We are a private pay clinic which means we are OON (Out of Network) for all insurance companies. This allows you to have more autonomy as a client and to have more freedoms regarding your individual needs and treatment. If you are interested in reimbursement for services rendered, please contact your insurance company directly to verify out of network reimbursement.

Why Consider Out of Network Services?

By using Out of Network (OON) services you have more autonomy for a collaborative assessment and/or diagnosis between client and therapist, rather than client, therapist and the insurance agency. When not working with insurance based services, a diagnosis is not required. Although there are times when a diagnosis is necessary and can be beneficial, sometimes it can also feel like a label that is stigmatizing or paralyzing and not helpful. You do not need to have a diagnosis to completely address and work toward the goals that bring you to therapy in the first place and I would not want that requirement to get in the way of your growth. There can be power in finding a way to name your own struggles without the dictation of therapeutic diagnosis that allows for more autonomy and feelings or power to create change.

When using OON service your records remain confidential as they are not shared with your insurance provider, and do not become part of your permanent record.

Couples who come in for OON services do not need to have an individual diagnosis. Most insurance agencies do not reimburse for a relationship diagnosis. So, if you choose to use insurance, one individual in the couple becomes the identified client with a diagnosis. With private pay, we are able to truly and completely identify the relationship as the client.

Superbill: If you would like to submit your private pay therapy receipts to your insurance company for reimbursement we are happy to provide you with a Superbill that contains all pertinent information.
