Insurance
Our office operates as an out-of-network provider. We can provide you with the necessary paperwork to file for your own insurance reimbursement. Generally speaking, most insurance companies will pay a percentage (80%, 70% or 60% are common) after you meet your deductible. Check with your insurance company for information about your specific benefits.
There are many reasons mental health professionals do not join insurance panels. The most important one is that filing with insurance companies usually requires the counselor to submit a mental health diagnosis.
For children, a mental health diagnosis may follow them into adulthood and limit future opportunities for some military or government jobs. Most children, who come to therapy, are dealing with adjustments to life’s difficulties and not a mental health illness.
