Out of Pocket Investment

 

Insurance Information

I am an out of network provider, which means that I do not contract with insurance companies.

However, if you have out of network benefits, I can provide you with a detailed document that you can submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement. 

You may be wondering why I don't accept insurance. This was a carefully thought out decision. 

Generally speaking, insurance companies are more focused on saving money rather than the quality of care you receive. Insurance companies require a diagnosis for you to receive services. While a diagnosis can be helpful and affirming in some cases, it isn't always necessary. I don't support giving you a diagnosis that will be attached to your medical history forever in order to receive payment for the services I provide. Insurance companies also attempt to dictate treatment by limiting sessions and by requiring a time consuming, lengthy process in order for additional sessions to be approved. This can interrupt your progress and it shifts the focus away from you and our work together. In full transparency, insurance companies devalue the work of mental health therapists and overall do not provide a reimbursement rate that is sustainable for me to be resourced and provide quality services.

I acknowledge that paying for therapy without relying on insurance is a privilege. The system is broken and change on a macro level is needed. In an effort to make my services more accessible, I offer sliding scale rates. Unfortunately, at this time, all sliding scale spots are full. I’ll keep fighting for universal healthcare, including mental healthcare, because I believe it should be a right, not a privilege.
