Why Choose Out of Pocket Counseling?
Many people opt for private pay counseling for a variety of reasons, including
-
Privacy & Control
When you seek out of pocket counseling, there’s no need for you to have a diagnosis or meet “medical necessity.” With private pay therapy, your therapist will never need to send information to your health plan for billing purposes or have to worry about your entire chart being audited for compliance. All of this ensures that your confidential information stays between you and your therapist.
-
Choice & Flexibility
When you pay for counseling services out of pocket, you can work with the therapist of your choice without having to worry about whether or not they are in-network. You also don’t have to worry about whether or not the therapist’s approach to treatment is approved by your health plan.
-
Access to Specialized Counseling Services
Some counseling services like Extended Therapy Sessions, Therapy Intensives, or longer Ketamine dosing sessions are not covered by your insurance. When you pay out of pocket, you choose the type of service you get to engage in, not your insurance company.
-
No Session Limits
Some health plans limit the number of sessions you can attend. All health plans determine how long your sessions will be. When you go out of network and choose self-pay, you can choose the session duration that works for your schedule and suits your personal preference.
-
Quick Access to Care
When you’re self-pay, you’ll know immediately how much your sessions cost. There’s no need to make a phone call or log in to a portal to find out what your copay, deductible, or co-insurance is.

What is Holding You Back from Starting Therapy?
Getting Started is Simple!
When you start therapy, you’ll have some decisions to make. Am I interested in online counseling, or do I want to meet with someone in person? From there, you’ll have to think about the type of therapist you think you’d work well with. At LifeSpring, we have both male and female therapists in case you have a preference.
