Benefits of Private Pay
Benefits of Self-Pay Therapy
Choosing self-pay for therapy can offer a level of flexibility, privacy, and personalization that isn’t always possible when using insurance. Some clients find that self-pay allows for:
Greater privacy and confidentiality
Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis and access to aspects of your treatment. With self-pay, your care remains between you and your therapist—without the need to share information with a third party.
More flexibility in your care
Sessions aren’t limited by insurance requirements. This means we can move at your pace, adjust frequency as needed, and tailor our work in a way that best supports you—rather than what is dictated by a plan.
No required diagnosis
Therapy doesn’t have to begin with something being “wrong.” Self-pay allows space for growth, processing, and support without needing to assign a diagnosis for coverage purposes.
Greater choice in therapeutic approach
We’re able to integrate approaches that best fit your needs—such as attachment-focused work, parts work, somatic therapy, or EMDR—without restrictions on what is considered “medically necessary.”
