One reason I don’t accept insurance is because it allows us to prioritize your privacy and confidentiality. Insurance companies often review files and may deny claims or services, potentially compromising your privacy. By not using insurance, you have full control over who accesses your records.
Another benefit of not using insurance is that we’re not required to assign a diagnosis. Many clients seek therapy for personal growth or everyday stressors that don’t necessarily warrant a mental health diagnosis. Additionally, some individuals prefer not to have a diagnosis on file, and I respect that choice. It’s your right to decide.
By not being tied to insurance, we can collaborate on the frequency and timing of our sessions. Insurance companies often dictate session length, frequency, and even treatment duration, which may not align with your specific needs. Together, we can tailor our sessions to best support your journey.

Even though I don’t work directly with insurance companies, you may still be able to utilize your insurance benefits through what’s called Out of Network Benefits.
To find out if you have Out of Network Benefits, you can contact your insurance provider directly or we can discuss it during our free consultation call.
If you qualify, you’ll need to have a diagnosis on file, and at the end of each month, I’ll provide you with a superbill. You can then submit this superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Essentially, you’ll pay my fee upfront, and if you’re eligible for benefits, you’ll receive a percentage of that fee reimbursed directly from your insurance company.
If you’re still unsure about how this works, don’t hesitate to schedule a free consultation, and we can go over any questions or concerns you may have.
