What do career services cost?
Costs depend on the services you receive. Counseling costs $10 to $45 per 45-minute session. Vocational testing generally costs about $50 to $400, depending on the assessment type and the number of hours required.
We strive to set fees that won’t burden our clients. Our sliding fee scale for vocational counseling is based on the individual’s income, number of dependents and ability to pay.
The Center does not accept health insurance, Medicaid or other third-party payments. Insurance companies may reimburse clients for our services, but they are not required to do so under New York State law.
