The Benefits of Out-of-Pocket Therapy

Choosing to pay for therapy out of pocket offers greater flexibility, privacy, and control over your mental health care.

Your mental health records remain private and are not shared with insurance companies. This means no diagnoses are required to qualify for care, and your personal information stays secure.

You have the ability to work with the therapist who best suits your needs, rather than being limited by insurance networks or provider restrictions.

Insurance often dictates the number of sessions or type of therapy covered. With private pay, you and your therapist decide the best treatment plan—without external limitations.

Therapists who offer private-pay services often have smaller caseloads, allowing them to provide more focused, individualized attention to your unique needs.

Skip the paperwork, denied claims, and hidden costs. With out-of-pocket therapy, you know exactly what you’re paying for upfront, giving you full financial clarity.

Other FAQs

I accept all major credit cards, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and Flex Spending Accounts (FSA).

You may use your out-of-network benefits as I do not contract directly with any insurance companies. I do not accept in-network coverage because frequently it dictates the kinds of interventions I can use and the length of treatment, which means that we can’t be as creative, personalized, and in-depth in our work together.
I provide monthly superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Practically, this means you pay out-of-pocket and you submit the superbill to your insurance company, they will reimburse you directly. Most insurance companies will begin to reimburse from 50-90% of service fees after the out-of-network deductible is paid. Please contact your own insurance company to ask about your specific policy benefits.
Requesting a superbill requires you to have a mental health diagnosis. I am more than happy to discuss your diagnosis with you, if you choose this option. If you would like to opt out of utilizing a superbill, please let me know.

No, we are private pay only. We provide superbills so you can submit them to your insurance directly.

We want your therapy to feel personal, flexible, and truly centered on you. When insurance isn’t involved. We are able to focus on what you need—not on meeting diagnosis requirements or navigating authorizations. This also keeps your information completely private, allowing you to show up just as you are.

A superbill is a detailed receipt that your therapist provides so you can seek reimbursement from your insurance company for out-of-network mental health services. It is not a bill from your provider and it does not guarantee reimbursement, but many clients use superbills to reduce their out-of-pocket costs.

A superbill typically includes:

  • Your name and date of birth
  • Your therapist’s name, credentials, and NPI number
  • The date and length of your session(s)
  • Service codes (CPT codes)
  • Diagnosis code (required by insurance for reimbursement)
  • The fee you paid for each service

Once you receive a superbill, you can submit it directly to your insurance company. They determine whether the service is eligible for partial reimbursement based on your out-of-network benefits, deductible, and plan policies.

Our cancellation policy is 100% of your session fee if less than 48 hours notice.
