Investing in therapy = investing in you.
Whether you’re paying out-of-pocket or with insurance, we have personalized options to meet you where you are.
Therapy is one of the most meaningful investments you can make and we want the money part to feel as clear and low-stress as possible.
Third Wave accepts insurance and offers private-pay options at all four locations across Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Garner, with the same options available for telehealth clients throughout North Carolina.
estimated costs
Most therapy sessions at Third Wave range from $150–$300+, depending on your clinician's experience level and the type of support you're looking for. We offer three tiers of care so you can find the right fit for both your goals and your budget.
In-Network Practice and Insurance Partners
Third Wave currently accepts Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Many of our therapists are in-network, and we'll verify your benefits and file claims on your behalf whenever possible.
If you're out-of-network, we can provide documentation for potential reimbursement depending on your plan.

Care Access Fund
The Care Access Fund is one small way we’re helping to build the kind of community we believe in, enabling us to offer high-quality therapy to those for whom cost is a barrier.
Our Care Access Fund allows us to offer short-term support to individuals and families who may not otherwise be able to access care. This is a community-driven fund powered by individuals who share our belief in accessibility to mental health services, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.
