I decided to stop taking insurance for therapy services because it no longer aligns with my values as a mental health provider - because whoever pays for the session is in control of the session (and all the records associated with it).

You deserve therapy that puts you in charge - not your insurance company. No one else should be deciding how fast you make progress, what is important to be talked about, or when you should be done. You shouldn’t have to meet criteria deeming you “sick enough” to meet with a therapist. You shouldn’t be forced into diagnosis codes and treatment plans required by someone who has never met you.

When you choose therapy that is not controlled by your insurance company, you get the freedom to focus on what matters to you. Whether we meet weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly, investing in your well-being will always pay off.
