Why Sessions are Private Pay (not Insurance-Based)
I am not a psychotherapist and therefore I do not have the ability to bill insurance. And there are benefits to being private pay for my clients.
Benefits to Private Pay:
- Your experience stays truly private
No diagnosis is required, and nothing is reported to insurance companies. What you explore remains confidential—without being documented as a mental health condition. - No labels or pathologizing
Insurance requires a diagnosis to justify coverage. This work is not about labeling you—it’s about supporting you as a whole, capable person. - Freedom to focus on you—not a treatment plan
Sessions are not dictated by insurance requirements, checklists, or medical necessity criteria. We follow what is actually present and relevant for you. - Flexible pacing and frequency
You’re not limited by session caps or rigid timelines. You can move at a pace that supports real integration, not just short-term symptom relief. - Deeper, more experiential work
This work goes beyond talk-based models. Insurance typically does not cover experiential, somatic, or equine-guided approaches. - No third-party involvement in your process
No audits, no required progress reports, no external influence on how your sessions unfold. - Supports long-term transformation, not quick fixes
Insurance models are often built around symptom reduction. This work supports deeper awareness, emotional release, and lasting internal shifts. - Respects your autonomy
You are choosing this work for yourself—not because it’s prescribed, required, or approved by a system. - Clear, transparent structure
No surprise billing, denied claims, or confusion about coverage—just straightforward pricing and expectations.
