Bristlecone Therapy rates vary by service. In general, individual/couple therapy and life coaching services cost between $175 - $250 per hour. Clinical supervision services range in cost between $120 - $200 per hour.

On a limited basis BCT does also offer a sliding fee scale for its services.

Bristlecone Therapy is only in-network with BlueCross BlueShield PPO plans.

This means that if you are receiving individual or couple therapy services through Bristlecone and you have a BCBS PPO plan, BCT will submit insurance claims directly to BCBS for services rendered. Your individual plan benefits will determine how much you are charged for each session.

Anyone who does not have a BCBS PPO plan will be required to pay out-of-pocket for BCT therapeutic services at an agreed upon self-pay rate for each session. That said, Bristlecone is able to provide superbills for clients to pursue out-of-network reimbursement from their non-BCBS insurance providers.

Bristlecone pines are ancient trees, sometimes living to be thousands of years old. They grow in small groves at high altitudes, often in windswept locations.

Like us, bristlecones fight to live well. Even when bent by the wind, they still strive to stand up. They are often found clustered together in pairs and trios and quartets, surviving and thriving in community. Their beauty is in their struggle, their scars and shape tell their stories. What an apt metaphor for our lives and relationships!

Absolutely! BCT offers both secure virtual appointments for life coaching and supervision as well as HIPAA-compliant telehealth services for individual and couple therapy. 

While we at BCT believe in the unique power of in-person interactions, we also understand that sometimes virtual appointments allow meetings to take place for clients who might not otherwise have access to therapy, coaching, or supervision services. Thus, we are very willing to accommodate clients who request virtual or telehealth appointments.

Starting the process of setting up an appointment with Bristlecone is easy! You may fill out our "Schedule an Appointment" form here, or you may call or email us to make an appointment request.

Broadly speaking, therapeutic services relate to the diagnosis and treatment of an individual's mental health and relational challenges. By contrast, life coaching services focus on identifying and realizing goals for one's future in light of his or her current life circumstances and relationships.

Said another way, therapy tends to center on resolving pains of the past impinging on one's present quality of life and relationships; coaching tends to address one's future aspirations, assisting clients to identify present barriers to realizing their goals as well as strategies for removing such roadblocks to success.

Of final note, clients seeking therapy with BCT must reside in Illinois. Clients interested in coaching services may be residents of any state or country.
