create lasting change.
Co-Pay Matching with Our JCAC Clinical Interns
At JCACounseling, we host 2–4 counseling interns each year with a dual mission: to provide our community with affordable access to quality mental health care and to help train the next generation of exceptional counselors.
Through our Co-Pay Matching Program, clients can work with an intern for approximately the cost of a typical insurance co-pay, making counseling more accessible without sacrificing quality of care.
While our interns are early in their professional careers, they receive extensive supervision, ongoing training, and support from our experienced clinical team. Unlike many insurance-based counseling settings, where therapists may carry caseloads of 30 or more clients each week, our interns intentionally maintain smaller caseloads—typically serving 10–12 clients weekly. This allows them to provide highly personalized care, offer greater scheduling flexibility, and build meaningful therapeutic relationships with the clients they serve.
Because we are a self-pay practice, clients also benefit from greater privacy and flexibility. We are able to avoid insurance-mandated diagnoses, treatment limitations, and authorization requirements that can sometimes create barriers to care.
For individuals, couples, and families seeking affordable, personalized counseling with evening and weekend availability, our internship program offers an exceptional opportunity to receive quality care while supporting the growth of future mental health professionals.
Insurance & Out of Network Benefits
Johns Creek & Alpharetta Counseling (JCAC) is an out-of-network (OON) therapy practice. We do not bill insurance directly. Clients are responsible for payment at the time of service.

Thrizer helps clients: - Verify out-of-network mental health benefits - Estimate potential reimbursement - Submit superbills to insurance after sessions
Clients pay Johns Creek & Alpharetta Counseling directly, and any approved reimbursement is sent directly to the client by their insurance company. Use of Thrizer is optional, and Thrizer may charge a separate fee. Insurance reimbursement is not guaranteed.
