Do you accept Insurance?

Insurance is not accepted at this practice.

There are several potential benefits to choosing not to use insurance for therapy services:

• Enhanced privacy and confidentiality: When you pay for therapy out of pocket, your therapy sessions are not documented in your insurance records. This means that sensitive information discussed in therapy remains private and confidential between you and your therapist, without the risk of it being shared with insurance companies or employers.

• Greater flexibility in treatment options: Using insurance for therapy often involves adhering to certain guidelines and limitations set by the insurance provider, such as pre-authorization requirements, diagnosis codes, evaluation types, and session limits. Opting to pay out of pocket gives you and your therapist more flexibility in designing a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs, without external constraints.

• Avoiding a mental health diagnosis on your medical record: Some individuals prefer not to have a mental health diagnosis documented in their medical records, which can impact future insurance coverage, employment opportunities, or other aspects of life. Paying for therapy privately allows you to receive treatment without the necessity of a formal diagnosis, if desired.

• Access to specialized therapists: Some therapists may not accept insurance or may only accept certain insurance plans. By paying out of pocket, you have the freedom to choose a therapist who specializes in your specific concerns or therapeutic approach, without being limited by insurance network restrictions.

• Reduced administrative burden: Dealing with insurance paperwork, copayments, and pre-authorization requirements can be time-consuming and stressful. Paying out of pocket simplifies the administrative process, allowing you to focus solely on your therapy sessions and therapeutic progress.

• Investment in personal well-being: Paying for therapy out of pocket can be viewed as an investment in your mental and emotional well-being. It demonstrates a commitment to prioritizing self-care and personal growth, without relying on external entities to dictate the course of your treatment.

It's important to weigh these potential benefits against the financial considerations of paying for therapy out of pocket. While it may offer certain advantages, it's essential to ensure that therapy remains accessible and affordable for you. If cost is a concern, you may explore options such as sliding scale fees, payment plans, or seeking therapists who offer reduced rates for self-pay clients. Additionally, discussing your financial situation openly with your therapist can help you find a solution that works best for you.
