Independent Services
Mental health practitioners want to invest deeply in their clients’ well-being, and are at their best without insurance companies dictating treatment options. By choosing not to contract with insurance companies, we can offer you the flexibility to receive therapy exactly when, how often, and for how long you need it. You deserve the best care, and you are worth it.
How can I pay for therapy if you don’t take insurance?
Out Of Network Benefits. We provide you with a “superbill” that you can use to get partial reimbursement after each session if covered by your insurance company. Click here to use an online out-of-network reimbursement estimator.
Health Savings Account. Mental health services are an HSA-eligible expense. You can use your HSA to spend pre-tax dollars on mental health services.
EAP. If you or your spouse’s employer offers an EAP, they will sometimes cover or reimburse several sessions.
