NO.

I understand that navigating the financial aspects of therapy can be challenging, so I want to explain why I don’t accept insurance and how it benefits you.

1. Confidentiality and Privacy:

   • By not accepting insurance, your personal information remains strictly between us. Insurance companies often require detailed information about your treatment and mental health history, which can compromise your privacy.

2. Flexibility and Control:

   • Not being tied to insurance regulations allows me to tailor our sessions to your unique needs without restrictions on the number of sessions or types of treatment. We can work at a pace that suits you best.

3. Quality of Care:

   • Without the constraints of insurance, I can focus solely on providing the best care possible. This means more personalized and effective therapy sessions without the need to adhere to insurance-driven limitations.

4. Administrative Efficiency:

   • By not dealing with insurance companies, I can dedicate more time and energy to your care rather than managing paperwork and billing issues. This means more attention and focus on your therapy.

1. Consultation Call:

• Introduction: We get to know each other and discuss your needs and goals.

• Questions: You ask any questions you have about therapy.

• Next Steps: If we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule your first session.

2. Scheduling Your First Session:

4. Ongoing Sessions:

• Progress and Adjustments: We assess your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

5. Review and Feedback:

• Check-Ins: Periodically review progress and gather feedback.

• Goals: Reassess and ensure we’re on track to meet your goals.

6. Conclusion of Therapy:

• Support: You’re always welcome to return if new challenges arise.

• Reflect: Think about your therapy goals and specific issues to address.
