Why don't you accept insurance?
We firmly believe that together you and your therapist are best suited to determine the level of care, length of care and method of care that works best for you. If an insurance company is paying for sessions, they are the ones that determine length, level and method of care.
Additionally, we believe your privacy is of utmost importance. Insurance companies regularly conduct "utilization reviews" of care they are funding. This means, a reviewer for the insurance company can access and review information from your client record including diagnoses, treatment plans, and session notes.
βAnd lastly, insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis from the DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) to authorize and fund your care. While a diagnosis can be helpful in tailoring care to meet your needs, there are plenty of instances where therapeutic support is needed but a person's experience and challenges cannot be categorized as a mental health disorder in the DSM. For example, you might need help in the aftermath of infidelity, or through the ending of a significant relationship or you want to explore non-monogamy with your partner. All of these represent valid reasons for seeking support from a therapist, and they also do not meet criteria for a mental health disorder.
