*Why Self-Pay/Private Pay?:

 

Paying privately for your therapy sessions has several benefits. In order to bill an insurance company for psychotherapy, a provider must submit a mental health diagnosis along with supporting details to prove the need for counseling. Depending on your personal or professional situation, you may find it important to avoid this. Self-pay offers:

 

• Increased confidentiality – only you and the therapist have any knowledge of your situation

• No concern of being given a mental health/psychiatric diagnosis

• No limit on the number of treatment sessions (it is typical for insurance companies to decide this)

• Treatment planning and helping you feel better is decided on by only you and the therapist

• Choice – you can work with a therapist that feels “best” for you vs. only those accepting your insurance type. You may feel more confident working with someone referred to you by those you trust.

 

Forms of Payment Accepted:

I accept Cash, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, FSA/HSA Cards, and Personal Checks for therapy session payments. I am also able to provide you with individual receipts or invoices for your insurance provider as needed.
