**I do not accept insurance, but you may use your out-of-network benefits if you would like to submit your claims for partial coverage.
There are a few important reasons why I do not accept insurance for payment:
Confidentiality and Diagnosis-Free Therapy. People that choose to pay out of pocket are NOT required to have a diagnosis for treatment. Most insurances REQUIRE a diagnosis in order to be covered. Not everyone who seeks therapy meets criteria for a diagnosis, nor do they want employees of insurance companies to be able to view this personal information. Furthermore, a diagnosis becomes part of your permanent medical record and could potentially affect you when applying for life insurance or long/short term disability.
Health insurance companies choose your therapist for you. I believe that individuals should be able to choose the person that they feel most comfortable with, not who the insurance company deems they will cover.
Health insurance companies dictate the bounds of your therapy. Health insurance companies decide how many sessions they will cover. With private pay, you are in charge of the length and frequency of your therapy.
