Thank you for considering me for your counseling needs. One question that often arises is why I do not accept insurance. It's an understandable query, and I'm happy to provide some insight into my decision.
The primary reason I don't accept insurance is to prioritize your privacy and the quality of our therapeutic relationship. When you use insurance for therapy, your diagnosis and treatment information become part of your permanent medical record, which can have implications for future insurance coverage, employment, and other areas of your life. By opting not to involve insurance companies, I can ensure that your therapy remains entirely confidential between us.
Additionally, not working with insurance allows me to focus solely on providing the best care possible for you. Insurance companies often impose limitations on the number of sessions or the types of therapy covered, which can restrict the flexibility and effectiveness of our work together. Without these constraints, I can tailor our sessions to your unique needs and goals, ensuring that you receive the personalized attention and support you deserve.
Ultimately, my decision not to accept insurance is rooted in my commitment to providing you with the highest quality of care in a safe, supportive environment. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to reach out.
