Why choose self-pay over using insurance?

There are several benefits to choosing self-pay for therapy services:

• Greater privacy and confidentiality: Your records stay between you and your therapist. Insurance companies require access to documentation and progress notes. With self-pay, your information remains private and protected.

• No formal diagnosis required: Insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis to approve and continue services. Self-pay gives you the freedom to seek support without having a diagnosis attached to your health record.

• More flexibility in care: You and your clinician decide what’s best for your healing journey, including the length and frequency of sessions. This means you can opt for extended sessions (like 90 minutes) when needed, without insurance limitations.

• No service restrictions: Insurance may limit what types of therapy are covered or how many sessions you can attend. Self-pay ensures you get the care you need, on your own terms.

What is your cancellation policy?

We require a 24-hour notice for cancellations. If a session is canceled less than 24 hours in advance, a cancellation fee may apply. We understand that emergencies happen, and in those cases, cancellations are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

How do you protect my privacy in virtual therapy session?

Your privacy and confidentiality are incredibly important to me. We use HIPAA-compliant video platforms to conduct virtual therapy sessions, ensuring that your personal information is protected. All communications, whether in-person or online, are kept confidential and stored securely. If you have any questions about privacy during virtual sessions, please feel free to ask.
