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.

If you have any questions please feel free to get on my schedule.
