There are several reasons I have decided to work from a self-pay model of therapy. The first is that insurance companies require a diagnosis and medical necessity for coverage of care. This means that insurance companies get to dictate the kind of care you receive, the frequency of that care, and for how long you receive that care. It also means that insurance requires me to give you a mental health diagnosis in order to provide care. I work from a non-pathologizing perspective, and while I believe that sometimes it can be helpful and empowering to have a diagnosis, there are also many ways in which mental health diagnoses can feel limiting or stigmatizing. I think people can benefit from therapy regardless of diagnosis, and can often benefit more from a perspective that does not unnecessarily pathologize the human condition.

I am more than happy to provide a superbill for you to file with your insurance; however, I cannot guarantee what kind of coverage they may or may not provide for services.
