I believe therapy works best when treatment decisions stay between you and your therapist. Insurance companies often require diagnoses, treatment plans, session limits, medical-necessity reviews, and documentation that can shape or restrict care. I choose not to give insurers that level of influence over your therapy.

Self-pay allows us to focus on what you actually need: the pace, goals, frequency, and type of support that make sense for your life. It also offers greater privacy and flexibility, without sessions being delayed, denied, or dictated by insurance requirements.

I am working toward credentialing with Medical Assistance because I know that self-pay is not accessible for everyone, and I want to reduce barriers to care where I can. For clients with out-of-network benefits, I also partner with Thrizer to help make reimbursement simpler. Thrizer may allow eligible clients to use their out-of-network benefits without having to manage the full reimbursement process on their own. Clients who prefer to submit claims independently may also request superbills to send to their insurance company directly. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on each client’s individual insurance plan and benefits.
