Why Choose Self-Pay Therapy?

Many adults choose to pay out of pocket for therapy because it gives them more freedom and control over their mental health care. Here’s why self-pay therapy might be the best option for you:

  • Complete Privacy

    When you choose self-pay therapy, the information you discuss in therapy stays between you and your therapist. No insurance company involvement means no required diagnoses, no limitations on the number of counseling sessions, and no records impacting your insurance history. Self-pay therapy also means that you never have to worry about your insurance company auditing your health records.

  • No Session Limits

    Insurance companies often restrict the number of sessions, the duration of sessions, or require proof of "medical necessity." With self-pay therapy, nobody but you gets to decide if your concerns warrant participation in therapy.

  • Access to Your Preferred Therapist

    When you opt for self-pay therapy, you get to choose the therapist who is the best fit for you, rather than being limited to a provider who is in-network.

  • Access Specialized Services Not Covered by Insurance

    Certain therapeutic approaches, like intensives and extended therapy sessions, may not be covered by insurance. The self-pay route allows you to access the treatments you’re most interested in. At LifeSpring, for example, we have specialized services including Brainspotting Intensives and Ketamine-Integrated Therapy services that are not covered by insurance.

  • No Surprise Bills

    With self-pay, you’ll know exactly what your session costs upfront, without dealing with deductibles, copays, or unexpected denials of coverage. In our experience, the insurance companies themselves sometimes provide misinformation about your coverage and benefits.
