VR exposure therapy for a single-clinician private practice. One headset is enough, the full scenario catalog is included, clinician-led support, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and no lock-in. Two added sessions a month cover the plan — patients you’d otherwise refer out.
The demo is run by our clinical advisor, a licensed psychologist in active practice. No credit card, no commitment.
We’ve heard them hundreds of times. We answer with numbers and honesty, not marketing.
A private-pay session covers a real chunk of the plan. If VRET adds two sessions a month — not new clients, just retaining the patients with dog phobia, claustrophobia, or agoraphobia you’d otherwise refer out — the plan is paid for. Everything past that is margin. We don’t sell you ’scale’; we sell you a low floor you clear with almost nothing.
Your neighbors offer CBT. So do you — but with a tool that looks different from the first minute of the first patient. VR is a visible lever: it justifies a differentiated fee and it’s easy to explain to a family. No partner, no second room.
Per-headset platforms charge by device and push the upgrade. As a solo clinician, one Meta Quest 3 covers your whole schedule — you run the VR sessions, not a second person. $119/mo includes the full scenario catalog. There’s no next plan to ’unlock.’
You always control the session from your laptop browser, never from inside the headset. The real learning curve: a 30-minute onboarding video plus one technical session with you by video. Our clinical advisor is on the first real patient session live. Closer to using a calendar tool than to programming.
The plan pays for itself by retaining the phobia patients already in your caseload — no need to land new clients.
| Starter plan | $119/mo (list price · full catalog included) |
| Hardware (Meta Quest 3) | ~$500 once yours to keep, not rented |
| Year-1 cost (software + headset) | ≈ $1,928 ≈ $161/mo on average |
| Break-even: 2 added sessions/mo | clears the plan retaining phobia patients you already have · no new-client acquisition |
The math isn’t magic. At $119/mo, a couple of private-pay sessions cover it. If you also raise your VR-session fee a little (reasonable — it’s a differentiated clinical tool), one VR patient a week pays the plan and leaves margin. And honestly: if your caseload doesn’t have 2–3 patients with specific phobias, this isn’t for you yet.
If you recognize yourself in one of these three, skip the call. We’d rather tell you before you sign anything.
Round numbers. To cover the plan you need to add two sessions a month — not land two new clients: just treat one patient with dog phobia or claustrophobia you were going to refer out (say four sessions), or bring two active patients back one more time each. The third VR session of the month is already net margin. If your caseload can’t support that math, say so on the qualification call and we’ll tell you honestly it isn’t for you yet.
Yes. The learning curve is 1–2 technical sessions plus a 30-minute onboarding video. Our clinical advisor is on your first real patient session by video or chat, live. You always control the session from your laptop browser, not from inside the headset. It’s closer to opening a browser tab than to programming.
Look at your caseload honestly. Specific phobias (dog phobia, agoraphobia, claustrophobia, social anxiety, driving, medical/needle, heights) affect 7–12% of adults. If you have 30 active patients, statistically 2–4 are VR-treatable. If you take anxiety/panic referrals, the figure is usually higher.
You need a clear square of about 7×7 ft around the seated patient. Most relaxation and clinical-exposure scenarios are done seated. Heights or claustrophobia exposure can be done standing in that space. A standard therapy office works.
More than you’d think. Our clinical advisor’s internal survey shows about 78% initial acceptance when it’s presented as a controlled clinical tool (not gaming). The strongest predictor of refusal is comorbid claustrophobia and headset ergonomics with progressive lenses — optical-insert accessories for the Quest 3 solve about 90% of those cases.
Yes. A 30-day money-back guarantee, full refund, no conditions, the same on every plan. After that, no lock-in: cancel with one billing cycle’s notice from your own dashboard.
A call with our clinical advisor. We’ll look at your caseload honestly and tell you whether VR fits. If it doesn’t, we’ll say so.
