Just like our physical health, our mental health is an investment. People choose self-pay services over insurance for many reasons: Increased Flexibility: With a self-pay service, you are not beholden to your one-hour sessions. Together, we can figure out how much time you will need in a counseling session. No Diagnosis Necessary: In order for insurance to cover your services, a diagnosis is required. Sometimes you will not qualify for a diagnosis but still need the help of therapy services. Other times, you make have a diagnosis that can be stigmatized and becomes part of your medical records. When you private pay for my services, your diagnosis is confidential as it does not need to be released to your insurance provider. High Deductible: If you have high deductibles that you will never meet, you will be paying for services out of pocket even though you have insurance. Your Mental Health is an Investment: When your mental health is not in a good state, life feels unmanageable. You deserve to feel good, to heal, to do the deep work, and be the person you want to be. This is an investment in yourself; the past, present, and future you. Good Faith Estimate: According to the "No Surprises Act", you are entitled to a good faith estimate which will be provided before services begin.
