Investing in Yourself: Why Paying Out-of-Pocket for Therapy Can Be More Beneficial Than Using Insurance
Using insurance for you therapy
X Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent record.
X Your therapy records, including sensitive personal information, are shared with the insurance company and may be accessible to third parties.
X Insurance companies limit the number of sessions, they may also impose restrictions on the length or type of therapy.
X You’re often limited to in-network providers, which might exclude highly experienced or specialized therapists.
Paying for therapy out-of-pocket
✔️ You determine the length of your treatment, no session limits.
✔️ You have the option to engage in intensive therapy sessions.
✔️ Your records stay private, as they aren't shared with insurance companies, safeguarding your personal information.
✔️ You can address the issues you want to work on, like relationship dynamics or personal growth, without being tied to a medical diagnosis.
Your insurance may reimburse you for part of the cost of our therapy. Upon your request, I can provide you with a monthly invoice (a "Superbill") to submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. It is your responsibility to check your benefits to understand what your reimbursement might be, if any.
If you're unsure about how to file a reimbursement claim with your insurance carrier check out Reimbursify - they will file your claim for you.
Most insurance companies do not consider couples therapy "medically necessary" and, therefore, may not provide reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider for more information.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your cancellation policy for weekly sessions?
I understand that sometimes life gets in the way of our best intentions. Since the scheduling of an appointment involves setting aside time especially for you, a minimum of 24 hours notice is required for rescheduling or cancellation of an appointment. I do charge my full session rate for appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. I keep a credit card on file for this purpose.
What happens after I contact you for therapy?
After we make contact, either by phone or email and you schedule a session, I will send you a link to fill out your intake paperwork.
For our online meetings we will meet on my secure online therapy platform - Simple Practice. 48 hours before your appointment you will receive a reminder email/text with a link to our online meeting room (you will also receive the same reminder email/text with the meeting room link 10 minutes before our meeting.)
Before our session check in a few minutes early, make sure to have earbuds with a microphone, or if meeting as a couple make sure your camera is placed so I can see both of you.
My online meeting space will place you in a virtual waiting room and at our arranged meeting time I will open our session.
Do I really need counseling?
Many people struggle for years with old habits and patterns, bitterness or fear from past experiences, or struggling relationships.
I like to think of counseling and mental health care as I do physical care for my body. If my arm was broken I would go to a doctor immediately. But what if it was just sprained or tweaked and I could still function but not at my best?
Many people live their whole lives with sprained mental health. They talk to their friends or partners but never really get to the very heart of the problem. The find quick fixes that work for a short time but none that dramatically change their life. Therapy can help you go to the heart of the matter and develop curiosity about yourself leading to deep insight into who you are. With that knowledge you can change anything about your life - your job, your friendships, your reactions to challenges. With therapy you'll find you're more psychologically flexible and able to face conflicts head on rather than just avoiding them. You'll feel more control of yourself and your life and you'll begin to enjoy your relationships again.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes. All client-counselor conversations are private and confidential. No information is disclosed without prior written permission from the client. However, there are some exceptions required by law to this rule. Exceptions include:
-
Suspected child abuse, abuse or neglect of a dependent adult or older adult. The therapist is required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
-
If a client is threatening grave bodily harm to another person. The counselor is required to notify the police.
-
If a client intends to harm himself or herself. This is not the same as thinking about suicide which is sometimes a symptom of depression or anxiety. I may have to notify someone if you have an idea, a plan, and a way to carry out your plan.
What is the cancellation policy for an intensive session?
A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to secure your intensive therapy appointment. The remaining balance will be charged the day before your intensive.
I understand that sometimes life gets in the way of our best intentions. Since the scheduling of an intensive involves setting aside time especially for you, a minimum of 48 hours notice is required for rescheduling or cancellation of your intensive. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice, I will keep your deposit. If you can reschedule your intensive within 3 months your deposit will be applied to your rescheduled intensive.
I accept payment by credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover etc.) or HSA/FSA cards.
Do you offer a free consultation?
I do not offer a free 15-minute consultation for weekly therapy. I prefer to meet for an initial session, which gives you a better sense of my approach and how we can work together.
However, if you're interested in scheduling an intensive, I’d be happy to set up a 15-minute phone consultation beforehand to answer any questions you may have. Just reach out, and we can arrange a time.
How can therapy help me?
There are many benefits available to you by participating in therapy.
Counselors can provide support, help you explore you past, and offer possible coping skills for life's challenges. Many people find therapists instrumental in helping their relationship find peace and balance again.
My client's have found that an hour (or a 3 hour intensive) devoted entirely to them, is pivotal in their self-care.
The benefits you receive from therapy depend on how much you put into it and how honest and open you are to learning new ways of being.
How do I know if you're the right therapist for me?
Studies have shown that the relationship between the therapist and client is what leads to the most positive outcomes. I do everything in my power to make sure my clients feel cared for and respected. My clients describe me as warm, caring, consistent, and kind. Because I have a small number of clients, I remember what it said in session and reflect it back when it's most helpful. I will remember your best friend's name, you're mother's drinking problems, and your personal pronouns.
That being said, I can't be the best counselor for everyone and I am far from perfect. If at any time you feel as if our alliance is not helping you change and grow I hope you will speak to me about your concerns. You deserve the best help possible for the struggles you are dealing with and I will help you find that help.
My partner doesn't want to come to therapy!
If your partner isn't ready for therapy, working with me individually can still make a huge difference in your relationship. Here's why:
-
Gain clarity and insight: Together, we'll explore your feelings, needs, and the dynamics at play, helping you understand your own role in the relationship.
-
Develop effective communication tools: Learn strategies to navigate difficult conversations, even if your partner isn't yet ready to engage.
-
Shift your perspective: I can help you shift patterns of behavior and thought that may be contributing to the challenges you're facing, empowering you to make meaningful changes.
-
Empower your personal growth: You’ll feel supported as you focus on your own healing and growth, creating a foundation for healthier connections in the future—whether with your partner or on your own.
Even if your partner isn't on board yet, working with me individually can help you build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship with yourself—and set the stage for growth when they’re ready to join you.
