 Are there benefits to private pay (not billing insurance)?

Yes! There are a number of benefits to cash pay, even if you have insurance:​

  • You have more freedom in choosing a therapist that is a good fit for you (no "in-network" worries).

  • You can receive therapy services for needs that aren't "billable" to insurance, such as relationship concerns, communication needs, or a variety of other personal issues.

  • I will not be required to assign a mental health diagnosis that is a part of your medical record.

  • The total number of sessions and session frequency will not be dictated by your insurance company.

  • You will have more flexibility in creating your goals for therapy.
