why private pay

Benefits of Working with A Private Pay Therapist include enhanced quality of care and other advantages, such as:

1. You are in control of your care, including choosing your therapist, length of treatment, etc.

2. Increased privacy and confidentiality (except for limits of confidentiality).

3. Not having a mental health disorder diagnosis on your medical record.

4. Consulting with me on non-psychiatric issues that are important to you that aren’t billable by insurance, such as learning how to cope with life changes, gaining more effective communication techniques for your relationships, increasing personal insight, and developing healthy new skills.

5. You are paying directly for your own therapeutic benefits, which can feel empowering and helpful in owning your own challenges and successes.

6. Reduced administrative work for me allows me to see more clients, focus more on the therapeutic needs, and serve more people which adds to my experience, skills and training, which I then offer back to my clients.  It is a more efficient process than involving an insurance company.
