The reason I don't take insurance is because I focus on proactive and preventive care that the insurance model does not facilitate when it comes to behavioral health. Billing insurance companies for therapy they'll pay for requires that you're given a diagnosis of a mental disorder. Not everyone who comes to therapy will have a diagnosis. A diagnosis, especially for behavioral health, is a serious thing. I do diagnose, but only when appropriate. And to keep insurance companies paying for therapy, they require that progress is reported to them, and depending on how well you're doing, the insurance company might stop paying if you aren't "sick" enough anymore. This is not the way I like to work. People who may not necessitate a diagnosis, but want preventive care, often seek me for therapy to meet their needs.
I'm not in network with any insurance companies, but at your request, I can provide you with documentation called a superbill to provide your insurance company to request out-of-network reimbursement. I suggest it would be helpful to contact your insurance company to get details about your out-of-network coverage.
