What are the benefits of paying out of pocket versus going through my insurance?
Clients who pay out of pocket are guaranteed a higher level of confidentiality meaning that the only people who know any of the details of treatment are themselves and their therapist. When you bill through your insurance company they can request information exchanged in session. Insurance providers require a mental health diagnosis in order for therapy to be covered. This means that many issues (such as martial problems, life stress, or personal growth) are not covered by insurance anyway. When clients pay out-of-pocket, there is no requirement of a mental health diagnosis for treatment. It is important to consider that once a diagnosis becomes a part of your permanent medical record it can potentially effect the consideration of future policies, such as, Life Insurance, Short and Long Term Disability.

"Sometimes we are so stuck in the past that we miss out on the blessings to come in the future. We have to leave room in our lives and our hearts for change. You cannot get to happily ever after without turning the page." - Sejginha Williams-Abaku, LMFT
