• Self Pay is a fixed rate determined by your therapist for a specific service. They are NOT billed through your insurance company. Self-pay rates are not applied towards your deductible and no insurance claims are filed.

    Self Pay rates may cost less if you have a high deductible or are filing out-of-network.

  • When a claim is submitted to an insurance company, the therapist must submit a diagnosis that becomes part of the individual’s medical record, which may be accessed by other medical providers. Some individuals prefer to keep diagnostic information confidential. In paying the self-pay rate, no diagnostic information is submitted to the insurance company, nor is it accessible to other medical providers without a signed release of information.

    • Location: Your sessions can be in office, virtual, or in your home.

    • Time: Your therapist is able to spend more than the 52 minutes mandated by insurance companies helping you navigate difficult emotions.

    • Support: Parents, spouses, and other people who are important to you can join sessions at your choosing without possible insurance denials.

    • No Mandatory Diagnosis: Your therapist does not have to diagnose you.

    • Mindful Movement: We can incorporate gentle, mindful yoga into therapy sessions without possible insurance denials.

    • Multiple Sessions: You can have as many sessions with your therapist as YOU need, not the number determined by your insurance company.
