Investing in your own healing without the involvement of insurance allows you to maintain greater privacy, flexibility, and control over your care.

When therapy is billed through insurance, sessions must include a mental health diagnosis and be deemed “medically necessary.” That means our work together is filtered through a medical model — one that may not fully capture the nuance of what you’re navigating in your relationship or personal growth.

In private-pay therapy, we focus on what you believe needs attention — not just what qualifies for reimbursement. We’re not limited by session caps, diagnosis requirements, or outside decisions about how long healing should take.

Some clients also prefer not to have a mental health diagnosis shared with or stored by an insurance company. Choosing private pay keeps your therapy space confidential and centered entirely around your goals.

And sometimes, what brings you to therapy isn’t a disorder — it’s a season of transition, disconnection, or growth. That work is still deeply valuable, even if it doesn’t fit neatly into the medical model.


I am also paneled with the following select insurances:

  • Highmark/BCBS

  • Geisinger

  • Aetna

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
