PRICING / FAQ

How does CFT work?

Curated Family Therapeutics specializes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Training, which is rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis. The clinicians you are paired with are experts in breaking down your daily actions and thoughts to create focused objectives that help to achieve goals and overcome the obstacles along the way. 

Upon an initial assessment, you will be paired with a licensed Behavior Analyst, whose expertise will help you define your life goals and create “action plans”, with daily or weekly “objectives”. These “action plans” will serve as your guide to creating long-lasting growth for yourself and/or loved ones.  We aim to make these actions plans completely tailored to your daily life – taking into account all aspects of what makes you…you (values, family, work, school, learning history, etc…). At CFT, we measure success in 3-month increments, creating consistent and steady progress towards long lasting health.

What makes us different?

Curated

·      Each “action plan” and daily “objective” is specific to your values, daily schedule, needs, long-term goals, and previous history of success.

 Visible Progress

·      Every week you will take a mental health score and measure your progress towards your goals which will be reviewed as a visual graph, and used to celebrate your success each month. 

Action Plan

·      While we take from many aspects of traditional talk therapy, our “action plans” focus on your daily behaviors (actions and thoughts) outside of 1-1 sessions. Within each “action plan”, we meet you where you are at, starting slow, building upon each success with new challenges each week.

 Diverse

·      At CFT, our team has 25 years of experience working with all members of the neurodiverse community. While the science we utilize can help to create success for anyone, our therapeutic history with populations who differ in various levels of independence, (with their mental and physical health), offers insights that not every therapeutic practice can provide.

 Accountability

·      Within each “action plan” we focus on developing the needed skills to hold each individual accountable. Additionally, we also have “accountability check in’s” via text, email, or phone call to ensure you’re working towards your goals in between in person sessions.

 Self-Management

·      While we love to support our clients at CFT, nothing makes us more satisfied than to see clients develop the needed skills and no longer need our service. You’re welcome to our service for as long as you’d like, but our goal is to always encourage self-dependence. 

How do you measure success?

Success is measured by the initial goals set by both the CFT team and client. Each long term goal will be broken down into weekly objectives. In addition to meeting goals, clients will also rate their mental health and give themselves a “Wellness Score” on a daily or weekly basis. Our goal is not for clients “Wellness Score” to be at 10/10 every week. Success is achieved when clients are able to maintain scores of 7 to 8 on average, even during the most challenging days or weeks.

Why Telehealth?

While we don’t exclusively see clients on Telehealth, it is the preferred option for most because telehealth allows for flexibility of scheduling and for us to meet our clients where they are most comfortable. You want to have session while you prep dinner? SURE! You want to have session from your bedroom? SURE! You want to have sessions from you car? SURE! Wherever you find a quiet space that allows to be open to addressing the challenges you face and become the best version of yourself, we want to have sessions there!

How much does each session cost?

Prices of session vary based on the individual client needs, goals, and household income. All services include an initial free consultation, in which we discuss more about our service and determine the appropriate pricing.

How long does your service usually last?

At CFT, we individualize our “action plans” in collaboration with the clients we work with. Each success story varies based on the needs and wants of each individual. At a minimum, each service requires a 6-month “action plan”. While some people may feel they no longer need our service after 6 months, others may need to continue for a few years or longer.

Am I allowed to cancel my service once I start, even if I don’t meet my goals? 

While we don’t anticipate you will want to cancel after seeing the progress you’ll make, we understand that our service is not for everyone. You are allowed to cancel your service at anytime. If we feel like you necessitate support, we are happy to refer you other trusted providers.

Why do I sign a contract? 

After your initial consultation, an agreed-upon price point, session dates, and additional details of the process will be set. Therapeutic service agreements are intended to make sure both parties (provider and client) remain safe and aware parameters and expectations of a therapeutic relationship.

How do I pay? 

We offer a variety of payment methods dependent on your agreed-upon service. Clients may choose to pay in weekly or monthly installments.
