Why We Don’t Bill Insurance
(And How That Benefits You)

We understand that not accepting insurance might feel frustrating at first glance. But this decision is intentional—and it actually protects your privacy, gives us more flexibility, and allows for a more personalized, effective experience.

​

Here's what that means for you:

​

No Required Diagnosis
Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis to approve treatment. That diagnosis is submitted to your insurance and may remain on file, potentially impacting future coverage decisions. In private-pay therapy, we can focus on what matters—without assigning a label that may not fully reflect your situation or your child’s needs.

​

More Flexibility in What We Work On
When you're not tied to insurance requirements, we don’t have to justify your sessions by proving you're “sick enough.” That means we can focus on parenting support, school stress, executive functioning, or behavioral challenges without worrying about what’s billable.

​

Complete Privacy
Your information stays between you and your therapist. No audits, no reporting, no third-party access to deeply personal details.

​

You Set the Pace, Not the Insurance Company
We don’t have to rush to fit your healing into a session cap or billing schedule. You decide how often we meet, and for how long.

​

Less Paperwork. More Progress.
You won't have to deal with denied claims, complicated authorizations, or coding errors. Instead, we spend that time focused on your goals and your growth.

​

Submitting for Reimbursement

If you have out-of-network benefits, we’ll provide a monthly statement (called a superbill) you can submit to your insurance.

 

Many clients receive partial reimbursement or have sessions count toward their deductible. We’re happy to walk you through how to check your plan.

Private pay isn’t just about skipping the red tape. It’s about giving you the freedom to access care that works.
