Families are billed on an ability to pay basis. No one is turned away due to an inability to pay.
The cost per one-hour session is $105.00. Families can pay out of pocket, on a sliding fee basis, or our organization can assist the family in obtaining a 100% community sponsorship. Some insurance companies may be willing to pay for the psychotherapy portion of services.

CHAPS uses horses in the counseling process offered to youth and families. Through the use of horses, counseling can be more interactive, less threatening, and more fun. As a result, change can occur much faster. Youth and their families enjoy their sessions, and are much more willing to attend and participate.
