WHY THERAPISTS DO NOT TAKE INSURANCE?

​

Prioritizes Your Care: Insurance companies require a diagnosis and determine length of care based on this. They also can decide that you are not progressing fast enough and when you should be done with therapy. 

Ensures Your Confidentiality: When you are required to give a diagnosis this stays on file in your records. While this may not seem like a concern in the future you could be denied life insurance due to certain diagnosis. Any documented mental health treatment that is filed through your insurance will go on your permanent medical record. This can have a significant impact on your future ability to secure any health insurance coverage at all; if you are able to obtain insurance with this on your record, your insurance premium, deductible, and co-pays are likely to be much higher

​

Not Everything is Covered: Insurance may not pay when someone is experiencing normal life stressors, working on relationship issues, career concerns, or addressing past trauma.

Overextends Your Therapist: Therapists that take insurance are often seeing too many clients and are mentally overextended. You want a therapist who is alert and attentive to you at each appointment. You deserve a therapist that remembers details about previous conversations you have had without having to repeat them each week.

I rather have your mental health treatment be determined by you and I  than by insurance companies.
