Fees for Art Therapy Services
Registration fees for our Community Group Art Therapy programs are to be paid in their entirety, whether you attend all the sessions or not. We do not reimburse or adjust fees for missed sessions.
Individual Art Therapy Client-Artists will be invoiced after each session and have 30 days to pay, late fees will be applied for any invoice paid after 30 days and services will be suspended until payment arrangements have been made.

Insurance
Unfortunately, at this time we are not able to accept insurance to pay for services. We do accept vouchers and 3rd-party payors.
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance will be determined by a sliding scale based on household income. We offer 50% and 75% fee reductions based on financial need. We also offer a fixed 25% fee reduction for active military and veterans, first responders, front line and non-profit workers. We use the HHS federal poverty guidelines to determine need. We offer assistance for 10-week CAT/DTA groups and for individual sessions with ATS staff. These fee reductions are made possible by the Christine M. Treu Scholarship Fund.
All individuals eligible for financial assistance may only receive the fee reduction toward one 10-week session program per season. This fee reduction will carry over each registration period in perpetuity unless you communicate to us you no longer need financial assistance. If you miss 3 days during a 10-week session period, you are no longer eligible for the financial assistance fee reduction.
Art Therapy Studio provides valuable art therapy services to individuals who are in need of mental health support. In order to ensure that our resources are allocated in the most effective manner, the following policy has been established regarding eligibility for financial assistance for art therapy services.
Individuals who are currently receiving assistance funds from another agency or organization to pay for services at the Art Therapy Studio are not eligible for financial assistance. This includes individuals who are receiving funding from government programs or other third-party organizations.
The rationale behind this policy is that our financial assistance program is intended to provide support to individuals who would otherwise not be able to afford art therapy services. It is not intended to supplement funding that is already being provided by other sources.
Exceptions to this policy may be considered on a case-by-case basis if the individual can demonstrate that their current funding is insufficient to cover the full cost of their art therapy services. However, such exceptions are not guaranteed and will be granted at the discretion of the Art Therapy Studio.
By adhering to this policy, we can ensure that our financial assistance program is used in the most effective and equitable manner possible, providing access to art therapy services to those who truly need it.

Cancellations & Refunds
Your payment for registration reserves your spot in the program(s) for which you have signed up to attend. Since we have limited spots available, we have updated our refund policy to encourage individuals who need to cancel to do so in enough time for someone else to fill the open spot. We offer a full money back refund for cancellations up to 7 days prior to the first date of the program(s) in which you are registered to attend. There are no refunds for cancellations after 7 days prior to the start of program(s) for which you are registered to attend. There are no refunds for session days you do not attend. If Art Therapy Studio needs to cancel a session day, we will do our best to schedule a make-up date which will be offered at the end of the program.
Every Community Art Therapy program has an enrollment minimum of 4 people for the program to run. If the program fails to achieve 4 enrollments a week before the program begins, participants will be notified and offered the option to transfer to another open program or receive a refund.
Refunds will be issued in the method in which the initial payment was received. We do not hold refunds as “store credit” for future registrations. Once you have cancelled your registration your refund will be issued within 24-48 hours (about 2 days).
