Why pay out-of-pocket?
1. Complete Confidentiality and Privacy: When you pay out-of-pocket, your information remains strictly confidential between you and me. Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis and can request access to your session notes, which becomes part of your permanent medical record. Self-pay eliminates this requirement, protecting your privacy.
​
2. Control Over Your Treatment: Insurance companies often dictate the length, frequency, and type of therapy they will cover. By self-paying, you and I decide on the best course of treatment, the number of sessions, and the goals, ensuring the therapy is tailored specifically to your needs, not an insurance policy's limitations.
3. Freedom from Diagnosis: You are not required to meet the criteria for a specific mental health disorder to receive care. This allows us to focus on personal growth, relationship issues, stress management, or any other goal without the pressure of labeling or diagnosing your challenges.
​
4. Choice of Provider: You can choose any therapist you feel is the best fit for you, regardless of their insurance network status. This ensures you receive specialized care from a professional whose expertise aligns perfectly with your goals.
