Why Choose Self-Pay or Private Pay Therapy?

When you invest in self-pay or private pay therapy, you're choosing a therapeutic experience designed entirely around your needs and goals. Unlike insurance-based therapy, self-pay allows us to work together without the constraints of diagnostic labels or treatment limitations imposed by third parties. Your sessions remain completely confidential and no insurance companies have access to your personal information or treatment details. We can schedule appointments at times that work best for your life, extend sessions when beneficial, and craft a truly personalized approach to your healing journey. This investment in yourself means receiving therapy that's flexible, private, and focused solely on what will help you thrive, without external pressures or restrictions dictating your care.

I understand that investing in psychotherapy involves both emotional and financial considerations. Therefore, to help make therapy more accessible, I accept various major insurance plans and offer self-pay rates as well, including some sliding scale options. When appropriate, I can provide "superbills" for clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement for insurance.

I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute, no pressure consultation, often available within 24 hours. This gives us both a chance to discuss your therapy goals, explore whether my approach aligns with what you're seeking, review practical considerations like scheduling and costs, and answer any questions you might have. This brief conversation can help you make an informed decision about moving forward.
