Private Pay

Things to know before choosing private pay:

  • Clients who pay out of pocket are guaranteed that the only people who know any of the details of therapy are themselves and their therapist.  Aside from normal limits to confidentiality, therapy is completely confidential, without any third party being privy to information exchanged in session.

  • When clients pay out-of-pocket, there is no requirement of a mental health diagnosis for treatment, which means that anyone can seek treatment.  Private pay also carries the additional benefit of reducing pressure to pathologize normal individuals who simply need help coping with some area of life.  Finally, treatment without the necessity of a mental health diagnosis means that the stigma of some diagnoses can often be avoided.

Freedom in Treatment

Private pay clients have complete control of the duration and style of their treatment.  Modalities that are ethically viable but not covered by insurance are open to private pay clients.  Private pay clients are able to choose the focus of their therapy, the duration of therapy, and the frequency of therapy, and even the length of individual sessions.
