I do not take insurance because I believe that psychotherapy should be a confidential and private process.
Insurance providers require that you be diagnosed with a mental disorder, and the presence of that diagnosis in your personal health file may possibly become a problem for you in the future; detailed clinical information is often requested, and your right to confidentiality is generally waived.
I believe that decisions you make about your psychotherapeutic progress and evaluations of the challenges you face are best worked with between us in a collaborative and private manner.
