Reasons to Pay Privately (Self-Pay Counseling)
Some clients choose to pay for counseling out of pocket (self-pay therapy) rather than using insurance. One common reason is to maintain additional privacy.
When insurance is used, a mental health diagnosis is typically required in order to submit claims. For some individuals, choosing self-pay allows them to avoid having a diagnosis included in their medical record.
Self-pay counseling can also offer:
- increased privacy
- more flexibility in treatment
- fewer limitations from insurance requirements
