Psychological Services Center
Fee Schedule
The fee for all UB students, faculty, and staff is $15/session. In order
to be accessible to everyone in the community, we offer reduced fees based on a
sliding scale. The actual fees charged are often the same as, or less than, the
cost of the co-pay for mental health treatment required by many insurance
companies.
We do not accept insurance at the PSC. However, this ensures
clients both greater privacy and greater control over the length of treatment.
Each client and therapist decide together how long treatment should continue,
rather than having an insurance company determining when services need to end.
To determine your fee for each 50-minute session, find
the row in the table below that indicates your family's total income and the
column that indicates the total number of people who live in your household.
Circle the fee where the appropriate row and column intersect. If you are a
student, you must base your fee determination on your parents' income unless
you are financially independent (i.e., your parents do not claim you as a
dependent on their income tax return).
If you have extenuating circumstances that you believe make it impossible
for you to pay your determined fee, please discuss your situation with your
clinician. Your clinician will consult with the director of the PSC (the
only person authorized to grant permission for further fee reductions) and
then contact you to let you know whether, and how much, your fee can be
reduced. Sliding fee schedule based on total family income (rows) and total
family size.
