My Philosophy

Stacey.Therapy is a private pay practice. I can not guarantee third party insurance coverage.

There are several pros to a therapist choosing not to take insurance, both for the therapist and the client. Therapists can set their own fees, rather than being restricted by insurance reimbursement, so my cost can stay lower for clients compared to insurance based practices.. Insurance companies often require a diagnosis and may limit the number of sessions. Without insurance, therapists can work with clients more flexibly and without needing to pathologize them. Therapists aren’t required to share clinical notes or diagnoses with third parties, which protects client confidentiality.
