Investing in You!  Why?  Because You’re Worth It!

It is often a hard decision first and foremost to seek help. When your finally ready to make that big step you start the process. You seek out a therapist, you ask around, maybe even do a little research. Finally you find someone you think is going to work well for you and your needs/personality/ etc. and then as you are about to book an appointment you learn, they don’t accept your insurance and to see them you will have to do private pay.

You are all about ready to pump the brakes and go another route. But wait!! Consider a few things.  Many therapists these days are moving towards private pay agreements. Co-pays and deductibles are rising every day, or at least it seems!  Also, consider that not everyone’s plan covers mental health. What happens if you are of the many?

There are many benefits to private pay, as opposed to using insurance, such as:

• You’re not limited to who is “In Network”.

You chose your therapist!

• You’re not restricted by length or number of sessions covered.

You decide how often! You decide how long!

• You’re not restricted to individual sessions. Insurances, for the most part, will not cover Premarital/ Couples/ or Family therapy.

You decide who needs to be involved for change to be made!

• You’re not required to be given a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement.

You have more control of your private health information. Your services are entirely private. You decide if it needs to be release. Your information is entirely confidential. Nothing “goes on your record.”

• Private Pay rates can be less than some specialist/mental health co-pays!

This doesn’t fit everyone’s need or lifestyle. But many therapists today are mindful of this and offering sliding scales. You’re worth investing in and the relationships in your life are worth investing in for a brighter future!

Please let me know if your interested in services, but your current financial situation would make it difficult for you to afford my standard fee. We can talk about possible alternatives. Reduced or sliding fee schedule is available on a case-by-case basis.

Best Wishes,
