How do I get started?
For Appointments call the Center for Healthy Families at 301-405-2273.
Requests are promptly assigned to a therapist who will call to set up an initial appointment and answer any questions you might have about our services.
New clients can expect to be contacted by a family therapist shortly after their initial request for service.
What hours are you available?
Both day and evening appointments are available Monday through Friday.
The earliest sessions start at 9AM, and the last sessions start at 8PM. Evenings are reserved for families and couples, so the last time for individual therapy sessions is 5PM. (should this be updated?)
Who is eligible for your services?
CHF clients may live anywhere in the Maryland/Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The Center for Healthy Families does not restrict its in-person services to clients living in a specific geographic area. Nevertheless, clients receiving teletherapy services must be physically located in Maryland per state law. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this.
How much do therapy sessions cost?
Fees are based on a sliding scale ranging from $15 to $120 per session based on a family’s income.
Payment is accepted via cash, check, or credit card (Visa or Mastercard), and expected at the end of each session.
What if I need to cancel a session?
Cancellation of appointments must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled session to avoid a missed session charge equal to the normal session fee. The Clinic operates under the University of Maryland's schedule for holiday and emergency closings.

Does the center take health insurance?
We do not take insurance.
We offer a Sliding fee scale at our center. This means that the fee per therapy session differs based on your annual income.
The session fee can range anywhere between $15-$120 based on your income.
If you are seeking couple or family therapy services, the session fee would be determined based on the combined annual income of the clients attending the therapy.
