Accessible Care: Sliding Scales, Superbills, and Online Options

Working With a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern

BreakFree Therapy Services also provides counseling opportunities with Clinical Mental Health Counseling Interns who are completing their graduate-level clinical training.

Clinical Mental Health Counseling Interns have completed extensive graduate coursework and are developing their clinical skills through supervised direct client care as part of their path toward professional licensure.

Interns at BreakFree Therapy Services provide counseling under the supervision of experienced, licensed mental health professionals. Ongoing supervision provides an important opportunity to support ethical clinical practice, professional development, and quality client care.

Working with a counseling intern may be a good option for individuals who are looking for more affordable mental health counseling in Florida while receiving services within a supervised clinical setting.

Clients may benefit from:

●      Reduced-cost counseling

●      Individualized attention

●      A collaborative therapeutic relationship

●      Evidence-informed therapeutic approaches

●      Ongoing clinical supervision

●      A supportive and compassionate counseling environment

●      A clinician actively engaged in graduate-level professional development

Our current counseling intern and availability may change as graduate students complete their clinical training, so we encourage you to contact BreakFree Therapy Services for current information about intern counseling options.

Affordable Therapy Options in Florida

We understand that the cost of mental health care can be a barrier to receiving support.

BreakFree Therapy Services offers several options to help make counseling more accessible. In addition to our regular self-pay services, reduced-fee counseling may be available through our Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern program. Reduced-fee services are often referred to as “Sliding Scale” services within the community relating to providing affordable self-pay pricing.

For clients using out-of-network insurance benefits, we can also provide superbills that may be submitted to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your individual plan.

If you're unsure which option may be right for you, our team can provide more information when you reach out.

Care That Speaks Your Language

We are proud to provide therapeutic services in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole. At BreakFree Therapy Services, we believe that language and culture should never be barriers to receiving high-quality mental health care.

Our commitment to culturally responsive, inclusive, and compassionate care is a cornerstone of our values. We strive to create a welcoming environment where every client feels understood, respected, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

Start Your Therapy Journey With BreakFree Therapy Services

Starting therapy doesn't mean that something is wrong with you. It means you're choosing to invest in your mental and emotional well-being and give yourself the opportunity to receive support.

Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, emotional regulation, life transitions, eating disorder concerns, body image, or personal growth, counseling can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and work toward meaningful change.

At BreakFree Therapy Services, we provide compassionate, individualized mental health counseling for children, adolescents, and adults throughout Florida. We offer virtual therapy throughout Florida as well as in-person therapy in Fort Myers, Florida.

You don't have to know exactly what you need before reaching out. You don't have to have the right words or know exactly what to say. Sometimes, the first step is simply starting a conversation.
